Learn how to edit or delete text in images using Adobe Firefly while keeping the original look.
The Edit text feature scans your image and makes the text in it editable, keeping changes to the rest of the composition to a minimum. You can edit or delete text one line at a time. When you edit, the new text matches the original font and style as closely as possible.
Before you begin
Ensure that your image contains clear, horizontal text with Latin characters.
Edit text in images
Do one of the following:
- Select Upload, and then select the image from your computer.
- Select Adobe cloud storage, and then select the image from Your files, Shared with you, or Generation history.
Select Edit text from the tool menu on the left. Edit text will automatically scan the image for text. When the scanning completes, a bounding box with a dotted line appears around each line of text that Edit text detects.
Click into the bounding box that you want to edit or delete, and then edit or delete the text. You can modify only one line of text at a time.
Note
- The edited text aligns centrally within its bounding box. But you can't reposition or realign the bounding box.
- For best results, keep the replacement text similar in length to the original.
- Results may vary based on the image and text style.
To undo the changes, press Command + Z (macOS) or Ctrl + Z (Windows).
If your Creative Cloud plan offers two image models in the action bar, Firefly Image 5 and Flux.1 Kontext [pro], select one.
Select Apply in the action bar to commit the edits you made. The chosen model will generate a new image with the edits. An animated overlay appears on the canvas, indicating the progress.
After the generation completes, select another line of text in the image and repeat the process, if necessary.
To download the new image, select Download in the upper-right corner of the screen.
If you don't download the new image, you'll lose the edits, as it isn't added to File > Generation history on the Firefly home page.
Current limitations
The current limitations of Edit text are:
- It doesn't support non-Latin scripts and emojis.
- It may not identify skewed, rotated, heavily stylized text, such as 3D text, and multiple overlapping characters.
