A text remover that finds the text for you
Most text removers expect you to paint over every letter yourself. FrameWipe starts by detecting the text in the image and boxing each piece: a caption, a sign, a price tag, a label on a screenshot. You decide which boxes to remove. Text you want to keep stays untouched.
If something was not detected, or it is not text at all, mark it with the brush or a box. The same eraser handles both.
How AI inpainting fills the gap
Removing text leaves a hole. FrameWipe fills it with inpainting: a model that looks at the surroundings and paints in background that fits. It works well on skies, walls, fabric and flat colour. It is harder on detailed areas such as faces, small patterns or other text, where the fill can look smudged.
FrameWipe gives you two engines for that reason:
- Fast (MI-GAN): built in, quick, good for small text on simple backgrounds.
- Quality (LaMa): an optional download of about 200 MB, better for large areas and busy textures.
Remove text from a photo without uploading it
Online text removers are quick for a single public image. They are less suitable for screenshots with names and messages, scans of documents, client images or anything you would not post. FrameWipe is a desktop app: the image is processed on your computer, there is no account, and nothing is uploaded.
Outside the areas you mark, the image keeps its original pixels and resolution, so only what you chose to remove changes.
Typical uses
FrameWipe is meant for images you own or have the right to edit. Common cases:
- Removing captions or old text from your own photos and graphics before reusing them.
- Clearing names and messages from screenshots before sharing them.
- Cleaning signs or labels out of product or travel photos you took.
- The filled area is a plausible background, not the original content that was behind the text.
- Text over busy backgrounds, faces or fine patterns can leave visible traces. Try the Quality engine and compare.
- Very small, curved or stylised text may not be detected. Mark it with the brush.
- Large areas are harder to fill convincingly than small ones.
