Edit text on photo

Edit Text on Photos Without Manual Retouching

Upload a photo with labels, signs, packaging copy, or overlaid text. Codia reconstructs the text as editable layers so you can revise it in context.

Key advantage

Edit Text in Photos Without Rebuilding the Design

Codia is a free online photo text editor for changing words already embedded in a visual—not simply adding new text on top. This image text editor rebuilds existing copy as editable text layers so you can rewrite it while preserving the surrounding image and layout.

Key advantage

Image and text separated like the original design

Text, images, shapes, and layout are rebuilt as separate elements, so the result feels like opening the original design file instead of editing one flat bitmap.

Key advantage

1:1 text style reconstruction

Codia preserves typography details such as font weight, size, alignment, color, spacing, and hierarchy so edited text still matches the source image.

Key advantage

Recognize text in 108 languages

Work with global image content. Codia recognizes multilingual text across AI images, screenshots, posters, product visuals, and marketing assets.

Key advantage

Flexible canvas editing and export

After conversion, continue editing on the Codia Studio canvas. Move layers, refine text, adjust layout, and export the result for your next workflow.

How it works

From flat image text to editable copy

1

Upload the image

Start with a photo, screenshot, poster, product visual, social creative, or AI-generated image.

2

AI finds the text and style

Codia identifies the original words, typography, shapes, and layout, then rebuilds them as editable layers in Studio.

3

Edit and export

Replace words, refine typography and layout, then export the finished design or continue editing in Studio.

Photo text editing

Revise visible text while preserving the photo

Use this workflow when the photo is useful but a label, caption, sign, or product copy needs a controlled update.

Update product labels

Revise packaging text, callouts, badges, and ecommerce photo labels while keeping the product visual intact.

Edit signs and captions

Change visible sign text, social captions, and announcement copy inside existing photo compositions.

Prepare campaign photos

Adapt photo-based graphics for launches, offers, localization, and social variations.

Photo text editing for real assets

Codia is useful when a photo has already been selected, staged, or generated, but the words inside it need correction or adaptation.

Keep editing after text reconstruction

Once the photo opens in Studio, you can continue with layer edits, background cleanup, upscaling, remixing, or export.
