How it works

How to edit text in a screenshot in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Upload the screenshot

    Drop in a PNG or JPG capture from your phone or computer. On desktop the editor opens in a full-screen workspace so you have room to work.

  2. 02

    Select the words to edit

    Local OCR maps the text word by word. Tap a word, or drag across a line to select several at once — no manual box drawing required.

  3. 03

    Erase or rewrite, then download

    Clear the field to erase, or type new text and apply. Undo if you change your mind, then download the edited screenshot as PNG.

About the tool

What is Edit Text In Screenshot?

Edit Text In Screenshot is a free browser-based editor for changing the words inside a screen capture. It combines on-device OCR with erase and replace tools, so you can fix, hide, or update text without Photoshop or a design file.

One editor for every screenshot text task

Most tools only blur or only crop. Here you can erase a word with smart background fill, replace it with new text, or combine both across several regions of the same screenshot — then export a single clean PNG.

Built for real screenshots

App UIs, chat threads, dashboards, emails, and web pages all have small, dense text. Word-level OCR, pinch-to-zoom on mobile, and a fit-to-screen workspace on desktop make those details easy to select.

Private by default

OCR and editing run with WebAssembly and Canvas inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, and the image is gone from memory as soon as you refresh or close the page.
