Diffusion models have recently achieved remarkable success in high-fidelity image synthesis, yet their application to visual text generation and editing remains relatively underexplored. Unlike general image generation, visual text tasks demand precise structural regularity and legibility, which may pose additional challenges for small-scale text and non-Latin scripts such as Chinese. Existing UNet-based models often struggle to produce clear and coherent text, while DiT-based models, though more expressive, are typically limited to a single task, which may lead to redundant training pipelines, inconsistent visual styles, and reduced cross-task generalization. To address these challenges, we propose InnoText, a unified DiT-based framework capable of performing both text generation and editing within a single model. We introduce a Font Size-Aware Modulation (FSAM) module to enhance representations across font scales, a Small-Character Aware Augmentation strategy to improve fine-grained fidelity, and a Task-Specific Region Weighted Loss for adaptive optimization. To support training and evaluation, we also construct a high-quality bilingual (English-Chinese) visual text dataset covering diverse fonts, sizes, and backgrounds. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves superior generation accuracy and editing quality, producing visually appealing and realistic text images.
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.
