Fix Garbled Text in AI Images

Edit Text in Photos Without Rebuilding the Design

Codia changes the words already inside your image, not a text box on top. Type the new copy and AI rewrites it in place while the rest of the image stays the same.

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.

Recognize text in 108 languages

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

Transparent PNG and WebP

Logos and stickers keep their transparent background, so the edited file drops straight back into your design.

Need more control? Open it in the full editor

For layer-by-layer edits, open the same image in the Codia Photo Editor to change fonts, colors and positions, then keep retouching with other tools.

How it works

From flat image text to editable copy

Upload the image

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

Edit the recognized words

Codia finds the text in your image automatically. Type the new words next to each line, or clear a line to remove it.

Generate and download

AI rewrites the text in the original font and style. Compare it with the original, then download the finished image.

AI image cleanup

Clean up the text mistakes AI image models leave behind

Use this page when the composition is strong but the generated text needs human-readable correction.

Correct broken letters

Replace unreadable glyphs, warped words, and misspelled labels with editable text layers.

Repair campaign visuals

Keep the generated poster or ad concept while cleaning up headlines, product names, and calls to action.

Match the original style

Preserve typography direction, hierarchy, color, and spacing so corrected words still fit the image.

Edit text in PDF files

Fix a price, a date or a name on a few pages of a PDF, then download the whole file with every other page left as it was.

Why AI images often need text cleanup

Image generation models can produce convincing layouts while failing at exact spelling and readable typography. Codia helps turn those flawed text areas into editable layers for final production edits.

When to use this workflow

Use it for AI posters, ecommerce concepts, social graphics, mock ads, generated UI shots, and concept art where the image is usable except for broken text.

FAQ

Photo & Image Text Editor FAQ

Can Codia fix unreadable text in AI-generated images?

Yes. Codia can rebuild visible text areas as editable layers so you can replace unreadable or misspelled words in Studio.

Do I need the original prompt?

No. You can upload the generated image directly. Codia works from the image file and opens the result in Studio.

Can I keep the generated image style?

Yes. The goal is to fix text while preserving the composition, visual context, and typography direction as much as possible.

Can I edit product names and labels?

Yes. Product names, labels, signs, headlines, and callouts are common text areas for this workflow.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to upload an image and see its text recognized. Sign up for free when you are ready to generate the edited image, so your credits can be tracked.

How many credits does an edit use?

An edit at 1K uses 1 credit, 2K uses 2 credits and 4K uses 3 credits, however many text blocks you change. If an edit fails, no credits are used.
