Remove text from an image with AI inpainting

Paint over captions, subtitles, and date stamps to remove text from an image with AI that rebuilds the background underneath.

Step 1

Upload your photo

Three steps. About thirty seconds.

Upload, paint the erase mask, then download the result.

  1. 01

    Upload a still with unwanted type

    Works on burned-in captions and stamps. Editable text layers in design files should be removed in the editor instead.

  2. 02

    Cover glyphs and boxes

    Include underline bars and drop shadows. Leaving a shadow makes “ghost text” after the fill.

  3. 03

    Download a text-free still

    Compare against the original. For dense paragraphs, clean in two passes (upper then lower) for sharper seams.

Built for cleanup, not gimmicks

Honest limits, precise brush control, and inpainting that rebuilds the background.

    Scanner OCR noise lines mistaken for text

    Treat stray character-like marks the same way—brush them and restore paper tone for a clean scan.

The stuff people ask.

MVP requires a brush mask. Manual selection is more reliable on mixed backgrounds than blind auto-OCR erase.
