For small businesses and marketers

Change the words in a photo and keep everything else.

A storefront mock-up with the new name, a poster photo with a corrected date, a menu board with a changed item: you name the text to change and the text to put in its place, and the Text tool redraws it in the original lettering style and perspective.

Because it is a region edit, every pixel outside the changed area stays identical, and the editor reports how much of the image moved: 10.17% in the sign example below.

Why it fits

What matters for this work.

  • It keeps the look of the existing lettering instead of pasting a new font over it.
  • Replace swaps a whole object for another in the same place and light, so you can change the dish on a menu photo or the item on a shelf without a reshoot.
  • It is paid per edit with no subscription: 50 credits ($0.50), and a failed edit is refunded.

Real results

Drag to compare. Every one is a real edit.

Each pair is a photo edited with the instruction under it, unretouched. Where the editor reports a percentage, that is how much of the image it says changed.

Honest limits

Read this before you rely on it.

  • We have tested short text in Latin letters on a large sign. We have not tested long paragraphs, small print or non-Latin scripts, so we do not claim they work.
  • It is generative: two runs of the same instruction can differ, and a letter can come out wrong. Check the result, and ask for variations if it does.
  • Translating text is not a feature. You tell it the exact new words.
  • Do not use it to forge documents, identity papers, receipts or official signs, or to put words in someone else's mouth.
  • In the fruit example the first run left part of the old banana behind, so the instruction was reworded to include the stem. Be specific about what to replace.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Can AI change the text on a sign in a photo?

Yes. Choose the Text tool, give the current text and the new text, for example change "Latin Barber Shop" to "Nano Barber Shop", and generate. In the example above the lettering style was kept, the editor reported 10.17% of the image changed, and everything else was identical.

Does it keep the original font?

It matches the existing lettering style and perspective rather than using a font from a list. It is not an exact font match, so compare the result with the original.

Can I replace a product or a dish in a photo?

Yes, with the Replace tool. Describe what to remove and what to put in its place. In the example the banana was replaced with grapes in the same place and light, and the rest of the bowl was untouched.

Is there a limit on how much text it can change?

We have only tested short text on a large sign. Longer text and small print are untested, so try it on one photo first. A failed edit is refunded.
