Canva alternative for text editing.
Edit text in flattened graphics when the template is gone.

Canva cannot edit text once an image has been exported or flattened. EditTextInImage lets you modify words directly on JPEG or PNG files without recreating the design.

The difference between Canva and EditTextInImage for text changes

Canva is an exceptional design suite when you have the editable project. But once a graphic is exported to JPG or PNG, Canva treats it as a static picture: you can only place opaque color boxes over the words.

EditTextInImage uses generative AI to segment and remove only the letters, seamlessly restore the background texture, and render the new text in the original typography.

Why edit the text in place?

01

Fix exported assets instantly

Update client assets, ads, and flyers even when you lost access to the Canva link or template.

02

Seamless background blending

Never use clunky solid color blocks or mismatched overlay text boxes again.

03

True typography preservation

Preserves font curvature, perspective angles, drop shadows, and original lighting.

Frequently asked questions — canva alternative.

Can Canva edit text on an exported or flattened image?

No. Canva can only edit text if you have the active project file with intact text layers. Once exported to PNG or JPG, Canva can only slap new shapes or text on top of the pixels, obscuring the original artwork.

When should I use EditTextInImage instead of Canva?

Use Canva to design brand-new graphics from blank canvases or templates. Use EditTextInImage when you already have a finished image (or an image sent by a client or colleague) and simply need to update words, dates, prices, or typos in seconds.

How does the editor preserve the original font and layout?

The editor analyzes the visible typography, color, texture, lighting and perspective, then renders the replacement in context. Always compare the result before publishing.

Which image formats are supported?

Upload PNG, JPEG or WebP files up to 10 MB.

How many credits do I get at sign-up?

New accounts receive 6 sign-up credits once account verification is complete. These credits are valid for 30 days and are separate from the daily allowance.

Do I get free credits every day?

Yes. You can receive 6 free credits each day, in addition to your sign-up credits. The daily allowance is added when you use it after browser verification.

When do daily credits reset?

At 00:00 UTC. The navbar and editor show a reset countdown. Unused daily credits expire at the reset and do not accumulate. Separately purchased credits never expire.

How many credits does an edit cost?

One standard 1K edit costs 6 credits. This means the daily allowance covers one 1K edit. The exact credit cost is shown before submission.

Why is browser verification needed?

A quick browser check protects the daily free allowance. It starts when you choose to use free credits and may ask you to complete a challenge. Your image and edits stay in place if you cancel or retry.

What happens if an edit fails?

Eligible failed edits return the deducted credits with their original expiry. Daily credits refunded after their UTC reset stay expired. Purchased credits keep their validity.

Can I use the result commercially?

Yes, provided you own the source image or have permission to edit and use it.
