How to remove text from an image with Snagit

Removing text from an image in Snagit is a straightforward process. Follow these three steps to get started:
1
Step 1: Open your image and select the text
Import your image into Snagit’s Editor and use the Selection tool to highlight the text you want to remove. You can choose from various selection shapes, including freehand, to ensure precision when selecting text.
2
Step 2: Use the Auto-fill feature
Once the text is selected, select the Auto-fill option and press Delete to automatically replace the area with the surrounding background or color. This ensures that the area where the text was removed blends seamlessly with the rest of the image.

After removing unwanted text, review the image to ensure everything looks perfect. Snagit’s editing tools allow you to further adjust the image or add new elements, ensuring your final product is clean and professional.
