EditTextImage review: price, modes, limits and privacy

This page is built from EditTextImage's public pages, its App Store, Google Play and Chrome Web Store listings, the directory and roundup pages that mention it, and its competitors' own pages, all read on October 25, 2026. EditTextImage is our own product: it is made by the team behind GenGrades, and its edits run through apimodels.app, an AI API relay from the same team that we review separately. No independent test of EditTextImage has been published, so every number about its speed or success below is its own and is labelled that way, and its own examples are called its own.

The short answer

EditTextImage changes the words inside a finished image. You upload a poster, a screenshot, a product photo or an AI picture, say which words to change, and it redraws them in the lettering it sees, leaving the rest of the image as it was. It does five related jobs: replace text, fix garbled text in AI images, translate all the text in an image, remove text, and blur text.

It is sold as one-time credit packs, not a subscription: $14.90 for 40 credits, $26.90 for 100 or $39.90 for 180, with credits that never expire. A standard edit costs one credit, so between $0.22 and $0.37 depending on the pack. New accounts get one free credit at about 1K resolution.

Choose it when you need a word, price, date or language changed and you no longer have the design file or the font. Skip it when the image is confidential, when you need print-size output from a standard edit, when the text sits on brick, fabric or a face, or when you need a company with an address and governing law behind the service.

How an edit works

Every mode except blur starts the same way: upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 10 MB (phone HEIC photos are converted in the browser), sign in (with Google on the website), and download the result. What changes is what you tell it.

The credits come from its llms.txt and each mode's page. Its terms still say one credit is used per successful generation, which does not cover Pro's 1.5, and its pricing page lists the packs but not the cost of each mode.

The replace editor changes one text region per generation, according to several of its pages, which list editing several regions at once as planned. Fix mode is the exception: its page shows six boxes repaired on one travel poster.

What it costs in practice

The packs on its pricing page, with the per-credit price it shows:

A custom order of 1,000 credits or more is quoted by email. The Pro-edit column is our arithmetic at 1.5 credits an edit, rounded down.

Three examples, by our arithmetic from those prices:

• Fixing one typo on a poster: one credit, $0.37 at the Starter rate.
• Translating a menu into Spanish, French and German: three credits, $0.81 at the Pro rate.
• Localizing five store screenshots into five languages: 25 credits, $9.31 at the Starter rate or $5.54 at the Studio rate.

Failed generations return the credit automatically. Unused credits from a pack bought in the last 14 days are refunded in cash pro rata; after that they stay in the account but are not refunded, and deleting the account forfeits them (terms, account deletion). You can pay with PayPal or a card through Stripe on the website, or through in-app purchases in the apps. Its llms.txt says some regions see lower local prices but does not say which.

What the public evidence shows

The evidence about EditTextImage is almost all its own.

Its own examples. Each mode page shows before-and-after pairs made by the company: a poster's NORTH changed to SOUTH, a product photo's 40% OFF changed to 55% OFF, an event programme's speaker renamed, a chalkboard menu item and a grainy film title rewritten, gibberish AI posters repaired, a SALE sticker removed from a studio backdrop, and menus, banners and an infographic translated. They show what the tool is meant to do. Nobody outside the company has published a repeat of any of them.

Its own numbers. Its homepage says that of 5,669 edits started between October 7 and 14, 2026, half finished within 37 seconds, nine in ten within about two minutes, and 92% completed, with failed edits refunded. The same page reports 133,000+ users and 260,000+ images processed. Its typo page claims more than 95% success without saying how it was counted. These figures are reported by the company and nobody else has checked them.

Store listings. On October 25, 2026 the Chrome extension had one 5-star rating from 42 users, the iPhone app had no ratings since its release on August 24, 2026, and the Android app showed 100+ downloads and no rating.

Third parties. Its Product Hunt page had one upvote and no reviews. Luma's August 2026 roundup of seven tools for editing text in images ranks it second, behind Luma's own product, describes it as a quick fix for typos when the source files are missing and its weakness as doing only text replacement; the page describes no test. Directory listings repeat the company's own claims, and one, Stork.ai, links to edittextimage.net, a lookalike domain the homepage says is not affiliated. No Reddit, Hacker News or YouTube discussion of edittextimage.com turned up in search.

That leaves the most important question, how often the new words really match the old lettering, without an outside answer.

Where it falls short

EditTextImage lists its own weak spots, and they are worth reading before you buy credits. Its homepage and llms.txt name these as hard cases:

• repeating textures behind the text, such as fabric, brick and tile;
• very small text and pixel-art text;
• changing part of a word, especially in Arabic and Persian;
• images crowded with other small print;
• handwriting and heavily stylized scripts (its handwriting page calls the match "close, not perfect");
• PDFs and multi-page documents, which must be exported to images first.

Its remove-text page adds text over faces, hands or the product itself, and text covering most of the image, which may take two or three passes. Its screenshot page warns that the model can occasionally alter nearby labels.

Resolution needs care. A standard edit is, in its own words, about a 1K render delivered at 2K: an enlargement, not a 2K render. The free credit stops at 1K. Native 4K needs Pro mode at 1.5 credits and an image no narrower than 1:3 or 3:1.

Finally, its pages contradict each other. Speed is given as about 10 seconds in many boilerplate FAQs, 30 to 60 seconds in most page texts, and about 90 seconds per store screenshot, against the homepage's measured median of 37 seconds. Several feature pages and the Chrome listing quote pack sizes and prices that are no longer sold. Trust the pricing page, the terms and the homepage measurement over the rest.

EditTextImage vs Photoshop, Photopea, Canva and PhoText

EditTextImage's comparison pages are written by its makers, and two of them quote prices that are out of date, so the facts below come from each product's own page where possible.

• Photoshop. A full layered editor: you remove the old text with fill tools and retype it with the type tool, which needs the matching font. Adobe's plans page lists Photoshop at US$22.99 a month on an annual plan, or US$263.88 prepaid, and the Photography plan with Photoshop at US$19.99 a month; Generative Fill uses generative credits. Choose it when you need layers, masks, compositing or print work from source files.
• Photopea. A free, Photoshop-like editor that runs in the browser and opens PSD and most other formats (photopea.com); a Premium account removes the ads. It edits locally, which is why EditTextImage's own blog recommends it for confidential images, flat backgrounds in a font you own, text over a face, repeating textures and layout changes.
• Canva. Its Grab Text tool, a Pro feature, turns text in an uploaded image into an editable text layer that you retype and restyle; it works best on straight text. EditTextImage's Canva page says Canva cannot edit text in a non-Canva image, which Grab Text contradicts. Choose Canva when the image is going into a Canva design anyway.
• PhoText. A click-and-type editor (photext.ai): click the detected text, retype it, and adjust font, colour, size and position yourself, with a font identifier. Its basic features are free, advanced ones run on a free trial quota, and it publishes no prices. It suits flat screenshots and graphics in common fonts.

The difference is method. The other four put new text on top with a font you choose; EditTextImage redraws the lettering from the pixels. That helps on photos, curved or textured signs and AI images where retyped text looks pasted on, and it costs you control: you cannot pick the font, move the text or work in layers.

Privacy and what you may edit

Per its privacy policy, updated July 21, 2026, EditTextImage stores your uploads and results in Cloudflare R2, sends them to a third-party generative-AI provider it does not name, and deletes images and edit records about seven days after each edit. It keeps server logs for up to 90 days and payment records for at least seven years, and it states no storage region. It says it does not use your inputs or outputs to train AI models and that its provider does not keep them for training. The site uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity session replay, which it says masks text typed into the editor. You can delete your account yourself in the app, immediately, or by email within 30 days; remaining credits are lost.

The blur tool is the private option: it runs in your browser, uploads nothing and needs no account. It also says plainly that blur and pixelation stop casual readers, not determined ones, and recommends the black box for passwords, card numbers and addresses.

Its acceptable use policy rules out the edits most often used for fraud: IDs and passports, certificates, diplomas, contracts and other official documents, receipts, bank statements and payment screenshots, chat or email screenshots altered to mislead, other people's watermarks, credits or signatures, sexual content, and impersonation. Breaking it can cost you your account and your credits, and the policy says suspected crimes may be reported. It does not say how violations are detected.

Who should use it and who should skip it

Use EditTextImage if:

• you need to change a word, price, date or name in an image you own and the design file or font is gone;
• an AI image is right except for its lettering;
• you localize App Store or Google Play screenshots and want one ZIP per release instead of rebuilding each language;
• you edit text in images a few times a month and do not want a subscription.

Skip it if:

• the image is confidential: use the free blur tool, or edit locally in Photopea or Photoshop;
• you need layers, exact font control or to move the text, which an AI redraw does not give you;
• the text sits on brick, fabric, tiles, a face or most of the image;
• you need print-size output and do not want to pay 1.5 credits an edit for Pro;
• you need a provider with a named address, jurisdiction and governing law, or a long record of independent reviews.

Lookalike sites

EditTextImage's homepage says its only official site is edittextimage.com and that edittextinimage.com and edittextimage.net are not affiliated. At least one directory links the wrong one. If you buy credits, buy them on edittextimage.com or through the app and extension listings that link to it.
