What "matching the style" covers
When you change text with RetypeWords, it aims for lettering that looks like the original. That's different from using the designer's original typeface or rebuilding the layout by hand:
| What it means | What you get with RetypeWords | |
|---|---|---|
| Visual style | Letter shapes, weight, color, size and spacing that look consistent with the original | The goal of every edit. Compare the new letters with the old ones to judge how close they are |
| Original font file | The exact typeface the designer used, installed and typed with | Not identified or installed. If you need the font itself, use the source design file or a font identification tool |
| Exact typesetting | Precise kerning, line breaks and positions set in design software | Approximated. Longer or shorter wording may be resized or re-spaced to fit the original area |
You won't get a matching score; the best check is your own eye on the full image and a close view.
Get a closer match from the start
| Condition | Why it matters | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Sharp, readable lettering | Clear lettering makes the original text and its visual details easier to check | Upload the clearest, largest version you have; enlarging a blurry file doesn't add detail |
| Similar word length | Much longer or shorter wording may need different sizing or spacing | Choose wording close to the original length, or plan for a slightly different layout |
| Plain or flat lettering | Heavy decoration, outlines, 3D effects or strong perspective are harder to reproduce consistently | Start with flat text; review decorated lettering especially closely |
| Text on busy backgrounds | Letters over photos, gradients or patterns leave more surrounding detail to redraw | Check the area around the new words, not only the letters themselves |
How to change text and keep the style
- Upload and check the scan. Select the text you want to change and check that Original Text (Detected) matches what the image shows.
- Type the new words and choose ADD. Repeat for each area in the image, then choose Generate (1 credit for the whole task).
- Compare the style. Put the original and the result side by side:
- Do the letter shapes, weight and color look consistent?
- Is the size and spacing similar to the neighboring text?
- Does the background behind the new words blend with the rest?
- Did anything else in the image change?
- Download the version you prefer, signing in if prompted.

Questions about matching text style
I don't know the font name. Can I still match it? Yes. You don't need to know or upload the font. The editor works from the letters already in your image, so make sure the original text in each box matches what the image shows.
Will the new text look exactly the same as the original? It aims for a close visual match, not an exact copy. Weight, color and spacing are usually the easiest to judge by eye; compare the full image and a close view before you use it. If the type must match a brand specification exactly, edit the source design file.
Can I replace a long phrase? Yes, but wording much longer than the original has to fit into the same space, so it may be resized, re-spaced or wrapped. Similar-length wording is a useful starting point when you want to preserve the layout. Check the result rather than assuming the spacing will stay the same.
What about blurry text, decorative lettering or logos? Blurry or low-resolution text gives the editor less to work from, so start with the sharpest copy you have. For highly customized lettering — script, hand-drawn or decorative type, and logos or wordmarks — we haven't yet confirmed how well results hold up. The goal is always a similar look, not a rebuilt logo. If a logo has to keep its exact shape, use the original editable artwork.
What if the style doesn't look right? Check that the selected regions and original and replacement text match the edit you intended. If those inputs are correct, use an available retry within the same task at no extra credit cost. Attempts are limited. Changing the wording or selected areas requires a new task, whose generation uses another credit.
