01What is Screenshot Editor?+
Screenshot Editor is a free online screenshot text editor. It detects text in your screenshot with local OCR, then lets you erase or replace that text in the browser without uploading the image to a server.
02Are my images uploaded when I use Screenshot Editor?+
No. Screenshot Editor runs OCR and erasure locally in your browser with WebAssembly. Image data never leaves your device and is cleared when you close or refresh the page.
03Is Screenshot Editor free?+
Yes. Screenshot Editor is fully free: no account, no usage limits, and no watermarks on exports. The site is supported by ads.
04Which languages can Screenshot Editor OCR detect?+
Screenshot Editor defaults to English and lets you choose Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, or Russian before recognizing. Clear, high-contrast printed text works best.

06Can I replace text in a screenshot with Screenshot Editor?+
Yes. Select a detected text region in Screenshot Editor, enter new wording, and apply the replacement. Then download the updated PNG.

08The fill looks unnatural after erase — what can I do?+
Screenshot Editor’s fill works best on solid or simple gradients. On photos or busy textures, erase smaller regions in multiple passes.
