Overview
Text removal spans multiple formats—raster images, vectors, PDFs, and video. The right approach depends on how the text is embedded, the background complexity, and whether you must preserve legal compliance. This guide outlines robust workflows from classic healing and clone tools to AI inpainting and motion tracking, with a focus on realism and repeatability.
For raster images, aim to rebuild backgrounds rather than blur artifacts. For vectors and PDFs, edit or redact objects at the source. For videos, track the region across frames and inpaint with a clean plate. Throughout, use non-destructive layers, precise masks, and consistent grain and color to avoid telltale edits.
