Message Bubbles

Add iMessage-style chat bubbles to your photos

A free, in-browser tool to add iMessage-style chat bubbles to your photos. Customize the text, colors, size, and tail direction, then drag bubbles anywhere on the image. No signup, no watermark.

Free access has limits shown in the editor. Premium increases limits; AI generations require separate coins.

1. Upload your photo — Open zebra.tg/bubble and load the image you want to caption, like a meme, screenshot, or social post.
2. Add a message bubble — Insert an iMessage-style chat bubble and type your text. Add as many bubbles as you need for a back-and-forth conversation.
3. Customize the look — Set the bubble color from presets or a custom hex value, adjust font size and text alignment (left, center, or right), and pick the tail direction (left or right).
4. Position and resize — Drag each bubble to place it exactly where you want, then scale and rotate it to fit your photo.
5. Download your image — Save the finished photo to your device, ready to share or post.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Zebra runs in your browser, so you can add and drag bubbles on a phone or tablet as well as a desktop.

Can I create a fake text conversation with multiple bubbles?

Yes. You can add multiple bubbles to a single photo, set each one's tail direction left or right, and position them to look like a real back-and-forth chat.

Can I match my own brand or theme colors?

Yes. You can choose from preset bubble colors or enter a custom hex code to match any color you need.

Are my photos private?

Zebra edits your photo in the browser, so your image stays on your device and isn't required to leave it to add bubbles.
