Do I need to select the text before replacing it?
No. Just describe what text to replace: 'replace the sign text with OPEN.' The AI identifies the text automatically. Only use markers if there are multiple text areas and you need to specify which one.
How do I replace text in a photo for free?
Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'replace the text on [location] with [new text].' The AI swaps the text in 20-40 seconds, matching the original font. Free, no login, no watermarks.
Will the new text match the original font?
The AI analyzes the original font style and attempts to match it. For best results, mention 'same font style' or describe the font type (serif, bold, script) in your prompt.
Can I replace text on curved surfaces like mugs or bottles?
Yes. Add 'following the same curve' to your prompt. The AI will wrap the new text to match the surface curvature of the original text.
Is EditThisPic's AI text replacer really free?
Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.
Is my photo kept private when I replace text?
Yes. Your photo is processed in real-time by the AI and is not stored on our servers after editing. No account is required to use the tool, and we don't collect or share your images. Your original file stays on your device.
How does EditThisPic compare to Cleanup.pictures for replacing text?
EditThisPic uses AI that understands natural language, so you describe the edit you want instead of using complex tools. It works instantly in your browser with no software to install or learn. For replacing text, you simply type what you want and the AI handles the rest in 20-45 seconds.
Can the AI remove text without damaging the photo underneath?
Yes. The AI fills in what should be behind the text using context from the surrounding image. Simple backgrounds restore perfectly; complex patterns underneath text may need a refinement prompt for seamless results.
Can I replace text for multiple photos at once?
Currently, EditThisPic processes one photo at a time for the best AI results. Upload each photo individually and use the same prompt — the process takes about 20-45 seconds per image. For large batches, a paid plan gives you unlimited edits without waiting.
What makes a good photo for replacing text?
Well-lit photos with clear subjects produce the best results. Avoid heavily compressed or very small images. Front-facing angles typically work better than extreme side angles. The AI can work with most photos, but higher quality input means higher quality output.
What types of photos work best with this tool?
JPG, PNG, and WebP photos up to 7MB work best. The AI handles photos from any camera or phone. High-resolution images with good lighting produce the best results. Extremely dark, heavily compressed, or very small images may produce less precise edits.
Can I also crop the image in the same edit?
Yes! You can combine multiple edits in one prompt. For example, ask to replace text and crop the image at the same time. The AI understands complex multi-step instructions. For very different changes, separate prompts may give better control over each edit.
