To add text to an image using PIL, you first need to import the Image and ImageDraw modules. Create an instance of the Image class with your desired image file. Then create an ImageDraw object from this instance. Use the ‘text’ method on the ImageDraw object to add text to the image. The parameters for this method are the coordinates where the text will start, the actual text string, and optionally, fill color and font type.
Key considerations include choosing appropriate coordinates that ensure the text is visible and fits within the image boundaries. Also, consider the contrast between the text color and the image background for readability. If a specific font is required, it must be provided as a Font object; otherwise, a default font is used.
