How it works

How to edit text in image in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Upload an image to edit

  2. 02

    Detect text automatically

    Local OCR finds text in your image and highlights each region. Pick an OCR language if needed — recognition usually takes only a few seconds.

  3. 03

    Erase or replace the text

    Tap a highlighted box to edit text in image: clear the field to erase, or type new wording and apply. Then download a clean PNG.

About the tool

What is Edit Text In Image?

Edit Text In Image is a free online tool for changing text that already appears inside a picture. Instead of redesigning the graphic, you upload the image, detect the words with OCR, and erase or replace them locally in your browser.

A privacy-first way to edit text in image files

Many online editors upload your file to the cloud. Edit Text In Image runs OCR and editing on your device, so images, memes, posters, and product shots never leave your browser.

Who should use Edit Text In Image

Marketers, creators, support teams, students, and anyone who needs to edit text in image assets quickly — redact private details, fix typos, or refresh marketing visuals without opening desktop software.

What you can do when you edit text in image

Remove phone numbers and IDs, replace incorrect captions, clean UI images, and export a watermark-free PNG. Zoom in on mobile when the text is small, then apply your edit with one click.
