How it works
Three steps. One precise correction.
ImageRetext works directly on flattened artwork. No PSD, Figma file, or editable text layer required.
Name the exact words
Enter the text as it appears, then provide the replacement. Precise input makes precise targeting easier.
Review the pixels
Download the result after checking small type, texture, alignment, and nearby background details.
Flattened image editing
Edit text in an image—even when the text layer is gone.
Many images arrive without an editable source file. A designer exports a poster as a JPG, a product team saves a UI as a PNG, or a generated image contains a nearly perfect headline with one wrong letter. At that point, the words are no longer live type. They are pixels mixed with the background, lighting, texture, and compression of the picture.
ImageRetext is built for that specific problem. Instead of asking you to identify a font, rebuild a layout, erase the old phrase by hand, and place a new text box, the image text editor uses the source image as its visual reference. You name the words that currently appear, enter the replacement, and optionally explain where the text sits. The editing model then receives a deliberately narrow instruction: change that phrase and preserve unrelated content.
This approach is useful when you need to edit text in an image without access to PSD, Figma, Canva, or other layered artwork. It is not conventional typesetting, and it does not recover the original font file. The model visually interprets the lettering and surrounding pixels, so the result should be treated as a new image that needs a careful proof—not as an untouched source file with one magically editable layer.
A strong fit
Short headlines, button labels, signs, captions, poster details, packaging concepts, and readable text with enough surrounding pixels.
A harder fit
Long paragraphs, one-pixel interface text, handwriting, ornate logos, text hidden behind objects, and dense pages that require exact document layout.
Before and after
One image text editor, across every kind of visual.
See before-and-after text edits across posters, food ads, product campaigns, app UI, and fictional document designs—all while keeping the original image recognizable.

A tiny copy change should not force a full redesign. ImageRetext replaces the requested words while preserving the layout, shapes, colors, and visual character around them.

Better instructions make the new words feel native.
The model can see the source, but your wording tells it what must change and what must remain fixed. A precise request reduces ambiguity and makes the finished image easier to proof.
Transcribe the source exactly
Copy the visible phrase with the same spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and line breaks. If the same words appear twice, describe the location—for example, ‘the white headline in the upper-right corner.’ This helps the editor target the intended region instead of changing unrelated copy.
Respect the available space
A replacement with a similar character count is more likely to preserve the original scale and alignment. When changing ‘SUMMER’ to ‘AUTUMN,’ the layout can remain compact. Replacing it with a full sentence may require smaller letters, different wrapping, or a redesigned composition.
Describe the visible treatment
Use the optional notes when the styling matters: condensed cream letters, red outline, soft drop shadow, embossed gold foil, painted sign, curved baseline, or text following the perspective of a package. Describe what you can see rather than guessing the font name.
Protect the rest of the image
Make one focused correction at a time. After generation, compare the result with the source at full size. Check nearby edges, repeated patterns, faces, logos, small icons, product shapes, and background texture. If those details drift, retry with a narrower location note.
Source file notes
The file format changes what you should inspect.
JPG / JPEG
JPEG is common for photos, exported ads, and shared promotional graphics. Compression can create halos around small letters and blocky color transitions. Use the largest available copy, avoid repeatedly resaving it, and inspect sharp type against flat backgrounds after editing.
PNG
PNG often carries screenshots, interface graphics, logos, and artwork with crisp edges. It gives the model cleaner source pixels, but generative output may still alter very thin lines or transparency near the edited area. Check alpha edges before placing the result over a new background.
WebP
WebP is accepted for modern web graphics and downloaded images. Both lossy and lossless sources can look similar in a browser, so judge the visible quality rather than the extension alone. If lettering already looks soft or smeared at 100%, find a higher-resolution source before replacing it.
A necessary limitation
Generative editing is powerful—not pixel law.
Always inspect small lettering, product details, faces, logos, and nearby textures. Very small, curved, handwritten, or heavily stylized text may require another pass.
Do not use ImageRetext to falsify official, identity, financial, legal, medical, or transactional documents.
FAQ
Before you change the words.
Can ImageRetext edit text that is already flattened into an image?
Yes. ImageRetext uses an image-editing model rather than relying on editable design layers. Enter the visible source text and the replacement so the model can target the right lettering.
Does it keep the original font?
It attempts to reproduce the font character, weight, spacing, color, perspective, and surrounding texture. Results are strongest on clear, readable text; unusual lettering and very small text may need another pass.
Which files can I upload?
You can upload JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 6MB. Start with the cleanest, highest-resolution copy you have. A heavily compressed screenshot or tiny social-media download gives the model fewer reliable letter shapes and background pixels to work with.
Will anything else in my image change?
The edit prompt explicitly asks the model to preserve everything outside the requested text. Because this is generative editing, always review fine details before publishing.
How do I get a replacement that fits the original text area?
Keep the new phrase reasonably close to the source length, capitalization, and number of lines. If the wording must be longer, use the placement notes to explain whether the model may reduce the type size or widen the text within the existing design.
Can I change several pieces of text in one image?
You can describe more than one change, but one short region per edit is usually easier to review and control. Finish the first correction, download or continue from that result, and then target the next region.
Is this different from placing a text box over a photo?
Yes. A normal overlay covers the old words and often looks like a pasted label. ImageRetext asks the editing model to reconstruct the old lettering area and render the replacement in context, including visible color, texture, perspective, lighting, outline, and shadow.
Can I use the image text editor on a phone?
Yes. The upload and editing workflow works in a modern mobile browser. For easier review, zoom into the finished image and inspect letter edges, nearby icons, faces, product details, and textured backgrounds before downloading.
Can it fix unreadable text in an AI-generated image?
Often, especially when the intended replacement is a short headline, sign, or label. If the source glyphs are too garbled to type, describe the text location and visual treatment in the optional notes, then provide the exact wording you want.
Can I edit official documents or receipts?
No. ImageRetext is for authorized creative, marketing, localization, mockup, and correction workflows. Do not use it to falsify identity, financial, legal, medical, or other official documents.
