What This Text Remover Can Erase
This text remover lets you remove text from image by painting over it. An AI inpainting model fills the painted area so it blends with the background around it. It handles most static text that has been added to or printed in a picture: titles and captions on graphics, orange date stamps from older cameras, usernames in screenshots, meme captions, and promotional text on product images.
It's meant for images you own or have the right to edit. A logo or stamp you placed is the watermark remover. Removing a creator's credit or copyright notice from someone else's work is not what either page is for. A shadow across a page or a face, with the letters staying, is remove a shadow from a photo, not this text remover. For an object in the scene rather than letters, the object remover is the right page. To cut a subject out of its background rather than erase a caption, use the background remover.
Common Uses
Reusing Your Graphics
Strip the old headline from a banner or thumbnail so you can add new text.
Localization
Remove original-language text from an image before adding a translation.
Date Stamps
Remove date stamp from photo corners — the printed date is small and usually sits on a simple background.
Privacy
Remove text from photo screenshots before sharing: a phone number, an address or a username.
Tips for Clean Text Removal
Text on plain areas works best
Text over sky, a solid color or a soft gradient usually disappears completely — the easiest way to erase text from picture backgrounds.
Paint the whole line
Covering a full line in one stroke gives the AI consistent context and avoids leftover fragments between letters.
Include outlines and shadows
Many captions have a stroke or drop shadow around the letters. Leave none of it behind.
Keep the area small
Paragraphs over a detailed photo are hard to fill well. Results are best when the text covers a small part of the image.
Limitations
- Text over faces, detailed textures or other text may not be reconstructed cleanly.
- Only still images are supported (JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25MB) — not video or animated GIFs.
- The fill is generated, not recovered: what was under the text is estimated from the surroundings.
- The free preview is 512px on the longest side with a watermark; full resolution without the watermark uses one credit.

Remove Text from Image FAQ
Is it free to remove text from image?
You can upload, remove text and download a 512px watermarked preview without an account. One full-resolution photo is $1.99 with no account. A free account includes 1 HD credit, and packs are $4.99 for 20 or $9 for 100.
Will the background look natural after removing text?
On plain or softly textured backgrounds, usually yes. Over complex textures, faces or patterns you may see some smoothing.

Yes. Date stamps are small and often sit over simple areas, which makes them one of the easier cases.
Is this the right page for a watermark?
Captions and labels stay here. A logo or stamp laid over a photo is the watermark remover. Only edit images you have the right to change — not someone else's credit or copyright notice.
Can I remove text from a screenshot?
Yes. Text on a plain app background is usually easy to remove.
Does it work on video?
No. It processes single still images only.
