How to edit text in an image online
Change the words in a photo, screenshot, or design in about a minute, right in your browser.
- 01
Upload your image
Add a PNG, JPG, or WebP file up to 20MB. Photos, screenshots, posters, product shots, and AI-generated images all work. Uploading and setting up the edit is free.
- 02
Draw a box around the text
Mark only the word, number, or short phrase you want to change. A tight box keeps everything else in the image exactly as it was.
- 03
Type the new text and generate
Enter the replacement and press Generate. The AI rebuilds that area in the same font, size, color, and angle, then you check the result and download it.
Keeps the same font, color, and background
ImageTextEdit is an AI image text editor built for one job: replacing text that is already in an image so the edit is hard to spot. It studies the lettering around your selection and redraws only that part.

- Font and weight
- Letter shapes, thickness, spacing, and capitalization follow the original lettering, including hand-painted and stylized type.
- Color and texture
- Gradients, worn paint, grain, glare, and shadows are carried into the new characters.
- Angle and perspective
- Text on signs, packaging, or curved surfaces keeps the same tilt and perspective.
- The rest of the image
- Only the area you select is regenerated, so the layout, photo, and background stay untouched.

How do I edit text in an image without Photoshop?
Upload the image above, draw a box around the text you want to change, type the new words, and generate. You don't need layers, masks, or the original design file. For a longer walkthrough, see how to edit text in images without Photoshop.
Will the new text match the original font?
Yes, in most cases. ImageTextEdit doesn't place a font on top of your image; it redraws the selected area so the new characters match the surrounding lettering, color, and background. Very small, blurry, or heavily decorative text is harder, so always check the result before you use it. Read the same-font guide for tips.
Is ImageTextEdit free?
Uploading an image and setting up your edit is free and doesn't need an account. Generating the edit uses credits: packs start at $1.99 for 2 credits, and larger packs bring a standard edit down to about 10¢. If a generation fails, its credit is refunded automatically.
Which file types can I edit?
PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP images up to 20MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels, including screenshots. There are format-specific guides for editing text in a JPG and editing text in a PNG.
Can it fix misspelled text in AI-generated images?
Yes. Select the garbled word and type what it should say. The rest of the generated image stays the same, so you don't lose a result you otherwise like. See how to fix garbled text in AI images.
What is the difference between Standard and Pro Mode?
Standard uses 1 credit and handles most short edits. Pro Mode uses 3 credits and runs a stronger model that does better with longer phrases, small text, and complex backgrounds.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. ImageTextEdit runs in your mobile browser, so you can upload from your camera roll, mark the text with your finger, and download the result without installing an app.
How is this different from adding text in Canva or a photo editor?
Most photo text editors add a new text layer on top of the picture, which leaves the old words underneath and rarely matches the original style. ImageTextEdit replaces the text that is already part of the image. Compare the approaches in our Canva Grab Text comparison.
Which images can I edit?
Use ImageTextEdit on images you own or have permission to change, such as your own designs, photos, screenshots, and AI-generated images. Don't use it to alter identity documents, receipts, certificates, or other official records.
