About the tool

What is Erase Text From Screenshot?

Erase Text From Screenshot is a free online eraser for words in screen captures. Instead of blurring or covering text with a black bar, it removes the letters and rebuilds the background so the screenshot looks untouched.

Three erase modes for different backgrounds

Smart fill reconstructs the area from surrounding pixels and works best on gradients. Sample color paints the area with the nearby solid color — ideal for flat UI. Brush repair lets you paint over exactly what should disappear.

Better than blur or black boxes

Blurred text can sometimes be recovered and black bars draw attention. Erasing removes the text completely and keeps the screenshot clean and professional.

Erase many words at once

Drag across a line or paragraph to select several words, then erase them in one step. Each erase can be undone.
