# Edit text in image without the design file

Upload the image, tap the line you want to change, type the new words.

Tool: https://onlythewords.com/

You have a finished image and no design file. Upload the JPG, PNG or WebP and the tool reads every line of text on it, then outlines each line so you can tap the one you want. Type what it should say instead, and it redraws that line in place with the same font, size, colour and lighting.

The rest of the picture is left alone: only the lines you replace are redrawn and put back, so every other pixel stays as it was and the download keeps the original size. One edit takes about 40 seconds, and up to 8 lines can be changed in a single pass.

## Jobs it is used for

- **Posters with a new date** — The venue moved or the date changed and the poster is already out. Retype that line and keep the layout you designed.
- **Product photos in another language** — Change the offer text or swap the language on a product shot without reshooting it.
- **App store screenshots** — Localise the headline on each screenshot for a new market, one line at a time.
- **AI images with garbled text** — Generated pictures often come back with lettering that reads as nonsense. Tap each line and type what it should have said.

## How it works

1. **Upload your image** Drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP; the text on it is read in a few seconds.
2. **Tap the line to change** Every line is outlined, so pick the one you want and type the new words.
3. **Check the read-back** The new text is read from the result and compared with what you typed; a wrong letter is redone once automatically.
4. **Download the PNG** Only the changed lines are redrawn, and the file keeps the original size.

## Limits

- Very small or heavily stylised lettering is the hardest to match, and small differences in letter shapes can happen because the redraw is AI-made.
- Translating a whole image redraws all of it, so the rest of the picture is not pixel-identical to the original.
- It will not touch identity documents, financial records, receipts, certificates, tickets or screenshots of chats and social posts, and it does not remove watermarks.

## What it will not edit

- Identity documents: passports, ID cards, driving licences, visas, residence permits
- Financial records: bank statements, payslips, cheques, tax forms, balance screenshots
- Receipts and invoices: till receipts, invoices, order confirmations, proof of payment
- Certificates and official papers: diplomas, licences, medical notes, prescriptions, tickets, boarding passes, letters from authorities
- Chats and social posts: message threads, emails, posts and comments shown as screenshots
- Watermarks, signatures and copyright notices are left in place.

## Pricing

- Free: 2 edits a day, no account. Your image keeps its size; the new text is drawn at standard detail.
- Credits (paid once, never expire): 20 edits for $4.90 or 60 edits for $9.90. One credit is one edit with the new text drawn at 2K and two free redos.
- Monthly plans: 100 edits a month for $9.90 or 300 edits a month for $24.90. Every image you edit and each version of it is saved to your account, so you can open it on any device and change a line without uploading again. Cancel any time.

## Questions

**Does it keep the same font?**

Yes. The line is redrawn in place using the font, size, colour and lighting already on the image, so it sits in the original layout. Letter shapes can differ slightly because the redraw is AI-made.

**Does the rest of my image change?**

No. When you replace or remove lines, only those lines are redrawn and put back into your original image, so every other pixel stays exactly as it was. The download keeps the original size as a PNG.

**Is it free, and what do credits and the monthly plan cost?**

Free gives you 2 edits a day with no account, drawn at standard detail. Credit packs are paid once: 20 edits for $4.90 or 60 for $9.90, where one credit is one edit at 2K with two free redos, and credits do not expire. Monthly plans are 100 edits for $9.90 or 300 for $24.90, cancel any time.

**Do I need an account?**

No. You can edit and download without signing in. An account is only needed for a monthly plan or to use your credits on more than one device, and you sign in with a link sent to your email, no password.

**How do I pick the text to change?**

After upload, every line of text on the image is outlined. Tap the line you want, type the replacement, and repeat for up to 8 lines in one edit.

**How do I know the new text is spelled right?**

The tool reads the new text back from the finished result and compares it with what you typed. If a letter is wrong, the edit is redone once automatically.

**What will it not edit, and why?**

It will not edit identity documents, financial records, receipts, certificates, tickets or screenshots of chats and social posts, and it does not remove watermarks. These are left out because changing them can mislead people about what a record actually says.

**What happens to my image and where is it kept?**

Uploaded images are deleted from our servers within an hour unless you save them with a monthly plan. Saved images stay until you delete them, and the edited file stays downloadable for 7 days. Without an account, recent images are remembered in your own browser only.

**Can I fix text in AI-generated images?**

Yes, that is one of the common jobs. Generated pictures often come back with lettering that reads as nonsense, and you can tap each line and type what it should say.
