Image text to editable text

Convert Image Text to Editable Text Layers

Turn words trapped inside screenshots, posters, product graphics, and AI images into editable text layers that can be rewritten and styled in Codia Studio.

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.

Text reconstruction

Move from flat pixels to editable typography

Use Codia when you need the text to remain part of the visual design, not just copied into a plain text file.

Rebuild typography

Recover editable text-like layers with size, color, spacing, alignment, and hierarchy that fit the source image.

Revise copy in context

Rewrite text while seeing how the new words fit inside the surrounding image and layout.

Continue editing in Studio

Use the reconstructed canvas for layer edits, layout changes, export, or follow-up Codia workflows.

Image text conversion beyond OCR

OCR gives you extracted words. Codia focuses on rebuilding text as editable visual layers so designers and marketers can revise the image itself.

Best use cases

Convert image text when you need to update ad copy, localize a visual, correct generated text, revise a screenshot, or reuse a design without finding the source file.
