Recognition settings & projects
Local recognition is selected. You can change the method below.
Best for clear, straight text, up to 20 megapixels. Recognition files download on first use; your image stays in this browser.
Projects stay in this browser. Default local recognition keeps your image here; choosing cloud recognition or AI background repair sends images for processing.
Replace a transparent label and inspect its edges
This original 1000 × 420 PNG changes OPEN STUDIO to DESIGN STUDIO. Transparent space and a distant semi-transparent marker make it possible to check alpha handling. Switch the preview between checkerboard, white and dark backgrounds; the background is not added to the downloaded PNG.

Check the alpha channel
Switch between light and dark preview backgrounds. Look for a white rectangle, old-letter remnants and halos around the new lettering.
Keep the original dimensions
Both label files are 1000 × 420 pixels. Inspect the full-size download rather than judging small letter edges only in the scaled preview.
Choose PNG when you need transparency
Download PNG, place it over the background where you plan to use it, and check semi-transparent edges. JPG has no alpha channel.
This is a controlled transparent-label example. Complex alpha textures and custom-drawn logos need their own inspection. Choose PNG to retain transparency; JPG export places transparent areas on white.
Follow the transparent PNG edit in four steps
How to do it
- 1
Upload the original PNG. Check whether its background is transparent; a checkerboard visible inside the image may already be baked into the pixels.
- 2
Select the text, check the recognized original, and enter your replacement. Adjust the font and size without covering nearby artwork.
- 3
Export PNG at the original image dimensions within supported limits, without JPEG recompression. A smaller analysis copy does not reduce the export dimensions.
