Tools

• replace_text: Change or remove lines of text in an image (URL or base64). Waits up to 50 seconds and returns the edited PNG link, or an edit id to check later.
• scan_text: Read every line of text in an image with its position, to find the exact text to change.
• get_edit: Status of an edit; when ready, a link to the edited PNG.
• get_credits: Credits left on the account.

Things to ask

• In https://example.com/menu.jpg change "$12" to "$14" and "Tuesday" to "Wednesday".
• Translate the sign in this photo into English, keeping the same lettering.
• Remove the phone number from this screenshot.

Credits and limits

• Same credits as the website: 1 credit per image, however many lines you change. Failed edits are not charged.
• Images: PNG or JPG, 64 to 4096 pixels a side, up to 8.4 megapixels and 10 MB. Send a file, a public https URL, or base64.
• Up to 20 lines per image, each up to 200 characters. "from" is the text as it appears in the image; an empty "to" removes the line.
• The image is scanned first. If a "from" text is not in the image, nothing is charged and the response lists the lines that were read.
• IDs, passports, licences, certificates, transcripts, receipts, invoices and bank documents are refused.
• Scans count toward 30 an hour and 100 a day per account. Three edits can run at once.
• The result is a PNG at the size of the original. Its URL works for one hour; get the edit again for a fresh one. The original and the result are kept 30 days, then deleted.
• Each key allows 120 requests a minute. Keys are shown once; you can have 5 active keys.
