Change words without rebuilding the screen
Re-creating a screen just to fix one label wastes time. Change the text in the screenshot itself — the original wording is cleared and the new text is drawn in its place.

How it works
How to change text in a screenshot
- 01
Open your screenshot
Upload a PNG or JPG. The file is read locally by your browser — it is never sent anywhere.
- 02
Tap the word you want to change
OCR highlights the text automatically. Tap the word; its current wording is filled into the input so you can edit it directly.
- 03
Type the new text and apply
Font size and color are estimated from the original. Apply, check the result, and download the updated screenshot.
About the tool
What is Change Text In Screenshot?
Change Text In Screenshot is a free online tool for updating wording inside an existing screen capture. It is the quickest route from “that word is wrong” to a corrected image: tap, type, apply.
Close to the original look
The editor estimates font size and color from the detected text, so most changes blend in on the first try. You can still adjust font, weight, and alignment if needed.
Use it responsibly
Change text in screenshot images to correct, update, or anonymize your own content. Do not use it to fabricate evidence, receipts, or messages intended to mislead others.
Why us
Why change text in screenshot here
01
Original text prefilled
Selecting a word drops its recognized text into the input, so small corrections take one keystroke.
02
Auto-estimated style
Size and color are sampled from the original wording to keep the change consistent with the screenshot.
03
Phone-friendly editing
On mobile the selected word is zoomed in and the input stays above the keyboard, so you can see what you change.
04
100% local processing
Your screenshot is processed in browser memory and cleared when you leave — nothing is uploaded.
05
Multi-language OCR
Change English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and several European languages by picking the matching OCR language.
06
Free, no watermark
No account and no usage cap. Exports are clean PNGs at original resolution.
