Edit Poster Text: Change a Title, Date or Price

Turn a flat poster into layers and change its words. In the PSD with editable text (beta) the text it can read is Photoshop type, so you can retype it or set it in another font. The first split is free: sign in with Google, no card needed.

Edit poster text

Change a date, a price or a headline without rebuilding the poster

A finished poster is one flat picture: the date moved, the offer changed, and the source file is gone. LayerSplit splits it into layers over a filled background, and writes the text it can read as Photoshop type layers that still carry the original pixels. The file looks exactly like your poster until you retype a line. Then only that line changes, and the artwork, the layout and every other layer stay as approved.

  • Retype or restyle the title, date, price and footer lines
  • The type layer keeps the original look until you edit it
  • Logos, script and curved text stay images, so they are never replaced by a font
The original poster. The headline is baked into the picture.

How to edit the text of a flat poster

  1. Upload the poster

    A PNG, JPG or WebP of the finished poster, up to 20 MB.

  2. Split it into layers

    The headline, the artwork and the text blocks become layers over a filled background.

  3. Choose the PSD with editable text

    In the layers panel, press PSD with editable text (beta).

  4. Retype in Photoshop or Photopea

    Double-click a type layer and change the words. Save or export the new poster.

Posters with editable text, ready to open

Each example has a PSD with editable text next to the standard PSD. Open one in Photopea and double-click a type layer.

Who it is for

Marketers, event organisers and small shops who need to change a poster they only have as a JPG or PNG, and designers who received a flat export instead of the source file.

What stays an image

  • Text is an image layer by default. The PSD with editable text (beta) makes the text it can read Photoshop type; logos, curved, outlined and multicolour lettering stay images.
  • Lettering in more than one colour, with an outline, or in a script or hand-drawn style is kept as an image.
  • Text printed on an object or on a busy texture is part of that object's layer.
  • The font is matched by style to Arial, Times New Roman, Impact or Courier New, so edited text can look different from the original.
  • Images where objects overlap take longer: 5 to 10 minutes instead of about 2.

Editing poster text: questions and answers

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Sign in with Google and get 150 credits, enough for one full split of up to 15 layers. No card is needed. The sample splits can be explored and downloaded without an account.

What does the free split include?

Every layer as a transparent PNG, a ZIP of all layers and the layered PSD, with no watermark.

Which files can I upload?

PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 20 MB.

How large is the output?

Up to 2,560 px on the long side. A larger upload is scaled down to that before it is split.

How many layers do I get?

Usually 5 to 10 and at most 15, plus a filled background that is never charged. Related items are grouped, so a set of ice cubes or a line of text is one layer. Choose Every element to split finer.

Is the part hidden behind an object restored?

Yes. An object partly covered by another comes back whole. Only the hidden part is drawn by AI; everything you can see is cut from your own pixels.

Is the text editable?

Partly, in beta. In the PSD with editable text, the words it can read become Photoshop type layers that you can retype and set in another font. Logos, curved, outlined or multicolour lettering and text it cannot read stay pixel layers, and so does all text in the PNG files, the ZIP and the standard PSD. You can always hide a text layer and type new words over the filled background.

What happens when I edit the text?

A type layer looks exactly like the original until you edit it. Then Photoshop sets the words in the closest of four common fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Impact or Courier New) at the size and colour measured from your image, so the lettering can look different. The PSD holds only the font's name, so a machine without it is asked to substitute one.

What does a layer cost?

10 credits a layer. The background is free, and a layer that fails is not charged.

How long does a split take?

About 2 minutes when the elements do not overlap. When objects cover each other, every level of overlap adds a pass and the split can take 5 to 10 minutes. You can leave the page; the result is saved in My splits.

What happens to my images?

Uploads and results are private to your account and are deleted after 30 days. Download anything you want to keep.

Can I change the text of a poster I only have as a PNG or JPG?

Yes. Split the poster, then download the PSD with editable text (beta). The words it could read are Photoshop type layers: open the file in Photoshop or Photopea and retype the title, the date or the price. Text it could not read stays an image layer, and you can hide that layer and type over the filled background.

Which text becomes editable?

Plain lettering set in one colour: headlines, subtitles, prices, dates and footers. Logos and wordmarks, script and hand lettering, curved text, outlined or multicolour lettering and text printed on an object stay image layers, so they look exactly as they did.

Does the editable text open in Photoshop?

It is written as standard Photoshop type layers, and the files open in Photopea with the T mark, the font, the size and the colour set. Photoshop asks to substitute a font that is not installed. Nothing is smart-object, mask or effect: every other layer is a plain pixel layer.

What if the words it read are wrong?

The words come from a vision model reading your image, so a wrong letter is possible in small or decorative print. Check the type layers before you rely on them. The PNG files, the ZIP and the standard PSD keep every word as pixels, exactly as in your poster.

Does it work on a poster I photographed?

It works best on the digital file. A photo of a printed poster has perspective and lighting that make clean layers, and readable text, harder.
