Updating Text in Screenshots: A Short Guide for Docs, Support and Marketing Teams

Screenshots go out of date quickly. A button label changes, a plan name is renamed, or a sample value in a screenshot no longer matches the product. Retaking every screenshot is slow, and sometimes the original state can’t be reproduced. This article looks at how the ReWords AI screenshot text editor, an online image text editor, helps with screenshot text.

Replacing text, not covering it

ReWords AI replaces existing words inside a finished image. Instead of putting a sticker over the old label, it rebuilds the selected region and aims to match the original font, colour and background. That keeps the screenshot looking natural, although results vary and should always be checked.

How to edit a screenshot

1. Save the screenshot as PNG, JPG or WebP.
2. Upload it in your browser.
3. Click the detected text you want to change, or draw a box around it.
4. Type the new wording.
5. Generate the edit, and compare it with the surrounding UI text at 100% zoom.
6. Use the updated screenshot in your docs, help centre or slides.

Where it fits

• Documentation: keep labels consistent after a small wording change.
• Support articles: correct a sample value or a menu name.
• Marketing: adjust a headline in a promo graphic.
• Chats and posts: edit only images you have the right to change.

Limits to know

• Small UI fonts at low resolution are harder to match. Capture screenshots at high DPI when you can.
• Long replacements in tight spaces may look crowded.
• It is not a replacement for a full design tool or for retaking screenshots after a major redesign.

Cost

You can try one image edit free after signing in. After that, edits use credits (10 credits per standard 1K image) or a subscription, with 2K and 4K output listed as subscription benefits.
