PicText (Image Text Editor) is an AI-powered image text editor that detects and replaces existing text in photos, screenshots, JPGs, product images, and social creatives while preserving the original layout, style, and font characteristics.
What is PicText?
PicText is an AI image text editor that automates text replacement in static images. It accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10 MB, and outputs edited images where new text is blended into the original scene. The tool runs in any modern web browser with no installation required. It is developed and maintained by the PicText team (no company name is disclosed on the site).
Key Features
- Smart Text Detection – Automatically identifies all text regions using OCR (Standard mode) or AI region analysis (Pro mode), making every text block editable.
- Two Editing Modes – Standard mode enables per-block text edits with control over font, size, color, and position on simple backgrounds; Pro mode uses AI inpainting to redraw text areas on complex backgrounds, preserving gradients, curves, and decorative fonts.
- Font Matching – AI analyzes the original typestyle, weight, and kerning to produce nearly indistinguishable replacements; a dedicated same-font preset is available.
- Layout Preservation – The editing engine prioritizes spacing, alignment, perspective, and surrounding background details, keeping non-text areas intact.
- Credit-Based Pricing – Each Standard edit costs 1 credit; each Pro edit costs 2 credits. Credits are purchased in bundles (usage-based, no subscription required).
- No Source Files Needed – Edit rasterized text in flattened JPGs, PNG screenshots, or compressed web images without requiring PSDs or layered templates.
Who is it for?
- Marketing professionals – Swap headlines, CTAs, and promotional copy on social media creatives, banners, and posters for different campaigns or regions.
- Localization specialists – Translate restaurant menus, event flyers, and product labels into new languages while keeping the original design and typography intact.
- E-commerce sellers – Replace product names, prices, and labels on product photography without reshooting images.
- UI/UX designers – Update app screenshots and website mockups for different languages or A/B testing without re-creating the entire interface.
What can you do with PicText?
- Edit text in screenshots – Change copy in app UI screenshots, dashboards, and web pages while preserving pixel-perfect interface layouts.
- Localize marketing materials – Adapt social posts, ads, and banners for different markets by swapping headlines and CTAs across languages.
- Standardize product images – Replace burned-in prices, slogans, or promotional text on e-commerce product photos using Pro mode for seamless background blending.
- Restore or modify signs – Alter storefront signage, wine labels, and other physical-world text in photographs while maintaining the original charm and perspective.
How does PicText work?
The workflow consists of three steps: 1) Upload a source image (JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 10 MB). 2) Describe the text change—specify the original text, enter the new text, and optionally add style instructions. 3) Generate the edited result. The AI processes an image-to-image request and returns a revised version with the new text embedded.
Pricing
PicText operates on a usage-based credit system. Standard mode costs 1 credit per edit; Pro mode costs 2 credits per edit. No subscription is required; users buy credit bundles and spend them per edit. Specific credit pack prices are not disclosed on the site.
