AI text remover
Removing text from an image means erasing the words and filling the space with what would have been behind them — the paper, the sky, the packaging — so the picture looks as if the text was never there. Imagelier finds every line of text automatically; you pick the lines to erase, and AI rebuilds the background in seconds.
The label above had all three lines removed — a blank mockup you can reuse for any product name. Here only “SAT JULY 12 · 8 PM” is removed so the poster is ready for the next date. Both are real Imagelier outputs, not mockups; only text is erased, so the divider on the label and the artwork on the poster stay exactly as they were.
Drop it in the box above or on the homepage. You sign in once with Google or email; new accounts get 2 free edits.
Every detected line is outlined. Click one and clear its text box — an empty box means “remove this line”.
Clear as many lines as you like; up to 50 lines applied together count as a single edit.
The words are erased, the background is rebuilt, and you can compare with the original before downloading.
Usually the next step
Skip the blank step. In the same editor, type the new words instead of clearing the box: Imagelier erases the old text, rebuilds the background and sets your text at the original size, weight and color in one go — a new date on a poster, a new price on a menu, a translated label.
How it works: text detection (OCR) outlines each line; the selected outlines become a mask, slightly enlarged to catch anti-aliased edges; an inpainting model (LaMa) fills the mask from the surrounding pixels. Everything outside the mask keeps its original pixels.
| Tool | How you remove text | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Imagelier | Detects the text, you click the lines to erase, AI fills the background. Can replace the text in the same step. | Menus, posters, labels and screenshots where only the words should change. |
| Photoshop | Select the text by hand, then Content-Aware Fill or Generative Fill. | Detailed retouching when you already have Photoshop. |
| Phone photo apps | Object erasers (Magic Eraser and similar): brush over the text, the app fills it in. | Quick fixes on photos already on your phone. |
The main difference is selection: with a brush you trace every letter yourself; text detection selects whole lines in one click.
New accounts get 2 free edits (720p with a small watermark). Pro is $9 a month for 100 edits at original resolution without a watermark, and a one-time pack of 3 HD edits is $2.90. See pricing.
Clear every line you want gone, then apply them together. Up to 50 lines in one apply count as one edit, so removing all the text from a busy menu costs the same as one line.
No. It is built for text in images you own or are allowed to edit, and it is not designed to remove watermarks or other people’s branding — doing so can infringe copyright. See what Imagelier won’t do.
On plain and repeating backgrounds, usually indistinguishable from the original. Where the text covered detailed objects, the filled area can look soft. You can compare before and after, and change your selection, before downloading.
Removing text needs an AI model, so the image is processed on our servers. Images from free accounts are deleted after 24 hours; Pro edits are kept for up to 30 days so you can return to recent work. Details in the privacy policy. The free browser tools on this site, by contrast, never upload anything.
Each removal runs text detection and an AI model, which cost money per image. Signing in lets us give every new account its free edits and keep the service free of abuse.
