How Do I Extract Text From an Image in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 31, 2023 @ 3:51 pm

There are a few different ways to extract text from an image in Photoshop. One way is to use the “Text Tool” located in the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. With this tool selected, click on the area of the image from which you want to extract text. This will create a text box which you can then type your text into.

Another way to extract text from an image is to use the “Content-Aware Fill” tool. This tool can be found in the “Edit” menu at the top of the screen. With this tool selected, simply click and drag over the area from which you want to extract text. Photoshop will automatically fill in the area with surrounding pixels, leaving you with a clean text layer that you can then edit as you, please.

PRO TIP: When extracting text from an image in Photoshop, it is important to use the ‘T’ tool in order to create a new layer for the text. This will help to keep the text from becoming blurry when you resize or move the image.
