Poster text editing
Title, date, and price are separate layers. Hide one or drag it.
Sample layers you can click, hide, and drag. Your own image is split in the editor.
Poster text
Edit the text on a poster without the source file
Edit poster text by splitting a flat poster so the title, date, or price can be retyped, recolored, or hidden without rebuilding the layout.
Upload a flat poster. After the split, click the title, the date, or the price layer to move it, hide it, or replace that layer.

Drop an image to split it into layers
Separate the subject, text, and background, then move or resize any layer.
How it works
- 1. Upload the poster. Headline, logo, and photo stay separate.
- 2. Edit the wording. Type new text on the headline layer.
- 3. Export the stack. PSD or PNG layers keep their positions.
Free preview: 1 split per day at 1K, no sign-up. A full 2K split is 5 credits.
How it works
1
Upload the flat poster
JPG, PNG, or WebP. You do not need the original design file, and the tool will not reconstruct it.
2
Split the poster
Headline, date, price, logo, and artwork separate when they do not touch. Roles are not auto-detected.
3
Click the line you mean
Read the layer. A title and a price often share a block if the designer stacked them tightly.
4
Type, recolor, or hide
Edit text sets the new words in a font you choose. Recolor keeps the shapes for 3 credits. Remove text hides the line.
5
Export the poster
PSD or flattened PNG. PhotoCraft can adjust the stack. Save the project for the next market.
Title
The main line is a layer you can drag or replace.
Date
Move the date without shifting the artwork.
Price
Hide a price badge or replace that layer with a new one.
Poster text, after poster to layers
This page is the wording job. The broader “poster to layers” job — headline, logo, subject, and background as a PSD — lives on poster to PSD. Use that page when you need the whole stack. Use this page when the approved layout should stay and the words should change.
Nothing in the splitter labels a layer “headline” or “price” for you. You click the layer that contains those pixels. If the date is drawn in the same pixels as the title, you will edit them together.
Retype a title without the original font
Edit text rasterizes your sentence into the layer box. Pick sans, serif, display, or mono, then size and color. It will look similar, not identical, when the poster used a custom face. For a strict brand font, export the PSD and set the real typeface in Photoshop or PhotoCraft.
Replace, at 4 credits, redraws the layer if you would rather describe the new headline than typeset it. That can change letterforms more than Edit text does. Remove text is cleaner when the old line must leave before the new one is placed.
Dates, prices, and other markets
A date or a price is the same mechanism as a headline. There is no automatic currency or calendar conversion. Type the figures you want. There is no automatic translation either; /translate-text-in-image is the edit-text tool once you know the sentence.
The split is 5 credits at 2K no matter how many lines the poster contains. Save the project if each market is a separate pass on the same artwork. The guest preview at 1K cannot be exported.
Change a title, a date, and a price on one poster
Upload the flat poster and split it. Click through the layers with the poster still visible underneath and decide which blob is the title. Retype it with Edit text. Then find the date. If the date is a separate layer, retype only that. If the date is drawn inside the title, you have one box and you must set both strings together or hide the block and place two simpler lines. The price is the same test.
Color changes are recolor, 3 credits, and only when the glyphs should stay. A sale that changes from “20%” to “30%” is not a recolor. It is Edit text or Replace. Replace costs 4 credits and is the worse choice when you care about alignment, because the model redraws the layer instead of setting type in the box. Remove text first if the old glyphs show around the new ones.
The full stack, including the hero and the logo, is poster to layers. Send someone there when the request grows past the words. Keep them here when the layout is approved. PhotoCraft is the place to nudge tracking after Edit text gets the words right but the fit is clumsy. Save a project per market instead of flattening each export and splitting again.
None of these steps translate the poster or convert the currency. Bring the final strings. The split is still 5 credits at 2K for the whole file, not 5 credits per line you touch.
A poster text checklist before export
Read the title, the date, and the price at 100 percent after Edit text. Check that you did not leave the old glyphs in a halo, that the new line is in the language you intended, and that you did not recolor a word you meant to retype. Then hide the hero once to confirm you did not edit the artwork by accident. Poster text edits fail in review for those three reasons more often than they fail in the split.
If the checklist fails because the title and the price were one layer, go back to the saved project and either retype the whole block or move the job to poster to layers and rebuild the type in PhotoCraft. Do not run Replace hoping it will invent a cleaner hierarchy. Replace redraws pixels. It does not create a text frame with real leading. The date is the same kind of string: type the new one, and do not expect the tool to know which number was a year.
For a second size of the same poster, do not expect the layers to reflow. A story crop and a landscape crop are two uploads if you only have two flat files. Each is its own 5-credit split. The saved project from the first size does not invent the pixels of the second crop. Read the new title aloud once before export so a missing word does not ship inside an otherwise clean stack. Say the price and the date out loud as well, because a swapped digit is easier to hear than to see at a glance.
When not to use it
- The tool does not know which layer is the title, the date, or the price. You select it.
- Custom poster fonts are not recovered.
- Do not use it when you still have the live design file. Editing the source is cleaner.
- Overlapping offer stickers often fuse into one layer.
- The app will not translate, and it will not reflow a paragraph into a new text box with real leading.
Title, date, and price are not auto-detected. The closest flow is: split, then click the text layer.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the poster to layers tool?
It is the text step. [Poster to PSD](/poster-to-psd) is the full poster-to-layers export.
Can I change only the price?
Yes, if the price is its own layer. If it shares pixels with the headline, both change together.
Will the new title match the poster font?
Only approximately. Edit text uses a font you pick. It does not load the original file.
What does a poster text edit cost?
The split is 5 credits at 2K. Recolor is 3 and replace is 4 if you use them. Typing with Edit text does not add a per-word charge.
Do you detect the title automatically?
No. You click the layer that holds the title, date, or price. The splitter does not label those roles.
Is Image Layered free?
Yes — you can split one image per day at 1K without an account to preview the layers. Full-resolution 2K layers and PSD/PNG ZIP export use 5 credits per split.
What file do I get?
A layered Photoshop PSD where every element is its own named, transparent layer at its original position, or a ZIP of transparent PNGs plus a composite.
What images work best?
Posters, product shots, social graphics, characters and AI-generated images with clear subjects. Very busy photos can merge small details into one layer.
What happens if a split fails?
Credits are refunded automatically when a split fails or times out.
Are my images private?
Uploads are used only to create your layers and are not shown publicly or used for training.
Can I use the layers commercially?
Yes, you can use exported layers from your own images in commercial work.
