Remove text from image

Remove text from image: clear distracting text from your picture

Remove an unwanted caption, date or label from a photo or screenshot. Brush over the lettering you want to erase, then let AI estimate the covered background. Compare the filled area and the surrounding image before saving your edited copy.

Three text-removal situations to inspect

These guides cover the same kinds of overlays as the reference examples. They are checks for your own result, alongside the approved preview, rather than claims about a measured model run.

A camera date in a corner

A timestamp on an uncluttered background is a useful starting point. Cover the characters and their outlines, then look for a visible patch or color difference.

A caption across a person

Words over clothing or hands require a reconstructed fill. Check fabric, fingers and edges carefully; do not assume the hidden detail has been recovered.

A label over a product

If a price tag crosses a handle or other narrow shape, inspect its geometry and watch for color left by the original lettering. Product details still need to be accurate.

How to remove text from an image

01

Choose a photo or screenshot

Select, drop or paste one JPG, PNG or WebP up to 15 MB and 40 megapixels. Only process an image you own or have permission to edit.

02

Mark the unwanted lettering

Turn on the brush and cover each word with a small margin, including outlines and shadows. Use Clear selection and redraw if the selection includes detail you want to keep.

03

Run, compare and save

Choose the output format, check the 6-credit rate and start the removal. Inspect both the filled area and the rest of the image, then download the result.

What the text remover reconstructs

Captions, subtitles, dates, stickers and price labels can cover a picture that is otherwise useful. The removal mask tells the model which area you want replaced. It estimates a continuation of the surrounding surface, such as a wall, sky, cloth or product background.

The goal is a localized edit, rather than a rewrite of the entire picture. Keep the brush away from faces, logos and nearby lettering you want to retain. Compare those details afterward; a mask does not by itself prove that all unmarked pixels were preserved.

Each run costs 6 credits. Keep the original so you can compare the reconstruction and try a more careful selection if necessary. Save the selected result within the 24-hour file-retention window.

Text and backgrounds that are easier to work with

Try an added social caption, camera date, burned-in subtitle in a still screenshot, handwritten note or product sticker. A simple or repeating background provides more context than a large block of text covering a face or a complicated pattern. For several overlays, work on a manageable area and review each paid run before moving on.

What text removal does not do

  • It removes selected lettering and estimates a fill; it does not retype a word, translate a caption or insert replacement text.
  • It cannot verify what was hidden beneath a large overlay. Reconstructed faces, hands and patterns may be inaccurate even when the fill looks convincing.
  • Use it for marks you own or have permission to remove. It does not grant rights to remove another creator’s watermark, signature or credit.
  • It is not an upscaler. This workbench accepts files within its 15 MB / 40 MP limits and does not promise automatic 4096px resizing or a particular restored output size.
