Writing to existing image

{
    header("Content-Type: image/png");
    echo (new TextToImage(__DIR__ . '/default.png'))->addTexts($text1, $text2, $text3, $text)->render();
}
    
// Or save to a file
(new TextToImage(__DIR__ . '/default.png'))->addTexts($text1, $text2, $text3, $text)->render(__DIR__ . '/tmp.png')

Writing to a new image:

{
    header("Content-Type: image/png");
    echo (new TextToImage())->setDimension(350, 350)->setBackgroundColor(0, 0, 0)->addTexts($text1, $text2, $text3, $text)->render();
}
    
// Or save to a file
(new TextToImage())->setDimension(350, 350)->setBackgroundColor(0, 0, 0)->addTexts($text1, $text2, $text3, $text)->render(__DIR__ . '/tmp.png');
