• Abstract: We propose TextWand, a general-purpose framework that unifies scene text removal, generation, and replacement into a single model. By decomposing complex editing tasks into the atomic primitives of rendering and erasure, TextWand achieves precise control over both text appearance and background integrity. Specifically, we introduce a novel design, Overlay-Reference Positional Encoding (ORPE), to enforce pixel-level layout fidelity and exemplar-driven style control, alongside a new strategy, Region-Adaptive Suppression (RAS), to ensure clean text erasure. To address the absence of a comprehensive benchmark for general-purpose scene text editing among existing single-task datasets, we construct TextWand-Bench. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TextWand outperforms existing leading open-source and closed-source models by delivering superior text content accuracy, layout and style consistency, and overall image quality across scene text removal, generation and replacement tasks.

  Scene Text Editing (STE) is a challenging research problem, that primarily aims towards modifying existing texts in an image. Existing style-transfer-based approaches have shown sub-par editing performance due to complex image backgrounds, diverse font attributes, and varying word lengths within the text. We propose a novel font-agnostic scene text editing and rendering framework, named FASTER, for simultaneously generating text in arbitrary styles and locations.
