Retypit vs Photoshop

Photoshop is built for full image design. Retypit is built to change the words already in a picture—and keep the font.

Retypit vs PhoText: stylized text

Same poster, same edit: MAGICIAN → ILLUSIONIST.

Most image text editors work well on plain fonts but struggle with stylized lettering. In our test on a vintage poster, PhoText swapped the headline into a generic sans-serif, left a grey smudge where the old letters were, and the new word ran off the edge. Retypit regenerated the word in the same condensed display style, with the original shadow and worn texture, and left the rest of the poster untouched.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I edit text in an image?

Upload your image, select the line you want to change, retype it, and download. For a full walkthrough, see how to edit text in an image.

How do I change the existing text in an image?

After you upload, Retypit numbers each line of text in the picture. Select one or more lines by their numbers, retype them, and click Run. It works for screenshots, posters and flyers, menus, product packaging photos, AI-generated images with typos, memes, and social media graphics.

Can I edit text in an image with the same font?

Yes. When you click Run, Retypit references the original text's font, color, and style to render your new words, so the result matches the rest of the image. Only the wording changes.

Can I replace text in an image without Photoshop?

Yes. Upload the image, click the line you want to change and type the new words. Retypit replaces the text in place, referencing the original font, color and style, and leaves everything else in the image untouched.

Can AI edit text in an image?

Yes. Retypit uses AI to find and rewrite text in pictures: upload your image, let it analyze and detect the text, select and retype the lines you want, click Run, then Download the result.

Can I fix garbled text in AI images?

Yes. AI-generated images often show broken or misspelled letters on signs and labels. Upload the image, select the garbled line, retype the correct words, and click Run. Only that text changes—you don't need to regenerate the whole scene.

Can I edit text in a PNG or JPEG online?

Yes. Open Retypit in your browser and upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP file (up to 20MB). Text detection and editing happen right on the page, with no software to install.

How do I edit text on a screenshot?

Upload the screenshot to Retypit and the AI marks every line of text in the interface. Select the typo, button label, or store name you want to fix, type the correction, and click Run. No need to rebuild the UI.

How do I edit the words in a picture?

Upload the picture, click the number on the line that contains the word, change it, click Run, and then Download your image.

Can I edit text without changing the background?

Retypit uses state-of-the-art image text editing AI that aims to change only the text you selected and leave everything else alone. Small changes elsewhere can happen on any image, but they're usually minor.

Can I get letter SVGs from a style image?

Use Image to Font. Upload a style image, type your text, and get letter SVGs in that font style. Vector paths for design tools — not font ID, not a .ttf.
