Creating curved text or curved writing is really easy in Canva!
How to Curve Text in Canva
Time needed: 1 minute
- Type your text
- On the toolbar, click on Effects
- Choose Curve
- Use the slider to adjust the shape of your curve
Sliding to the left curves your text upwards and adjusts the size of the circle, sliding to the right curves your text downwards and also adjusts the size of the circle.
- You can either use the resize handles to resize your text or the font size icon
- Click on the spacing icon on the toolbar to adjust the letter spacing
This allows your curved text to become a full circle!
- You’re done! 🙂
Edit Your Curved Text
To edit your curved text,
- Double-click on your text
- A box showing your text will appear over your curved text
- Make any edits that you want
- Click away (in a blank area of your design)
- You’re done! 🙂
