Shot at an angle
A shop sign seen from the street
The sign runs away from the camera, so a typed caption would look pasted on. Repainting the words keeps them on the same plane as the wall they are mounted to.

Change the words on a sign, label or banner in a photo. The new lettering follows the angle, light and surface already in your picture.

The short answer
Upload your photo, type the words you can see and the words you want, and the AI repaints that lettering into the scene. It works best on words that are large and sharp in the frame, and there is no font to find or layer to rebuild.
Words in photos are harder than words on a page
Examples are illustrations of the kinds of edits you can make, not model results.

Textured surface
A chalkboard with uneven strokes
No font file has dusty, hand-drawn digits. The new price is drawn with the same rough edge as the numbers beside it, so one line does not look newer than the rest.

Studio lighting
A badge in a product shot
Rebooking a shoot to change a number is hard to justify. Swap the wording on the badge and leave the bottle, the shadow and the backdrop alone.
Try it on your imageWhy typing over a photo rarely looks right
A photo has no text layer. The letters are only pixels, shaped by lens distortion, light falloff and whatever surface they were printed on. A text tool adds clean, flat type on top of all that, and the eye notices at once.
An AI redraw takes a different route. It reads how the existing letters are lit and angled, removes them, rebuilds what was behind them, and paints the new word under the same conditions.
After generating, use the highlight option to see which part of the photo changed. When the change stays in one area, we keep your original pixels everywhere else.

How to edit text in a photo
- 1
Upload the sharpest version
Use the original photo when you can. Letters that are large in the frame give the best result.
- 2
Type the words exactly
Enter the whole word or phrase as it appears, then what it should say.
- 3
Compare, then download
Drag the slider across the words and check the edges before you download.
When a photo is a poor fit
Busy repeating backgrounds
Brick, knitwear and tile are hard to rebuild without a visible seam.
Very small or blurred words
If you can barely read them, the model can’t either. Try a closer crop.
Photos used as evidence
Don’t change photos that others will rely on as a record of what happened.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit text in a photo for free?
New accounts get 1 free edit after signing in. After that, credit packs start at $3.90 for 8 edits, and credits never expire.
Will the rest of my photo change?
We compare the result with your original in your browser. If the change stays in one area, everything outside it is restored from your original file. If the model altered too much, we tell you so you can check the whole image.
Which photo formats can I upload?
PNG, JPEG and WebP, up to 10 MB each. Phone HEIC photos need converting to JPEG first.
Does it work on photos taken at an angle?
Yes, that is where a redraw helps most, since the letters follow the perspective already in the picture. Results depend on how clear the original words are.
How long does an edit take?
Usually under a minute. If an edit fails, your credit is refunded automatically.
Got a photo with the wrong words on it?
