Read every character
Compare capitalization, punctuation, accents, numbers, currency, date formats, URLs, and line breaks against the approved source.
Upload a poster, sign, label, screenshot, or photo. Replace one exact text region while preserving the original layout, subject, lighting, surface, and all untouched copy.

Replacement brief builder
Name the words. Lock everything else.
Build a narrow instruction here, then send it directly to the generator prompt above. Exact quoted copy is easier to inspect than “change the title.”
Generated instructionEditable after paste
Edit only the large centered headline at the top. Replace the exact visible text "SUMMER SALE" with "AUTUMN EDIT". Match the existing type style, weight, color, alignment, perspective, spacing, and surface texture. Preserve the person, product, logo, colors, lighting, background, crop, and all other text. Do not add any other words or redesign the image.

Real replacement evidence
The text changed. The poster still belongs to the same design.
This source/output pair makes one literal replacement: “OPEN DAILY” becomes “OPEN LATE.” The fictional café name, cup illustration, moon, frame, orange rules, palette, hierarchy, and letterpress character remain consistent. It shows the intended narrow-edit workflow without confusing text replacement with translation.
- 01Copy is the variable
Quote the original and replacement. Do not ask the model to “improve the poster,” because that authorizes a redesign.
- 02Layout is a constraint
Name the text box, alignment, line count, reading order, and maximum area the new phrase can occupy.
- 03Proofing is a separate step
Read every character at 100%, then compare crop, illustration edges, border geometry, colors, and all untouched copy.
Review an AI text edit in four passes
A convincing thumbnail can hide a misspelling, changed price, bent logo, or reconstructed face. Separate the checks so visual quality does not distract from copy accuracy.
Inspect the word shape
Check weight, letter spacing, baseline, alignment, perspective, outline, shadow, texture, and whether the replacement looks native to the surface.
Compare untouched pixels
Look at faces, hands, product edges, packaging geometry, logos, background objects, crop, lighting, and all text outside the target region.
Test the real size
View the image at the size and compression used by the store, ad, menu, post, or presentation. Small text that works at 100% may fail in context.
Use the AI image text editor for the right kind of change
Generative editing is strongest when text is fused into a photographed or illustrated surface. A normal design editor remains safer when the copy is already a selectable layer or must be reproduced exactly across many versions.
Poster, sign, or social image
Good fit when the original layout is flattened and the replacement should inherit print texture, perspective, lighting, or illustration style. Keep the edit to one text region per pass.
Product label or packaging mockup
Useful for a concept and visual review. Preserve package geometry and brand marks, but rebuild approved production artwork from source files before printing.
Menu, price card, or event date
Possible for a draft, but every digit, separator, and qualifier is high risk. Use a layout tool for the final asset when customers act on the information.
Screenshot or interface mockup
Useful for visualizing revised copy in context. Do not present the generated pixels as a functional interface, and keep the real UI text in code or design components.
Long paragraph or legal copy
Poor fit. Replace the content in an editable document or design file. Generated raster text is not searchable, accessible, selectable, or reliable enough for authoritative information.
Fix a failed replacement without widening the edit
When the first result is close, do not add a paragraph of unrelated style adjectives. Diagnose the visible failure and make the next instruction narrower.
The spelling is wrong
Repeat the exact replacement in quotation marks, ask for no additional words, and shorten the requested phrase if the text box is too small. For critical copy, place the final typography in a normal layout editor.
The new line does not fit
State the maximum number of lines and whether the model may reduce type size. If translation makes the phrase longer, approve a shorter localized version instead of squeezing unreadable copy into the old box.
The image changed outside the text
Return to the original source rather than editing the drifted result. Name one target region and strengthen the preserve list with the exact face, product, logo, color, crop, lighting, and neighboring text that moved.
AI text editor in image questions
How do I edit text in an image with AI?
Upload the original image, state the exact text that is visible now, state the exact replacement, identify where it appears, and list everything that must stay unchanged. Generate one controlled pass, then proofread the output at full size.
Can an AI image text editor preserve the original font?
It can often reconstruct a similar type style, weight, color, perspective, and surface treatment, but it does not extract or guarantee the original font file. Name visible font traits and review letterforms, spacing, and alignment rather than assuming a perfect match.
What images are easiest to edit?
Posters, signs, labels, menus, packaging, and social graphics with large legible text and a clean surrounding background are the best starting points. Tiny copy, glare, folds, low resolution, ornate lettering, and text crossing a face or complex texture need more review.
Can I replace text without changing the rest of the photo?
That is the goal of a preserve list. Tell the model to change only the named text region and preserve people, product geometry, logo placement, colors, lighting, texture, camera angle, crop, and all other copy. Generative edits can still drift, so compare the result against the source.
Does the tool support translated replacement text?
Yes. Enter the original phrase and the translated replacement as exact quoted copy. A translation can expand or contract, so also specify whether the text should fit the existing box, wrap to a second line, or use a slightly smaller size.
Why is the AI text misspelled?
Image generation is probabilistic, especially with long, small, curved, stylized, or low-contrast text. Keep each edit narrow, quote the exact replacement, request no extra text, and rerun or finish critical typography in a layout editor when exact copy is mandatory.
Can I use this as a photo text editor for legal or regulated material?
Use it only for a visual draft. Prices, ingredients, warnings, medical information, financial claims, dates, URLs, and legal lines need a source-of-truth layout file and human approval. Do not treat generated pixels as authoritative copy.
Which model does this page use?
The page opens GPT Image 2 because it supports image editing and text-rich visual work. The visible model selector remains available, so you can compare another compatible image-editing model while keeping the same replacement brief.
