See an Event Poster Headline Change
Compare the uploaded event poster with the flattened result produced by the current Image Text Editor workflow.
Event poster headline · Current editor resultSPRING MARKET → SUMMER MARKET
Generated with the current Image Text Editor workflow using the original uploaded poster.
Select: Choose the complete SPRING MARKET headline, including both words.
Enter: Type SUMMER MARKET in the replacement field. Enter only this wording, without quotation marks or editing instructions.
Check: Read every letter of SUMMER MARKET, check the spacing and any remaining old letter strokes, then compare the nearby paper texture and flowers with the original.
The result is a flattened image, not an editable text layer. Results vary with image quality, text style, background complexity, and model output.

Four-step workflow
How to Edit Text in an Image Online
Upload the Image
Upload the clearest JPG, PNG, or WebP version available. Higher-resolution sources usually provide sharper letter boundaries and more surrounding detail.
Select the Existing Text
Wait for visible text to be detected, then select the complete text block you want to change.
Enter the New Wording
Type only the text that should appear in the final image. A replacement with similar length is generally easier to fit into the existing visual area.
Generate, Compare and Download
Generate the edited image, compare it with the original, check every character and nearby detail, then download the flattened PNG.
Source and review quality
How to Get a Cleaner Image Text Edit
Use the Clearest Source
Upload the largest practical version instead of a compressed thumbnail or a screenshot copied through several apps.
Select the Complete Text Block
Include the full word, headline, label, date, or sentence that should be replaced.
Keep the New Copy Concise
A replacement that is much longer than the original may create different line breaks, scale, or spacing.
Review the Entire Image
Check spelling, typography, placement, background repair, nearby logos, borders, shadows, and small visual details before publishing.
Flattened output
What Happens After the Image Is Generated?
Image Text Editor creates a new flattened image. The replacement is not returned as a separate editable text layer, and the downloaded PNG does not include controls for changing the font, size, color, or position afterward.
Use the before-and-after comparison to review the generated result before downloading. When a project requires reusable text layers, exact font files, broad layout changes, or detailed manual control, return to the original Canva, Figma, Photoshop, or other design file.
Know before you edit
Image Text Editing Limitations
Results are most consistent when the original text is sharp, readable, and clearly separated from the surrounding background. Very small lettering, curved text, reflective surfaces, dense labels, strong perspective, complex textures, and long replacements can be less predictable.
The image model can misspell the new wording, leave traces of the original letters, or change nearby details. The current workflow focuses on one selected text block per generation, so separate text areas should be handled and reviewed one at a time.
Only upload and edit images you own or have permission to modify.
Image text editing questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit text that is already embedded in an image?
Yes. Upload the image, select one detected text block, enter the replacement, and generate a new flattened result. The tool does not require an editable text layer in the original file.
Do I need the original PSD, Canva, or Figma file?
No. The workflow is intended for finished JPG, PNG, and WebP images when the original editable design file is unavailable. When you still have the source file, editing there usually provides more precise control.
Which image formats are supported?
The editor accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 12 MB.
Will the new text use the exact same font?
The editor uses the visible lettering and surrounding design as visual references. Because a finished image does not contain the original font file, an exact font match cannot be guaranteed.
Can I edit several text areas at once?
The current workflow targets one selected text block per generation. For separate headlines, labels, or captions, complete and review each change one at a time.
Can I change the font size, color, or position after generation?
No. The result is a flattened image rather than an editable text layer. Review the generated result before downloading, and use the original design file when manual typography or layout control is required.
Is it free to edit text in an image?
Eligible new accounts receive 1 free credit, available for one Standard 1K result, plus capacity for 3 image scans. Paid one-time credit packs start at $4.99 for 12 credits.
What happens to my uploaded image?
Original uploads are stored privately for up to 24 hours. Completed flattened results and related private diagnostics are kept for up to 7 days unless you delete them sooner. Your uploaded image and relevant text instructions are sent to the providers needed to perform the edit. Read the Privacy Policy.
