Your photo never leaves your device. Everything runs in your browser. Close the tab and it's all gone — great for private or sensitive photos.
🎯 Tips for Best Results
Paint slightly beyond the text edges
Go a little beyond the edges of the text when painting. Being too exact can leave faint outlines. Use the Eraser or right-click drag to tidy up.
Complex backgrounds — run it twice
Patterned or busy backgrounds are trickier. If something looks off, just paint over it and click Remove Text again. It gets better each time.
Shrink the brush for small text
Drag the brush slider left for a smaller, more precise brush. Painting too wide an area can leave marks on the surrounding photo.
Higher resolution = better quality
Use the original photo at full size if you can. The higher the resolution, the cleaner the result.
