Will the background behind text look natural?

Results depend on the surrounding detail. Include every letter in the mask and leave nearby unmasked texture for the AI to reference.

How do I select text for removal?

Select it manually with Rectangle, Lasso or Brush. Cover every visible character and use Eraser to protect nearby details.

Can I remove dates, captions and timestamps?

Yes, when you own or may edit the image. Results are strongest when the surrounding background provides enough texture to reconstruct the covered area.

Choose the right selection tool

Text selection is manual, which lets you decide exactly which caption, date stamp or annotation should be removed.

Rectangle for text lines

Cover horizontal captions, labels and date stamps quickly while keeping the selection close to the characters.

Lasso for angled lettering

Trace curved baselines, perspective text and irregular groups without selecting an oversized block.

Brush and Eraser for small type

Paint individual characters and punctuation, then subtract any nearby subject detail selected by mistake.

Tips for a natural result

01Cover the full strokes and outlines of each character, but avoid masking a much larger area than necessary.

02Process distant text groups separately when they sit on different backgrounds or use very different sizes.

03Inspect straight edges and repeating patterns at high zoom; continue editing only the remaining artifact when needed.
