In short

A poster is one flat image once it leaves the design tool. To change a line you would normally need the source file and the fonts. Make It Say edits the flat image directly: the line is found, you type the new text, and it is drawn back in the same typeface, color and alignment. Flat designs, gradients, photos and hand-lettered flyers all work.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the image

    PNG, JPEG or WebP. The text in it is found and boxed in a few seconds. No account needed for this step.

  2. 2

    Type what each line should say

    Click a box, type the new text, or translate every line into another language in one click. Fix a misread line or draw a box the scan missed. Change up to 20 lines at once.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    In 20 to 40 seconds you get a PNG with the new text in the original font, color and angle. One credit per image; your first is free.

What people change

  • Dates and times after a reschedule.
  • A venue or an address.
  • A price or a discount.
  • A sponsor or performer name.
  • The language, for a second market.

Print quality

The output is the same size as the poster you upload (anything over about 8 megapixels is scaled down first), enough for A4 and most flyers. Apart from the lines you changed, the pixels are your original ones.

What it will not edit

ID cards, passports, driving licences, certificates, transcripts, receipts, invoices and bank documents. The scan recognises these and the edit is refused before anything is charged. Editing them is forgery in most places, and we do not want that traffic.

Everything else that is yours to change is fine: your screenshots, your designs, your photos, images you have the rights to.

Questions

Can I change a date on a poster?

Yes, on posters, flyers, banners and invitations. Dates on documents such as certificates, tickets and receipts are refused.

Do I need to know the font?

No. The font, weight, color, outline and slant are copied from the pixels around the line. You only type the new words.

Does it keep the resolution?

Yes. The result is a PNG the same size as the image you uploaded, and apart from the lines you changed, the pixels are the ones you uploaded. Nothing is downscaled to fit a watermark or a free tier.

Is there a watermark?

No, on free and paid edits alike.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser on iPhone and Android. Upload from your camera roll, tap a line, type, download.

What does it cost?

One credit per image, however many lines you change. New accounts get 1 free credit. Then 2 edits for $1, 40 for $10, or 120 a month for $20. Failed edits are not charged. Pricing.

What happens to my image?

It is sent to the model once, stored for up to a day so the edit can finish, then deleted. Results are kept for 30 days so you can download them again. See the privacy policy.
