Remove text from an image online

You don't need Photoshop or an app install to get rid of unwanted text. Qutu Web runs in your browser — upload an image, pick the words, and the AI erases them and repairs what was underneath.

How it works

Qutu Web home screen with the "Upload image to edit text" button

  1. Go to Qutu Web and sign in with your email.
  2. Click Upload image to edit text and choose a JPG, PNG or WEBP file.
  3. Qutu detects every block of text and lists it on the right. Click the one you want gone.
  4. Click Erase (or clear the Replace with box). The row changes to Will be erased.
  5. Click Generate image. When it’s done, hold the image to see the original, then download.

Erase or replace — same tool

Removal and replacement live in one editor. Leave the box empty to erase, or type new words and Qutu redraws them in the original font, size and color. You can mix both in a single image — erase a caption, fix a typo and update a price in one run.

What it’s good at

  • Captions and labels on your own images and mockups
  • Date stamps on old photos
  • Notes and handwriting on a page you want to share clean
  • Prices and promo text on your own product photos

When to use the iPhone app instead

If the photo is already on your phone, the Qutu iPhone app saves a step — edit and save straight to your photo library. Both use the same AI.

Use it responsibly

Only edit images you own or have the right to change. Don’t remove watermarks from other people’s work, and don’t alter documents, receipts or messages.
