What Text Can You Remove?
Date Stamps
Remove the orange or yellow date stamps printed by film cameras and older digital cameras that ruin otherwise great photos.
Subtitles & Captions
Remove hardcoded subtitles from screenshots or video stills. Works best on letterbox bars and solid-color subtitle backgrounds.
Copyright Notices
Remove copyright text printed in corners or across the center of preview images that you hold valid licensing rights for.
Social Media Overlays
Remove Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter username text, follower counts, and promotional handles from repurposed screenshots.
Price Tags & Labels
Erase price labels, QR codes, barcode stickers, and promotional text from product photos for cleaner listing images.
Location & Event Text
Remove event branding, "this photo was taken at..." captions, and promotional overlays from photos and flyers.
Tips for Best Results
Paint slightly beyond the edge of the text to ensure the AI picks up the full boundary. Leave transparent areas between separate text segments when possible.
Results are cleanest when text sits on a uniform background — sky, wall, floor, or solid color. Complex backgrounds beneath the text are harder to reconstruct.
Thin fonts and small text are easier to remove than large bold text. For large text blocks, try removing in smaller sections.
Higher resolution images give the AI more context to fill the area accurately. Use at least 800×800px for best quality.
