Adding captions directly on photos stored in Dropbox

I have a few hundred photos stored in Dropbox that I need to add captions to. There must be a way to type direcly on the image. Having the caption over in the comments section would not work. 

I couldn't see a way to do this with Dropbox Paper.

Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks!

    Dropbox has no such feature.

    Rich,

    Thank you for your quick response, although it was not the answer I was hoping for. Maybe I can copy the photo out of Dropbox, put it in a Word document, and add the caption in Word.
