What it can do
Replace one date, price, sell-line, or short typo on a poster, product shot, or banner. You choose the box, the string, the font from a closed set, size, color, alignment, and wrap. The live overlay is free.
Flattened type, exact spelling
Edit Text in Image
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP, box one line of type, type the replacement, preview alignment, then download a file that contains those exact characters.
Exact characters, honest fonts
The export contains the replacement string you typed. Font matching to the original typeface is a visual fit from a closed set, not a recovered design file.
Type overlay
Replace One Line of Flattened Text
Upload one image, box the line, type the replacement, and preview alignment before you spend credits.

What This Edit Text in Image Tool Can and Cannot Do
This pass is for one boxed line on a flattened image. It is not OCR, not a layered editor, and not a path for identity documents.
What it will not claim
It does not recover the original font file, rebuild a layered PSD, or edit many regions in one run. After one download you may box another region on the result as a new paid job.
What is forbidden
Do not upload passports, IDs, licenses, or other identity documents. The workbench will not ship templates for that work.
Three steps
How to Edit Text in Image Files Online
Start with the highest honest resolution you have. Keep the original file. Treat the download as a viewing copy that contains the typed replacement.
- 01
Upload one supported image
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 5 MB, with each side from 256 to 4,096 pixels and no more than 16 megapixels.
- 02
Box the line and type the replacement
Drag a rectangle over one text region. Optional original text is stored with the task for recovery. It does not run OCR and is not sent as the erase prompt. Replacement text is required. Preview font, size, color, alignment, and wrap on the overlay before you pay.
- 03
Generate and download the composite
Sign in and confirm the fixed cost of 20 credits. The model reconstructs the boxed background. The same overlay is then drawn onto that result, and that composite is what you see and download.
Edit text in image cases
Swap a Date, a Sell Line, or a Typo
These illustrative examples show one boxed replacement at a time. They are not measured outputs or a performance benchmark. Inspect your result against the source.
Promo date swap
A flattened event poster with a date that moved. Box the date, type the new day, preview alignment, and download a file that contains the new characters.
Product sell-line swap
A product photo with a short sell line that needs a new phrase. Keep the pack shot. Replace only the boxed line.
English banner typo fix
A web banner with a misspelled English word. Box the typo, type the correct spelling, and download the composite. Font matching is a visual fit, not the original typeface file.
Spelling You Typed, Not a Recovered Font File
The download contains the replacement string you entered. That is the contract. Matching the original typeface, weight, and tracking is a visual approximation from Inter, Georgia, Impact, or Courier. If you need the original design file, go back to the source layout.
Keep the original image. Label generated copies. Recapture or rebuild in a design tool when the file has legal, medical, or identity weight.
Privacy, Storage, and Deletion
Upload only images you have the right and consent to process. Signed-in tasks and results can appear in My Creations as the reconstructed background, not the letter-accurate composite. Type settings, the box, and the replacement stay with the task so this browser can redraw the overlay and download without another charge.
The current storage backend has no automatic expiry for uploaded or generated image objects. Delete in My Creations calls the authenticated creation-delete endpoint and soft-deletes the task record from account history; it does not delete the underlying image object or provider copy. Review the Privacy Policy and contact support before uploading sensitive photos.
Choose the right workflow
Edit Text in Image vs Photoshop vs Canva
Pick the path that matches the file you have. Flattened replacement, desktop pixel editing, and layered design tools are different jobs.
| Edit Text in Image vs Photoshop vs Canva | Best for | Control | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edit Text in Image | A flattened JPG, PNG, or WebP with one visible line to replace and no source design file | One boxed region, typed replacement, live overlay, then a composited download | Exact spelling of what you type. Font matching is a closed visual set, not a recovered typeface |
| Photoshop | Desktop retouchers who want clone, type layers, masks, and pixel-level undo on a workstation | Manual healing, type tools, and layered history | Highest control, with more time, skill, and software cost |
| Canva | Layered templates where the original text object still exists and can be edited in place | Template text boxes, brand kits, and collaborative layout | Strong when you own the template. Weak when the only file is a flattened photo |

Questions
Edit Text in Image FAQ
Clear answers about flattened type, design files, ChatGPT, spelling, credits, and identity documents.
What does edit text in image mean?
It means replacing visible letters on a flattened photo or graphic when you do not have the original design file. You box one line, type the replacement, preview alignment, then download a composite that contains those exact characters.
Do I need the original design file?
No. This tool is for files that are already flattened. If you still have a layered poster or template, edit the live text object there instead.
Can ChatGPT edit text in an image?
ChatGPT can explain the problem and describe a workflow. This page runs the workflow at https://bananaproai.app/edit-text-in-image: upload, box one line, type the replacement, generate, and download the composite.
Will the new letters match the original font?
The download contains the exact spelling you typed. Font, size, color, and alignment come from the controls you set. Matching the original typeface is a visual approximation from a closed set, not recovery of the source font file.
How much does one run cost?
One edit text in image run uses 20 credits. Overlay preview is free. The workbench shows the cost and your remaining balance before submission. The existing task system avoids restarting a paid job when a connection is interrupted.
Can I edit a passport or ID photo?
No. Passports, IDs, licenses, and other identity documents are forbidden. Do not upload them.
Type the replacement. Inspect the composite.
Edit Text on a Copy of Your Image
Start with one flattened file, review the fixed 20-credit cost, and download only when the overlay spelling is the string you typed.
