How do you edit text in a photo?
Upload the photograph, select the words and enter the replacement. Add it to the task and generate a new version. RetypeWords uses the lettering and photographed surface as a reference for the edit.
A shop sign, package label or menu is a useful starting point. Choose a clear photo taken roughly straight on, and keep the new wording close to the available space.
This is assisted editing: compare the lettering, light and texture, then choose the result you want to use. Strong reflections and curved surfaces need a closer look. A text edit does not promise that all surrounding details remain unchanged.

Changing the wording on a photographed sign or label
Three steps. Nothing to install, no source file needed.
- 1
Upload the photo
Drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP straight from a camera or phone. A scan finds the readable words and boxes each one. Words that are too small, too blurred or too low-contrast may not be found — you can draw a box around them yourself.
- 2
Retype the words
Select the photographed words and enter your replacement. Add the change and choose Generate · 1 credit. Wording close to the original length helps it fit the sign or label.

Choose a clear photo to start
Readable printed lettering and even light provide a useful reference for the new words.
Good starting points
- Printed signage shot roughly straight on, in even light
- Product labels, packaging and menu boards with machine-printed type
- Shopfront signs where the lettering is flat against the wall or board
- Photos where the words are large enough to read comfortably at 100%
Tips for detailed images
- Hand-painted or weathered signage, and any handwriting
- Letters wrapped around a curve, a bottle, or a strongly angled surface
- Words in deep shadow, blown-out highlights, or heavy motion blur
- Neon, embossed, engraved and other lettering defined by depth rather than ink
- Very small or blurred letters whose shapes are difficult to distinguish, even at a readable zoom
The clearest original photo gives you the best reference for comparing the new words.
