Change the text on a thumbnail
The project file is gone, or someone else made it. Type the new title; the lettering, glow and layout stay.

AfterIn short
Thumbnails use heavy custom type with outlines, glows and gradients that are painful to rebuild. If you only need to change a number, a word or an episode title, upload the exported thumbnail, type the new text, download. The picture, the face and the effects are untouched.
How it works
- 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
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
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.
Typical changes
- "Part 3" to "Part 4" for a series thumbnail.
- A price, a number or a year in a title.
- A word in a reel or Short cover that was exported before a last-minute rename.
Output size
A 1280×720 thumbnail comes back at around 2560×1440 as a PNG. Downscale it in the upload dialog if the platform wants a smaller file.
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
Instagram says I cannot edit the cover text in a draft. Does this help?
Yes. Export the cover as an image, change the text here, and upload the new cover.
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.
