Overview
PicWish Text Remover clears text from a photo: watermarks, captions, timestamps and labels. It detects the text itself, and manual tools let you mark anything it misses. A custom mode lets you pick an AI model and describe what to erase, such as the logo on a cup. It is one tool in the PicWish editor, so background removal and enhancement sit in the same workspace.
It runs on the web and as Windows, Mac, iOS and Android apps. Basic edits are free with standard-resolution downloads. HD downloads come with the Pro subscription or with pay-as-you-go credits, which PicWish states stay valid permanently. Bulk removal runs in the desktop app. Only edit images you have the rights to.
