Edit text in an image and keep the same font
Remove the old words from a picture or screenshot and type new ones in the same font, size, color and effects, glow and outline included: a headline, date, price or typo. From 1 credit per edit.
Tip: copy the current text exactly, including capitals. Short lines work best.

Short answer
Yes, you can change the text in a picture or a screenshot and keep the same font. Upload the image, type what each line says now and what it should say, and LayerPSD removes the old words and draws the new ones in the same place, at the same size, in the same lettering and color, with glow, outline, gradient and shadow carried over. “Same font” means the lettering is matched by eye and redrawn: you do not need the font file or the original design. An edit takes about 25 seconds and uses 1 to 2.5 credits; your first one is free when you sign in with a Gmail account.

The whole picture is redrawn, so tiny details can shift
a much longer replacement is set smaller to fit; small print is less reliable. Keep the original
Other ways to change text in a picture
If you still have the original design file, edit it there. If all you have is the image:
| Way | What you do | Font and effects |
|---|---|---|
| Photoshop by hand | Paint out the old words, identify the font (Match Font), type the new words, rebuild the glow or outline | Exact if you own the font; effects rebuilt by hand |
| Canva Grab Text | Turns the text in the picture into an editable text box | Closest font in Canva’s library; effects such as glow may need redoing |
| AI image text editors (ReWords.AI, RetypeWords, Imagelier) | Select the words in the picture, type the replacement, the AI redraws them | Visual match of the lettering; free exports carry a watermark and downloads need an account |
| LayerPSD, this page | Type the old and new words, get a PNG back | Redrawn in the same lettering and effects; no font needed |
| LayerPSD, editable text PSD | Split the image into layers, export a PSD | Real Photoshop type; outline, glow and shadow become layer styles |
Tested on 28 designs
We sent the same 28 designs (posters, flyers, social graphics, app screens, slides, menus) with 34 text changes through this page's prompt on each model (2026-10-11), read the results back with the vision model the editable-text PSD uses, and compared the lettering by eye on before/after crops.

“Changed outside the edit” is the share of a 768 px greyscale copy that differs by more than 32 levels outside the edited lines; a few percent is normal because the model redraws the whole picture. “Lettering kept” counts crops where the font, weight, colour and effects carried over; “close” means small drift.

Which model to use
Same 28 designs, 34 text changes, one run per model (2026-10-09 – 2026-10-12); lettering judged by eye on before/after crops, times as measured:
| Model | Price | Time | Result on our test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nano Banana 2.1 | 2.5 credits | 18–91 s | All 34 changes right; lettering carried over in 27 of 28 crops. On the movie poster “OUT NOW” stayed thin and silver, but the tiny credits line above it was redrawn |
| GPT Image 2 | 1.7 credits | 26–59 s | 33 of 34 changes right: it left one menu price unchanged. Lettering kept in 25 of 28 crops, close in 2 (a smudge under the puzzle score, the tiny credits rewritten on the poster). Changed 2 other lines on the Chinese social cover |
| Seedream 5.0 Flash | 1 credit | 16–25 s | All 34 changes right; lettering carried over in 25 of 28 crops. On the movie poster the words came back bolder and cream; on the two Arabic designs the new words came back darker and heavier |

Questions
Short answers on splitting, export and billing. Anything else, email us and a person replies.
How can I change text in an image and keep the same font?
Upload the image, type the current text and the new text, and press Change the text. The model redraws the new words in the same font style, weight, color and effects, in the same place. You do not need to know the font name or have the original design file.
Is there a tool that removes text from an image and lets me type new words in the same font and style?
Yes, this page does both in one step: type what the text says now and what it should say, and the old words are removed and the new ones drawn in their place in the same lettering, size, color and effects. It works on JPG, PNG and WebP, screenshots included, and the first edit is free when you sign in with a Gmail account.
Can I replace the text on a poster and match the original font, size, color and placement?
Yes. Each new line is drawn where the old one was, at the same size and in the same color and lettering, with glow, outline and shadow kept. A much longer replacement is set a little smaller so it fits the same space.
How do I edit the text in a flattened poster without rebuilding the design?
Upload the poster here, type each line as it reads now and what it should say, and the image model redraws the poster with those words changed, in the same lettering, colour and effects, and is told to keep the rest as it was; small details can shift, so compare before you save. You do not need the source file or the font. If you want to edit the poster in Photoshop later instead, split it into layers and export a PSD with editable text.
How do I change the date or price on a flyer I only have as a PNG?
Upload the PNG and add one row per change, for example “AUG 14–16” → “SEP 20–22” and “$3” → “$4”. Both are redrawn in their own lettering in one edit, as in the before/after examples on this page.
Does it keep glow, outline and gradient effects?
Yes, the new words are drawn with the same effects. On the neon festival poster above, the pink glow carried over to the new headline. Very fine textures can come out slightly different, so compare before you save.
Does it change the rest of the picture?
It is asked to change nothing else, and in our tests the rest stays put. Because the model redraws the whole image, tiny details can shift slightly, so compare before and after and keep the original.
What if the new text is longer than the old text?
It keeps the same style but is set smaller so it fits the same place. For the closest match keep replacements about the same length, or split the image into layers and edit the text in a PSD.
Is this a photo text editor for JPG and PNG?
Yes. It edits the words in any JPG, PNG or WebP: photos, screenshots, posters, menus. It is not a text box laid on top; the new words are drawn into the picture in the original lettering, as if they had always been there. To get the text as editable type instead, export an editable text PSD.
How do I edit the text in a screenshot?
The same way as any picture: upload the screenshot (PNG or JPG, from a phone or a desktop), press Read the text for me or type the line as it appears, type the replacement, and press Change the text. The new words are drawn in the same system font, size and colour, so a changed price or button label looks like part of the original screen; see the app checkout example above. Use it on your own screenshots, for a mockup, a demo or a corrected figure, not to make a message or a conversation look like it happened.
Can I use it as a screenshot text editor?
Yes, for text of normal size: a title, button label, menu item or price on an app or web screenshot. Type the old and new words exactly as they appear. Very small interface text is less reliable, and because the whole screenshot is redrawn, fine details elsewhere can shift slightly, so compare before you share it. If you need the screenshot text as editable layers, export an editable text PSD instead.
Can it change text in other languages?
Yes. Latin, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic text all work; keep each change to a line or two for the best result.
Is there a free version?
Yes. Sign in with Google (a verified Gmail account) and your first text edit, or one layer split, is free. No card is needed. After that each edit uses credits: 1 to 2.5 per image, depending on the model.
How much does it cost?
One edit is one image: 2.5 credits on Nano Banana 2.1, 1.7 on GPT Image 2 or 1 on Seedream Flash. Credit packs start at $9.90 for 100 credits, and your first try is free when you sign in with a Gmail account.
How reliable is it?
In our 28-design test, Nano Banana 2.1 got 34 of 34 text changes reading back exactly as asked, and in 27 of 28 before/after crops the font, weight, colour and effects carried over by eye; the median share of the picture that changed outside the edited lines was <0.1%. Stylised or very small lettering and much longer replacements are where it slips, so compare before you save. Per-run results are published at /data/text-edit-benchmark.json.
