### 7.11. Discard Text Information

When you add text to an image, GIMP adds specific text related information. This command lets you discard this information, transforming the selected text layers into normal bitmap layers.

Note that this transformation of text into bitmap is automatically performed when you apply a graphic operation to a text layer. You can get the text information back by undoing the operation which modified the text.

| Note
This command only appears in the Layer menu if at least one text layer is selected.

#### 7.11.1. Activating the Command

You can access this command

- From the main menu through Layer → Discard Text Information.

- From the Layers Dialog, you can access it through the Discard Text Information command of its context menu.
