Overview
Image text removal is the craft of deleting visible words, watermarks, or labels from a photo or graphic while leaving no trace. Done well, viewers never notice a fix; done poorly, halos, smears, and repeats give it away.
This guide shows when to use AI inpainting vs manual retouching, how to protect texture and lighting, and how to build a fast, non-destructive workflow you can repeat at scale.
Use it for product shots, marketing visuals, UI screenshots, and archival cleanup—always within legal and ethical boundaries.
