AI-Powered ‘Unrasterize Text’ Option for Photoshop
Hello Adobe Photoshop Team,
I hope you're doing well. I’d like to propose a feature that many designers (me included) would find extremely helpful:
💡 Feature Idea: “Unrasterize / Text Recovery”
Summary:
Allow Photoshop to detect rasterized text (pixels) and convert it back into an editable text layer (with font, size, style attributes preserved as much as possible).
Why it helps:
Saves tons of time when working with older files or client deliverables where text was rasterized.
Reduces need to manually retype and match fonts, styles, and layouts.
Especially helpful for large projects, templates, and collaborative workflows.
How it might work (concept):
Photoshop performs a pixel-analysis scan to detect character shapes, spacing, and baseline.
Offers possible font matches (using built-in “Match Font”-style machine learning).
Presents a preview of detected text in editable format, which user can accept or correct.
Converts the raster layer into a text layer (or layered text objects) in the original position/style.
Bonus enhancements:
Highlight areas it couldn’t detect confidently (user fills in).
Support for multiple font styles, weights, colors in one raster block.
Integration with cloud/AI services to improve recognition over time.
Thanks for considering this — I believe it would be a game-changer for many users. 🙌
Best,
Xeno.
