Learn how to edit or delete text within any image added to the canvas, all while preserving the integrity of the original image.
With Boards, editing and deleting text within any image on the canvas is seamless and non-destructive. Whether you're fine-tuning a design, fixing a typo, adding new content, or deleting outdated text, you can modify or delete text elements without affecting the background, preserving the original image’s integrity while making updates with ease and precision.
- Firefly now intelligently detects text objects that share the same baseline and treats them as a single editable line, preserving original styling and layout.
- You can edit entire lines or select specific words or characters within that line.
- Multi-line editing is not supported in this release.
Before you begin:
Create a board and add or generate visuals, including images, onto your canvas.
Select Edit, then choose Edit text in image.
Firefly detects text on the same baseline and highlights it as a single editable line.
Make your edits in the text box.
- To edit, modify the text directly.
- To delete, remove any part of the detected text.
To apply your changes, either press Return (macOS) / Enter (Windows) while editing the text, or select the Generate button.
Both actions will trigger image generation with your updated or deleted text.
Watch for the animated progress overlay on the canvas, indicating that the generation is in progress.
