How to Remove Text from Image in Adobe Photoshop – Step-by-step Guide

Adobe Photoshop is a fully-fledged image editing software that comes with a wide range of tools and techniques. Although it has a steeper learning curve than online photo editors, the final results are definitely more fruitful with Photoshop!

Follow these steps in Adobe Photoshop to remove text from a picture −

Load the Image in Adobe Photoshop

First, you’ll have to open the image in Photoshop.

From the toolbar above, click on File>Open. A dialog box will pop up from where you can browse and select the image you want to edit.

Use the Marquee Tool/Lasso Tool to Select the Unwanted Text

Once the image is loaded in Photoshop, select the Marquee Tool located in the toolbar on the left of your screen. With the Marquee Tool selected, drag a box around the unwanted text.

Or, you can use the Lasso Tool for more precise results. After selecting the Lasso Tool, you’ll have to draw a path intricately around the text that you want to remove.

Note that it is easier to make a selection with the Marquee Tool, but the Lasso Tool provides you with better control when selecting an area.

Apply the ‘Content-Aware Fill’ in the Selected Area

When you’re done selecting the unwanted text, click on Edit> Fill from the toolbar above. A dialog box will show up, where you’ll have to click on Content-Aware under the ‘USE’ sub-menu. Next, click OK.

Now sit back and relax as Photoshop analyzes the pixels surrounding the selected area and fills it up with content that matches the background. Easy, isn’t it?

Refine the Image (Optional)

After the ‘Content-Aware Fill’ is completed, the image may require touch-ups in the area where the text was removed. Use the Clone Stamp Tool or Healing Brush Tool to work on areas that may distract consumers. 

Refine the Image

As a rule of thumb, we want the image to appear as natural as possible.

Save the Photo

Once you’re done with removing the text and other edits, you can save the image.

Save and Share

For this, click on File>Save As. From the dialog box that shows up, you can choose a storage location and name for your image to save it.

Final

By following the steps above, you can remove text from pictures and make it appear as if it was never there! On the other hand, you can also remove an unwanted object from an image with the same steps.

How to Remove and Add Text in Image Online?

Although removing or adding text in an image may seem challenging, it is fairly simple and can be done easily online. 

There are plenty of online image editors that you can choose from, such as Pixlr, Fotor, Canva, and PicsArt. For this article, we’ll be working with PicsArt.

Here’s how you can remove and add text from a picture using PicsArt online – 

1. Upload the Image

First, go to the PicsArt website and click on ‘Get started for free.’ Next, you’ll have to upload the image you want to edit by using the ‘Upload Image’ option.

2. Use the Eraser Tool to Remove the Text

Click on the ‘Tools’ tab at the bottom of the screen. From there, select the ‘Eraser’ tool and adjust the brush size appropriately. With the Eraser tool selected, carefully remove the text. If you accidentally remove too much, you can use the ‘Undo’ option.

3. Add Text

To add text to your image, click on the ‘Text’ tab from the bottom of the screen. Next, select the type of text you want, e.g., header, sub-header, or body text.

Choose a suitable font, color, and size for the text. Lastly, type in the text you want to include. Once the text is added, you can adjust the position and size of the text with the ‘Move’ and ‘Resize’ tools, respectively.

4. Save the Image

After you’re done working on the image, click on the ‘Save’ option at the top of the screen. You can save the image directly to your computer or share it straight to social media from PicsArt.
