How Do I Remove Text From an Image in Photoshop?

Last updated on April 4, 2023 @ 4:33 pm

There are a few different ways to remove text from an image in Photoshop. Listed below are the tools that you can use to do so.

1. Clone Stamp Tool

One way is to use the Clone Stamp tool. With the Clone Stamp tool selected, hover your mouse over the area that you want to clone then press “Alt+’left-click'” on your keyboard. Then, click and drag your mouse over the text that you want to remove.

The text will then be removed from the image and replaced with whatever you cloned under the Clone Stamp tool when you clicked.

2. Eraser Tool

Another way to remove text from an image is by using the Eraser tool. With the Eraser tool selected, hover your mouse over the text you want to remove.

Then, click and drag your mouse over the text. The text will then be removed from the image.

3. Healing Brush Tool

You can also use the Healing Brush tool to remove text from an image. With the Healing Brush tool selected, hover your mouse over the area of the image where you want to remove the text.

From there, click and drag on the text to remove it. The Healing Brush tool will then remove the text and replace it with surrounding pixels from the image.

4. Type Tool

If you want to keep some of the text in an image but want to change its color or font, you can use Photoshop’s “Type Tool” which looks like a “T” icon from the toolbar. With the Type Tool selected, click on the area of the image where you want to add text, then type in whatever text you want to add.

You can change the color of the text by going to the Character section under the Properties tab in the right panel. You can also change the font of the text by clicking the drop-down arrow beside the font style section and selecting a different font from the drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to remove text from an image in Photoshop, be aware that this can be a difficult and time-consuming process. There are a few different methods that you can try, but none of them are guaranteed to work perfectly. You may end up with some residual text or artifacts in your image, so be prepared to spend some time editing it afterward.

How Do I Remove Text From an Image in Photoshop?

As discussed above, there are four tools that you can use to remove text from an image in Photoshop. Let’s give a more thorough description of each of these tools.

One method is by using something called ‘Clone Stamp Tool’ – with this selected, you need to then hover your mouse cursor over the top of the area within the said image that has text which needs removing; after this is done, simply click and drag said mouse cursor over the top of the targeted text itself – once this is completed successfully, the targeted text will have been removed from whichever location it was originally found within said image file; what will be left behind is whatever was beneath the Clone Stamp Tool when first clicked on by yourself earlier on during this process.

Another way that you can go about removing text from images located within Photoshop is through making use of ‘Eraser Tool’ – once again having this selected as opposed to any other available option within Photoshop; once more hover your mouse cursor over the top of any given area that contains the targeted text which needs removing; once more click and drag your mouse cursor over the top of this targeted text until it has all been successfully removed from wherever it was originally found within said image file; what will be left behind will be any solid colors or patterns that were found beneath The Eraser Tool when first clicked on by yourself earlier on during this process – any transparent areas found however will remain as transparent areas even after having used the Eraser Tool upon them just now earlier on during this general process, too.

You might also find that going about trying to remove targeted text via the ‘Healing Brush Tool’ proves successful for yourself as well – select this option as opposed to any others which might be available within Photoshop right now before proceeding any further with this particular process; much like what was done earlier on during both the Clone Stamp Tool method and the Eraser Tool method described above – once again hover your mouse cursor over the top of any given area that contains the targeted text which needs removing; once more click and drag your mouse cursor over the top of this targeted text until such time that it has all been successfully removed from wherever it was originally found within said image file; what will be left behind is whatever was beneath the Healing Brush Tool when first clicked upon by yourself earlier on during this process – with the added bonus of filling in the now empty space that has just been vacated by the movement of any targeted text being removed from an image located within Photoshop via this particular method as well!

If none of these methods happen to work out too well for you or if none of them seem like they would end up being all too successful for whichever project it is that you are working on right now inside of Photoshop – then do not worry or stress out too much about it! Instead, try making use of the ‘Type Tool’ which should still be available for selection somewhere near most other tools located inside of Photoshop right now!

Simply select this option before proceeding onto anything else related to this process. With the Type Tool selected, click on the area of the image where you want to add text, then type in whatever text you want to add. You can change the color of the text by going to the Character section under the Properties tab in the right panel. You can also change the font of the text by clicking the drop-down arrow beside the font style section and selecting a different font from the drop-down menu.

Conclusion:

To remove text from an image in Photoshop, you can use either the Clone Stamp tool, the Eraser tool, or
the Healing Brush tool. On the other hand, if you want to keep some of the text in an image but change its color or font, you can use Photoshop’s Type Tool.
