In short

Upload the WhatsApp screenshot. Every line is found and boxed: the contact name, the messages, the times. Type the new text for the lines you want to change and leave the rest. The green and white bubbles, the ticks and the wallpaper stay as they were, and the PNG comes back at the size of your screenshot. Works in the browser on iPhone and Android.

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.

Good reasons to edit a chat

  • Share a funny chat in a group or online without showing who said it: swap the contact name and the phone number for a placeholder.
  • Change a word to make a meme out of a real conversation, the way you would with a caption.
  • Make a mock-up of a chat for a design review, a tutorial, a presentation or a video.
  • Fix a typo in a screenshot that is going into a guide or a support ticket.

Tips for WhatsApp

Change the contact name at the top and the name in group messages in the same edit. Up to 20 lines cost one credit.

Keep a new message about as long as the old one and the bubble stays the same. A much longer or shorter message makes the bubble grow or shrink, and the chat below it moves.

Times are separate lines. Change them too if the new message needs a different time.

Not for

Making it look like a real person said something they did not, or editing a chat to use as proof. That breaks our terms, and such edits may be stopped. Payment and bank screens are refused by the scan.

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 hide a phone number in a WhatsApp screenshot?

Yes. Replace it with a placeholder such as "+1 555 0100" or a name. The number is redrawn in the same font, so the screenshot does not look covered up.

Does it work with dark mode and custom wallpapers?

Yes. The background around each line is kept, so dark mode, light mode and wallpapers all stay as they were.

Can I delete a message?

You can remove its text. The bubble may be left empty or shrink; to remove a whole message cleanly, crop it out instead.

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 and kept in private storage, with the result, for 30 days, then deleted. Delete the edit in your account and both go at once. Neither is public. See the privacy policy.
