How do I remove text from an image?

Upload the image on this page, brush over the text and press Remove. AI fills in the background where the words were; then download a PNG or JPG.

Is PixRemove’s text remover free?

Signing up for PixRemove gives you 10 free credits, enough for 2 removals; each Remove uses 5 credits. After that, see pricing for credit packs and plans.

Can I remove several lines of text at once?

Yes. Brush over every line and press Remove once; it uses 5 credits however much text it covers.

Can I remove text from a screenshot or a plain background?

Yes. Brush over it the same way; on plain backgrounds the fill blends in especially easily.

Does removing text change the rest of my image?

No. Only the brushed area and its immediate surroundings are replaced; everything else keeps its original pixels.

What if a few letters are still visible after removing text?

Brush over what is left and press Remove again. Each extra Remove uses 5 credits.

Detail

The background is redrawn, not smudged

The area around your stroke is sent at its own size, up to 2048 px on its long side, so the fill matches the pixels around it.
Drag the slider over this crop at its original size: where the caption was, the sand and the waves carry on.
