Remove text from photos and screenshots on your iPhone or iPad. Remove Text From Photo uses AI-assisted editing to erase unwanted words, captions, dates and timestamps from your images. Clean up a screenshot, remove a distracting caption from a picture, or erase a visible date stamp from a photo. Choose specific words and lines to remove, or clear all text in one step. You control what to select: • Pick individual words or lines for targeted text removal. • Review the highlighted text before processing your image. • Use Remove All Text when you want to clear the writing in a picture. • Preview the edited result before saving or sharing. To remove text from an image, choose a photo from your library, take a new picture, or open an image from Files. Select your removal option, let the app process the image, then review the result. Save it to Photos or share it with another app. Use your word eraser for everyday photo cleanup: unwanted text on signs, captions over pictures, and date or time overlays in screenshots. Revisit completed edits in History when you want to view, save or share a previous result. AI results vary depending on the image, text and background. Complex backgrounds may take longer to process.
