About EditTextImage.
Built for the one-line edit.
EditTextImage is an AI tool that swaps text on existing images while keeping the original font, color, layout, lighting and perspective bit-identical — built for the situations where re- creating the design from scratch is wasteful but Photoshop is overkill.
EditTextImage is an independent SaaS shipped by a small team of design-tool and applied-AI engineers. The site went live on 2026-04-16; the editor itself uses a Gemini-family vision model with a custom inpainting pipeline trained on typographic preservation rather than free-form image generation.
Why we built EditTextImage
Every designer, marketer and ecommerce seller we’ve worked with has the same problem: a finished image — a poster, a Reels cover, a product photo, a menu — needs one line of text changed, and the only options were (a) reopen Illustrator with the original PSD, (b) run a font-identification hunt and rebuild the layer in Photoshop, or (c) commission the designer all over again. All three are wildly disproportionate to the task. EditTextImage replaces all three with a 10-second flow: upload, type the old text and the new text, download. The AI samples the original typography from the image pixels, removes the old glyphs via generative inpainting, and re-renders the new text in the same font, color, weight and perspective. The rest of the image stays exactly the same.
How the editor actually works
The technical core combines three parts:
- Glyph segmentation. A vision model identifies exactly which pixels belong to the target text — including drop shadows, strokes, foil effects and gradients — without touching anything else.
- Background reconstruction. Generative inpainting rebuilds the texture, photography or illustration underneath the original text, so the area where the old word used to live looks like it never had text on it.
- Typography-matched re-render. The new text is rendered on top in a font that matches the sampled typography — including paid fonts the user doesn’t own, hand-lettering, chalkboard script, and stylized display type. No font installation is required.
The whole pipeline runs server-side; the user’s browser only uploads the source image and downloads the result.
What we explicitly do not do
We do not edit ID documents, passports, driver’s licenses, receipts where the amount is being changed for fraud, bank statements, chat screenshots where the conversation is being fabricated, currency, or transcripts and certificates used to deceive. Uploads of those categories are flagged and blocked; see our Acceptable Use Policy for the complete list and the reasoning. We’d rather lose the traffic from that intent than build infrastructure for fraud.

How EditTextImage compares to the alternatives
Photoshop is the canonical professional image editor. EditTextImage is purpose-built for the specific task of editing text on a finished image — ~10 seconds vs 5–15 minutes per edit, no font installation needed.
Canva is excellent for designing from templates. EditTextImage edits text on any rendered image — including images that weren’t built in Canva — without a Pro subscription or brand-kit setup.
Photopea is a remarkable free Photoshop clone. EditTextImage targets the narrower text-replacement task with AI font sampling instead of manual layer editing.
