You could always upload an image that has text already on it, however, a lot of times including important text in an image isn\u2019t a good idea.

Not ideal if your coding knowledge isn\u2019t up to scratch.<\/p>\n<p>I had a dabble using the classic editor and a bit of custom CSS and was able to produce this classy little gem within a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_185279\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" data-caption=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-185279\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Popup-builder-html.png\" alt=\"Pop-up showing 10% off all squeaky toys\" width=\"600\" height=\"550\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Since you can add the content and design elements in code, the only limit is your imagination.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You get the freedom to design the pop-up yourself, with the advantage of being able to use the plugin\u2019s back-end features.<\/p>\n<p>It would be convenient if there were some built-in tools to help you add color and style, but I\u2019m reluctant to moan too much about something that didn\u2019t cost a penny.<\/p>\n<p>The free version does come with a lot of limitations though unfortunately.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_185282\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" data-caption=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-185282\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Popup-builder-unlock-1.png\" alt=\"Table showing the extra features you get with Pro.\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are a lot of worthwhile features here &#8211; but you have to pay up first!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Any form of advanced targeting is an added extra that you have to pay for &#8211; this includes selecting which device you want to display the pop-up on.
