  How do I add some text on top of an image?
  The settings only allow me to add text underneath a picture in the caption, so the support advised me that I’ll need to do it through html. The images also functions as a link.
  Can anyone help me?

  There is no ability to do that here after you upload an image. You need to use either free desktop image editing software https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/image-optimization/#image-editing-software or free online image editing software https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2009/11/28/ten-free-online-image-compression-and-optimzation-programs/ first.

  Thank you Timethief – but these links are about resizing as far as I can see. Do you know of any good tool where I can add on text to an image?
