Change Text in an Image with AI
Show the AI the words to change and the words to use instead. The lettering is redrawn in place — same style, same color, same angle — while the rest of the picture stays untouched.

Change the Words in Any Picture — Without Touching the Design
Every picture with words in it eventually needs one of those words changed: a poster with the wrong date, a menu with a new price, a screenshot with an outdated button label, a label with a renamed flavor. This editor lets you swap that wording in place. Upload the picture, tell the AI what the text says now and what it should say instead, and GPT Image 2 repaints just the lettering — inheriting the typeface, weight, color, angle and surface of the original so the edit is invisible. The rest of the image is left exactly as it was.
- The replacement text inherits the original lettering — typeface, weight, spacing, color and perspective all carry over.
- Works on designed graphics and photographed text alike: posters, menus, signs, packaging, app captures and scans.
- One credit per edit with free credits to start — no subscription required to try it.

Drag the slider. The sale headline is re-lettered in the original poster typography while the artwork stays untouched.
What Makes AI Text Replacement Actually Work
The hard part is not deleting words — it is drawing new ones that belong in the picture. That is what this editor is built around.
Lettering That Matches the Original
The model studies how each glyph in your image was drawn — the stroke contrast, the x-height, the spacing, the color — and rebuilds your replacement text in the same style. A condensed sans headline stays condensed; a brushed script stays brushed. The new wording reads as part of the design, not a patch over it.
Photographed Text Included
Words painted on a sign, printed on a menu or embroidered on a jacket live inside the scene's lighting and perspective. The editor keeps that context: shadows fall the same way, surfaces keep their texture, and lettering on an angle stays on its angle after the words change.
Edits Stay Inside the Lines
Everything you did not ask for stays put. Subjects, backgrounds, colors and composition are preserved by the edit prompt's explicit scope, so a one-word fix really is a one-word fix — no silent re-rendering of the whole frame.
Batch-Friendly Speed
Each edit takes seconds, which changes how you work: localizing a set of store screenshots, updating a season of campaign posters or fixing a folder of proofs stops being a redesign project and becomes a quick review pass.
Guided Instead of Prompt Engineering
You do not need to know how to prompt an image model. Two fields — the words as they are, the words as they want them — plus optional notes. An advanced panel exposes the full prompt for power users who want complete control.
Cropping for Surgical Accuracy
Built-in cropping lets you frame just the region that matters before generating. Tighter crops give the model more pixels per letter, which is the single biggest accuracy lever for small or ornate type.
How to Change Text in an Image
Three steps from the wrong words to the right ones.
Upload and Crop
Drop in a JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 24MB. If the text you are changing sits in one corner, crop to that region — the model gets a closer look and the edit lands more precisely.
Type the Old and New Wording
Enter the current text exactly as written, then your replacement. Add optional notes for anything special — keep a gradient, hold the arc of the line, match the worn paint look.
Generate, Review, Download
GPT Image 2 redraws the lettering in place in seconds. Check it at full size, download the PNG, or run another pass on the same image if a detail needs tuning.
