LayerGrab is an AI image text remover: it lifts every block of text onto its own layer and fills in the background behind it, so you can download the clean picture.

With credits on your account, "What to focus on" is pre-filled with "Separate only the text". To remove just one line, replace it with that line, for example "only the date at the bottom".

Each block of text comes back as its own layer and the background behind it is painted in. It takes 45–120 seconds.

The background layer is the picture with the text removed: download it as PNG. To keep some of the text, open the result in the editor, hide only the lines you want gone and export a PNG.
Image text remover
An image text remover is a tool that takes the words out of a picture and fills in what was behind them. LayerGrab does it by lifting every block of text onto its own transparent layer, so you get two things back: the picture without the text, and the text itself as separate layers.
The coffee poster on the right was split with the pre-filled instruction and nothing else. The headline, the date line and the “20% OFF” lettering came back as three text layers; the cup, the leaves and the empty red badge stayed in the background, with the gaps painted in. One thing to know: the small ornaments next to the headline and the date line went with the text, because the model counts them as part of those blocks.
Removing text this way keeps the text too. Each block is a separate transparent layer with a readable name, so you can delete it, move it, or put it back after you change the layout.
That is the difference from a brush-and-erase remover: nothing is lost, and the text can go back exactly where it was.

20% OFF textAUTUMN LATTE WEEK textOct 1 - Oct 7 · Maple Street Café textBackground (filled)On this social post only the offer line and the button were hidden; the “SUMMER GLOW” headline and the badge stayed. Name the text you want gone, or split all of it and hide lines in the editor before you export.
Need the result in Photoshop? Export everything as a layered PSD and toggle the text layers there.
In Photoshop you select the text with the lasso or the Object Selection tool and fill the selection with Content-Aware Fill or Generative Fill, one area at a time. On a plain background that takes a minute; on text that crosses a photo or a gradient it often needs several passes and some clone-stamp work.
LayerGrab does the selection and the fill in one step for every block of text at once, and keeps the removed text as layers instead of throwing it away.
For one small caption or a date stamp on a photo, a free brush-style object remover is faster and costs nothing. You pay per layer here, and the background counts as one.
Do not use it to strip a watermark or a credit from an image you do not own. If you want new words in the exact original font, this is the wrong tool: the text comes back as an image layer, and you retype it yourself.
Take the text off as layers instead of painting over it. Upload the image here with the instruction "Separate only the text", and every block of text comes back on its own layer while the area behind it is repainted to match the surroundings. The background layer is the clean picture; download it as a PNG.
Yes. Name the part in "What to focus on", for example "only the price" or "the date line at the bottom", and only that text comes off. Or split all the text, open the result in the editor, hide the lines you want removed and export a PNG with the rest kept.
Both. The text is removed from the background layer, and each block of it is kept as a separate transparent layer. Move it, restyle it in Photoshop or Figma, or leave it out. It is an image of the letters, not editable type: to change the wording, retype it with a real font over the clean background.
Both, but designs give the cleanest result. Text on a flat or soft background is easy to fill. Text over a face, a product label or a busy photo leaves a gap the model has to invent, so check those areas before you use the image.
No. LayerGrab removes text and hands it back as layers; it does not redraw new words in the original font. For a headline that is quick to retype in a similar font; for long paragraphs in an unusual font, a tool that re-renders text is a better fit.
You pay per layer that comes back, and the clean background counts as one. The coffee poster above came back as the background plus 3 text layers: 4 layers, 40 credits ($0.40) on a credit pack. Asking for one line of text is two layers. The free try every account gets is an extraction: it pulls one named element out as a transparent PNG, which gives you the text but not the picture without it, so removing text needs credits.
