The font is only part of the match
Even a similar typeface can look wrong if its size, spacing or line breaks differ. Outlines, worn edges and soft shadows make vintage and artistic lettering especially time-consuming to rebuild.

More than covering the old words
Why changing existing text is hard
In a finished image, letters are pixels alongside the artwork. There may be no text layer to select and no font file to open.
Words have to fit the surface
A title on a flat poster differs from lettering on angled packaging. Perspective, lighting and the available space affect how replacement words sit in the design.
The background needs attention too
Shorter words may uncover areas hidden by the old text. Longer words may crowd nearby artwork. Simply placing a rectangle over a headline loses the texture and details underneath.
How TypeRefit approaches the replacement
Enter the original text and its replacement. TypeRefit uses the image as a reference for a generative edit, aiming to make the new words fit the surrounding visual style without requiring you to recreate the lettering by hand.
Choose one clear change at a time. If the same words appear more than once, only the most prominent matching text is edited. Similar-length wording can leave more room for the original layout; a much longer replacement may need different spacing or placement.
A focused change

Creative changes with a clear purpose
Where a wording change can help
Posters and event graphics
Adapt a seasonal headline or update an event title in a design you have permission to edit. Check small supporting text separately before sharing.
Menus and product marketing
Change a dish name in a menu graphic or try a new product headline. Packaging mockups can help explore wording before you prepare the final production artwork.
Social graphics and game artwork
Revise a promotional creative or correct a title in game artwork without starting the composition again. Review decorative letters at full size.

What TypeRefit tries to preserve
The existing image guides the edit. TypeRefit tries to preserve these elements as closely as possible:
- Font appearance, text color and spacing
- Shadows, outlines and decorative details
- Perspective and lighting
- Surrounding background and texture
- Overall composition and original image framing
Preservation is an aim, not a guarantee. Generative edits can introduce subtle differences, and output dimensions may adjust to a supported aspect ratio. Keep your original and review both the lettering and the rest of the image.
Limitations and safe use
Clear, readable lettering is a better reference than tiny, blurred or heavily distorted text. Complex artwork and major changes in word length can make matching harder. A delivered image may still need your judgment before it is suitable to publish.
Use only images you own or are authorized to edit. Identity documents, financial records, official certificates, medical documents and deceptive evidence are not supported. Do not create fake conversations or misleading screenshots. Read the Acceptable Use Policy for the full boundary.
One Credit is consumed only after successful delivery. Technical failures and safety blocks do not consume a Credit. Review the Refund Policy and Privacy Policy before uploading.
Questions about changing existing words
Before you change the text
Can I change text in an image without knowing the font?
Yes. TypeRefit uses the visible lettering as a reference, so you do not need to identify or install the original font. It tries to recreate the font appearance; it does not guarantee exact font reconstruction.
Will the rest of my image stay unchanged?
TypeRefit tries to preserve the surrounding design as closely as possible, but generative editing can introduce small changes. Review the lettering, background and framing before publishing. Output dimensions may adjust to a supported aspect ratio.
What image formats are supported?
Upload PNG, JPG/JPEG or WebP, up to 10 MiB (10,485,760 bytes) and 80,000,000 pixels. The result is a PNG downloaded as output.png. Images expire after 24 hours, so download the result you want to keep.
Can I change text in posters or marketing images?
Yes, for legitimate creative assets you own or have permission to edit. Posters, event graphics, menus and product marketing images are suitable examples. Clear, readable text gives the system a more useful visual reference.
Can I edit IDs, bank statements, receipts or medical documents?
No. Identity documents, bank statements, financial transaction evidence, deceptive receipts, official certificates and medical documents are not supported. Fake chats, fake emails and misleading screenshots are also prohibited. Use TypeRefit for legitimate creative work.
Does a failed edit use a Credit?
One Credit is consumed only when a successful edit is delivered. Technical failures and safety-blocked edits do not consume a Credit; any reserved Credit is released. A delivered result that you dislike is not automatically treated as a technical failure. See the Refund Policy for refund terms.
