An image text remover for the words you choose

To remove text from an image, upload a JPG, PNG or WebP and highlight the words to erase. Brush over the unwanted words, including any outline or shadow, then select Remove selected text. ImgUnmark repairs that area and preserves the unselected pixels and dimensions of the image you edit. Compare the result before downloading PNG. Your first Google sign-in includes one credit; each new repair uses one credit. Review fine detail where the words used to be.

Remove one label. Keep the useful text.

Use this image text remover to select an old offer or review label while leaving the product name or report heading outside the selection. Brush, Rectangle and Lasso let you choose the repair area; Eraser helps keep wanted letters clear.

Erase words without trimming the picture

Remove words from a picture with text selection and keep the dimensions of the image you edit. A date stamp can go while the boat, horizon and full photo frame stay outside the selection, ready for your travel album.

Check the part you plan to reuse

After you remove captions from images, compare the filled background with the original. Look at color transitions, bubble outlines or small printed letters. Download a separate PNG when the result is suitable; comparing the current result uses no additional credits.

How to remove text from an image

Use the image text remover to select unwanted words, inspect the repaired area and save a separate PNG.

  1. Upload the picture with unwanted text

    Sign in with Google, then choose, drop or paste a JPG, PNG or WebP into the image text remover. Check that the caption or label is readable in the preview. Your first sign-in includes one free credit.

  2. Select the words to erase

    Choose the text type for guidance, then highlight the words with Brush, Rectangle or Lasso. Include every letter and outline; keep wanted text outside the highlight. Use Eraser or Undo to refine the selection, then click Remove selected text.

  3. Review the repair and save PNG

    Compare the original and repaired picture after removing the text. Inspect where the old words crossed a background, a border or other lettering. Download your PNG when it is ready for reuse; a further repair uses another credit.

Six tasks for the dedicated image text remover

Choose the words that no longer belong in your image. These generated inputs show six text-removal tasks, with actual local repair results and specific details to keep.

Online store owners

Clear an expired offer from a product photo

The campaign is over, but the saved catalog image still says SALE 30% OFF. Select the offer with the image text remover while leaving the bottle and HAND WASH label unselected. This dedicated local repair clears the promotional words; inspect the filled backdrop before reusing the picture in an evergreen listing. Try this product offer.

Keep: Bottle and HAND WASH label. Use for: Evergreen product listing.

Travel photos

Erase an old date and keep the full photo

A saved travel photo has a date over the sky. Use the image text remover to select the digits instead of cropping away the open space above the boat. Inspect the filled sky, then reuse the full-frame picture in an album or travel layout. Try this photo date.

Keep: Sailboat, coastline and horizon. Use for: Travel album or full-frame layout.

Reports and presentations

Remove a draft label while keeping the report text

Keep: Report heading, date and project rows. Use for: Presentation-ready report image.

Social media creators

Turn a captioned post into a reusable picture

A Monday joke dates an otherwise useful pet image. Erase the caption from the photo by selecting MONDAY AGAIN? and leaving the dog and its outline untouched. Review the mint backdrop before using the picture in a new post; add replacement wording in your design editor. Try this social caption.

Keep: Dog, fur and silhouette. Use for: New social post or meme template.

Comic lettering

Clear comic dialogue and keep the speech balloon

A flattened comic panel needs an empty balloon for new lettering. Highlight WE MADE IT! inside the bubble, leaving its outline, tail and characters outside the selection. The dedicated local text repair clears the words on this white background. Inspect the fill before relettering the panel in a separate editor. Try this comic dialogue.

Keep: Speech balloon outline, tail and characters. Use for: Text-free panel for relettering.

Teachers and tutors

Erase a written answer and reuse the exercise

A worksheet image already contains the answer 12. Use the text selection tools to remove the handwritten text from the image while leaving 8 + 4 = and the printed instructions outside the selection. Check the equation before using the PNG in another practice activity; this is image cleanup, not PDF editing. Try this written answer.

Keep: Printed equations, title and instructions. Use for: Reusable practice activity.

Try text removal with 1 free credit on your first Google sign-in. Each new repair uses 1 credit. Prices are in USD. Credit-pack purchases are currently unavailable in this local preview; existing credits can still be used.

Where text removal needs a closer look

A careful selection protects the rest of the image. The area underneath the letters still needs to be reconstructed.

Fine detail and overlapping letters

Text over a face, small print, a product edge or a repeating pattern may leave reconstructed detail that differs from the hidden scene. Inspect it before reuse.

Large blocks of text

Keep the selection close to the unwanted text. Large blocks need more background reconstruction; splitting work into repairs also uses additional credits.

Permission to edit

Use images you own or have permission to edit. Removing a label does not provide a license or verify that an image or document is authentic.

Questions about removing text from images

What stays unchanged, how selection works, and what to check before saving.

How do I remove text from an image?+

Upload your image and use the text selection tools to mark the words you want gone. Include the letters’ border and shadow, then click Remove selected text. Compare the original and result before downloading PNG.

Can I remove one caption and keep other text?+

Yes. Select only the unwanted caption in this image text remover. Pixels outside the highlight stay unchanged in the image you edit. Use Eraser to keep wanted letters outside the selection. If unwanted and wanted text overlap, the hidden detail needs reconstruction and may not be accurate.

Will it detect every word automatically?+

This tool uses your selection rather than automatically detecting every word. Choose a text type for helpful guidance, then highlight only the letters you want erased. Wanted words stay outside the selection. For general automatic watermark cleanup, use the homepage tool.

Can it remove words without changing the background?+

This text remover keeps unselected pixels unchanged. The background inside the selection must be filled in. Plain colors and smooth gradients can use local repair; textured areas may need AI reconstruction. Inspect the filled area because the original hidden pixels cannot be recovered exactly.

Will the downloaded image keep its dimensions?+

Yes. This text remover keeps the pixel dimensions of the image you edit and preserves pixels outside the selection. The browser preview may be smaller for display; the downloaded result is a separate PNG.

Is there a free way to try it?+

Your first Google sign-in includes one welcome credit. Each new repair uses one credit. Viewing, comparing and downloading an existing result use no additional credits. Confirmed failed repairs return the credit; check an uncertain task before submitting another.

Can I replace the text, extract it or edit a PDF?+

This tool removes selected image pixels. It does not add replacement words, match fonts, extract text with OCR or edit original PDF and Word files. Export a page as an image for image-only cleanup; the output here is PNG.

Can I remove comic dialogue or handwriting?+

You can select dialogue or handwriting as image pixels. The comic example clears words inside a white balloon while retaining the outline and characters. The worksheet example removes a written answer while retaining the printed exercise. Review your own result; this tool does not translate comics, create replacement lettering or edit a source document.

What should I do if some letters remain?+

Compare the result at a readable zoom. Refine the selection around any remaining outline, or choose Use original image to return to the uploaded picture. Each new repair uses one credit, so inspect the current result before processing again.

Are my images uploaded or automatically deleted?+

AI-assisted repairs send image content to a processing service. ImgUnmark keeps originals, selection masks and results in private storage without automatic expiry. Read the Privacy Policy before uploading sensitive content.
