Step 1: Open an Image

1. Click Open Image and choose a picture from your computer.
2. The app loads the image onto a white canvas while keeping the original aspect ratio.

Step 2: Use the Brush Tool

1. Click the Brush button in the toolbar.
2. Adjust brush size and hardness (if available) using the controls at the top.
3. Click and drag on the canvas to paint directly on the image.
4. To erase, select the Eraser tool and drag over the areas you want to remove.

Tip for picking colors directly from the image:
Hold Alt (or Option on Mac) and click on the color you want,
or simply press the brush and click the desired color area to sample it.

Step 3: Add Text

1. Click the Text tool. A text box will appear on the canvas.
2. Type your message inside the box.
3. Drag the box to position it anywhere on the image.
4. Use the toolbar options to style your text:
   • Font Family – choose from the available fonts
   • Font Size – enter or select the desired size
   • Color Picker – select any color for the text
   • Bold/Italic (if present) – apply additional styling

When you are satisfied, click Commit to apply the text permanently to the canvas.

Step 4: Choose Export Size

In the Export Size dropdown:

• Working – saves the image at the current canvas size
• Original – saves at the original image dimensions
• Custom width – lets you set a custom pixel width

If you select Custom, enter your desired width in pixels; the height adjusts automatically to maintain the original aspect ratio.

Step 5: Save Your Image

Click one of the save buttons:

• Save PNG – creates a high-quality PNG (supports transparency if the canvas is transparent)
• Save JPEG – creates a compressed JPEG image
• Save WebP – creates a modern, efficient WebP image

Notes on Backgrounds

• The canvas is filled with white by default.
• Although WebP supports transparency, this version of TextRewriteLite does not include a transparent background toggle.
• Your saved image will match the visible canvas background.
