How to edit the text of an image without Photoshop? | How do I edit text in the JPEG file in Photoshop?

Abhishek Harne -

You might have come across tutorials where they explain how to edit the text in image on photoshop. Basic editing of text in images requires a lot of steps in photoshop. The problem with text in images is, that the text cannot be edited straight away. Because essentially an image is just a bunch of pixels of colors that are perceived as an image, and the file is noneditable.


There are certain ways where you can edit the text in the image using photoshop or with a list of photo editing software, but the process of editing this text in photo editing software is complex and not really easy to understand for beginners.

Complex User Interface of Photoshop


The reason why most people use photoshop to edit the text in the picture is that it is not just simply editing the text part and entering in your desired text, but there also comes a part where the background behind the text should also match the editing part.

This matching background where the text previously was is called in-painting. The AI in photoshop detects the background color and applies the fix to give you a new surface.

But like we said earlier the process for doing just this simple task is way too long and complicated.
