Perhaps this isn't what you need, but if you want to add a small line of text to an image, such as a copyright notice, here are two free image editors with that ability:
gimp.org/windows and
getpaint.net (for Windows)
If you need to convert the image as jpg or png, here is a free tool that installs as a "printer" that can make an image or pdf file from nearly anything that you can print:
pdfforge.org but I assume
xnview.com is superior as an image conversion tool.
