Keep the picture. Lose the lettering.
A caption does not have to cost you the whole composition. Select the lettering, rebuild that area, and review the result against your original.

Remove Text From Manga Pages
Remove text from manga pages and comics before typesetting: erase lettering from speech bubbles and sound effects while keeping line art intact.
Scanlation teams, typesetters and manga hobbyists all share the same chore: the lettering has to go before the new text goes in. Cleaning a manga page by hand means white-out on speech bubbles, clone-stamping screentones, and rebuilding sound-effect lettering that crosses art. DeleteText exists to make that step nearly automatic — you brush the lettering, AI rebuilds the bubbles, tones and line art underneath, and the page comes back ready for typesetting.
Speech bubbles are the friendly case: white interiors erase almost perfectly, and even stylized bubble edges are reconstructed cleanly because the model can see the bubble boundary all around the text. Sound effects are the hard case — hand-lettered onomatopoeia woven into the art, often overlapping characters, speed lines and screentones. Treat them region by region: a pass along the main strokes, then a small-brush pass along the edges where lettering meets linework. Two light passes preserve the line art far better than one aggressive selection.
A note on what this page is and is not. It is a tool page for people cleaning pages they have the rights to edit — your own comics, licensed projects, public-domain material, or practice pages. It is not an invitation to pirate; use it accordingly. With that said, the workflow is the same for everyone: upload the page (JPG/PNG up to 20 MB), brush the lettering, erase at 1 credit per pass, and download the clean page for your typesetting software.
Panel-precise tools help on dense pages: zoom in for furigana and small marginal notes, use the 4-pixel brush for thin lettering, and trim stray strokes with the eraser. Because every erase is versioned, you can clean a page in stages — bubbles first, then effects — and compare versions if a rebuild loses a line you needed.
New accounts get 5 free credits, which is enough to clean a couple of test pages end to end before spending anything. If DeleteText fits your pipeline, Pro at 600 credits for $9.9 covers a lot of chapters. Clean your first page and see whether the bubbles come back as clean as the day they were drawn.
An edit you stay in control of
Choose exactly what changes
Your brush defines the repair area. Keep nearby labels, faces and product details outside the selection. The edge is blended to help the repair meet the original.
Keep every attempt
Each erase adds a version to your workspace. Compare the result, return to an earlier version, or continue editing from the one you prefer.
Review before you download
Check the repaired area at full size with the comparison slider. A second, smaller selection can help remove a remaining letter edge or shadow.
Before you call it finished
Start with the sharpest original available. Repeatedly compressed screenshots leave less detail for the repair.
Cover the complete letter, including its outline and shadow. Keep important edges outside the selection where possible.
Check both close up and at normal viewing size. Detailed patterns and large covered areas may need several passes; AI cannot guarantee the exact hidden original.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on speech bubbles?
Extremely well — white bubble interiors are the easiest case, and bubble edges are reconstructed cleanly.
What about sound effects over the art?
Erase them region by region with a small brush; two light passes preserve line art better than one heavy pass.
Will screentones survive erasing?
Mostly yes — the AI rebuilds tone patterns from the surrounding area, and a targeted second pass fixes any flat spots.
Can I use the pages commercially?
Only if you hold the rights to the pages — your own work, licensed projects or public-domain material.
How many pages can I clean for free?
New accounts get 5 free credits, one per erase — enough to test a couple of pages end to end.
