Purpose and workflow
The text cleanup page focuses on captions, timestamps, draft labels, and annotations in images you own. It is not designed to falsify documents or remove attribution from third-party work.
Brush close to the characters
Cover the full strokes while keeping the mask as tight as practical.
Repair one region at a time
For multiple lines, smaller separate passes can preserve more of the original background.
Appropriate examples
Camera date stamp
Clean a date burned into your own family or travel photo.
Draft campaign caption
Remove an outdated caption from a source graphic your team controls before replacing it.
Limits to expect
- Text over faces or intricate product details may not reconstruct cleanly.
- Do not use the tool to alter official documents or misrepresent image origin.
- Very large text blocks often need several controlled passes.

FAQ
Answers about privacy, cleanup modes, and allowed use.
Can it remove a date stamp?
Yes, especially when the stamp is small and sits on a simple background. Results vary where the stamp crosses detailed subjects.
Will the original letters remain readable?
The selected area is reconstructed, not blurred. A successful repair replaces the letters with surrounding visual context.
Can I remove text from a scanned document?
Use it only when you are authorized to alter the scan. It is not intended for changing records, evidence, or ownership information.
Should I mask each line separately?
Usually yes. Smaller masks give the repair process more nearby context and reduce unintended changes.
