How to Change Menu Prices When You Only Have a JPG

Choose the simplest method for your menu

The best route depends on the files you still have and the area behind the price. There is no need to use AI for every price change.

Example: change MOCHA from $5.20 to $5.80

This actual TextRaze edit changes one selected price on a sample menu: MOCHA goes from $5.20 to $5.80. The neighboring CARAMEL MACCHIATO price remains $5.20.

Original

TextRaze result

• The original text entered for the selected area was $5.20; the replacement was $5.80.
• The neighboring CARAMEL MACCHIATO row also contains $5.20. Selecting the MOCHA price locates the intended change; matching the words alone is not enough.
• Read every nearby price and inspect the lettering against the original. One accepted sample does not guarantee that every menu, font, or background will edit equally well.

This is a sample menu and an actual AI edit already shown on the TextRaze homepage. The files display the relevant menu detail, not a customer order or a claim that all surrounding pixels are unchanged.

What this example shows

Requested edit

MOCHA: $5.20 → $5.80. Leave the next $5.20 price alone.

Input and output

1024 × 1536 PNG files. The example source is PNG; the editor also accepts JPG and WebP.

Recorded run

One Generate submission in this saved run, followed by Compare and Download.

Whole-image check

In these two PNGs, no decoded pixels changed outside the selection plus its 8-pixel blending edge.

Time and cost

Elapsed time and a customer charge were not recorded for this development example. Check current pricing before generating your own edit.

These are the original saved files from a development test documented on October 3, 2026, checked again on October 15. The scene was AI-generated, not supplied by a café customer. This is one selected example, not a success rate, a fresh test of the current service, or a guarantee for other images. No manual retouching was added to the saved result.

Inspect the full menu and selected area

The blue box marks the recorded selection on the original. It is an overlay, not part of the source file. Open either PNG to inspect the full menu at its original dimensions.

TextRaze vs Canva for this menu price change

The task is the same: change the MOCHA price from $5.20 to $5.80 and leave the next $5.20 alone. We loaded the same 1024 × 1536 sample menu into Canva on October 15, 2026, and compared the access workflow with the saved TextRaze example above.

Choose TextRaze when you want a focused way to change a few prices and prefer a one-time credit purchase to starting a recurring plan. You can inspect a real result for this exact menu before deciding. If you already have an eligible Canva plan and want editable text layers inside a broader design project, Grab Text may suit that workflow.

This is a same-image workflow and access comparison, not a side-by-side quality benchmark. The TextRaze result is an archived development example documented on October 3; the Canva access check was on October 15. Canva offers vary by account and region. Neither the missing Canva result nor this one TextRaze example establishes which tool produces better images.

Why choose TextRaze for a few menu price changes?

Only have the finished menu image? TextRaze gives you a focused way to update a price: select the number, enter the old and new values, and let AI make the replacement. No original design file, font upload, or manual erasing is needed.

It is a practical choice for occasional changes to a few prices in a JPG, PNG, or WebP. Compare the result before publishing, especially the digits and nearby rows. If you update the whole menu regularly, keep an editable design file for future changes.

• No font hunting: AI uses the existing lettering and background as visual context. You do not have to choose a typeface yourself.
• Prepare before signing in: upload your menu, select the prices, and enter the replacement values before you sign in to generate.
• No subscription required: one-time credit packs let you pay for occasional edits without a monthly plan. See Pricing for current options.
• Original-dimension downloads included: save the edited image at the same pixel width and height as your source, with no separate download charge.

Why clicking the price in a JPG does not select text

A JPG stores the appearance of the menu as pixels. It does not retain the original text boxes, fonts, or layers from the design file. Opening it in an image editor therefore does not automatically give you a price field to type into. Renaming the file or converting it to another image format does not recreate those layers.

OCR can help read the words in an image, but extracted text is not the original menu layout. TextRaze uses a different workflow: you identify the area and type the original and replacement text. You do not need to run OCR first, and the tool does not return an editable design document.

1. Start with the clearest menu image

Use the largest, clearest original image you have, rather than a screenshot of a messaging-app preview. Small currency symbols, decimal points, and compressed lettering are easy to misread. Save a separate copy of the source before making changes.

TextRaze accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP images. Upload the menu and open the text editor. You can prepare an edit before signing in, so first make sure that the price and its neighboring items are readable. If the only copy is badly blurred or too small for your intended print size, ask for the original design or rebuild it.

2. Select the exact price you want to replace

Draw a rectangle around the whole price, including the currency symbol and decimals you want to change. Leave a little space around the characters while keeping neighboring rows outside the selection. If you only want to change a price, there is no reason to include the dish name or the whole menu.

In the example above, MOCHA and CARAMEL MACCHIATO both cost $5.20. The selection identifies the MOCHA row. Simply asking to replace $5.20 without identifying its location would leave an important ambiguity about which item should change.

3. Enter the original and replacement values

Enter the exact original text from the selected area, then type the new text. For this example, the original is $5.20 and the replacement is $5.80. Keep the currency symbol, decimal separator, and number format consistent with the rest of your menu.

If several prices need updating, the editor supports up to three separate selected areas in one generation. Give each area its own original and replacement text, then check each change in the result.

Sign in with Google or a verified email account when prompted, review the credit cost displayed by the editor, and generate. Credit packs and subscriptions cover text edits; see Pricing for current options. Failed generations that produce no result do not use credits. Downloads are included.

4. Compare the whole menu before downloading

Read the replacement as text, not just as a similar-looking shape. A wrong decimal point, currency mark, or extra digit can change what you charge. Then compare the adjacent rows and the rest of the layout. AI may alter lettering or background details beyond the intended correction.

Text-editing downloads retain the original pixel dimensions, but that does not add missing detail or make a low-resolution source suitable for large-format printing. Check the downloaded file at the size you plan to display it. Keep your original and download the result you want to keep before the temporary editing session expires.

• The item and replacement price are correct, including currency and decimals.
• Other rows with the same original number have not changed unintentionally.
• Font appearance, spacing, alignment, and background look consistent.
• Dish names, dietary labels, and other factual information remain accurate.
• The downloaded image is readable at its intended screen or print size.
