How Do I Wrap Text Around a Circle in Canva?

Are you tired of the same old boring text layouts in your Canva designs? Do you want to add a touch of creativity and uniqueness to your designs? Well, look no further! In this tutorial, I will show you how to wrap text around a circle in Canva, giving your designs a visually appealing and eye-catching effect.

Step 1: Create a New Design

First, let's start by creating a new design in Canva. You can choose any template or create a custom-sized design according to your requirements.

Step 2: Add a Circle Shape

Once you have your design canvas ready, navigate to the "Elements" tab on the left-hand side of the screen. From there, select the "Shapes" category and choose the circle shape.

Note: Make sure that the circle shape is large enough to accommodate your text. You can adjust its size later if needed.

Step 3: Add Your Text

Now it's time to add your text. Click on the "Text" tab located on the left-hand side panel and select "Add Heading" or "Add Subheading" depending on the level of importance you want to give to your text.

Note: For demonstration purposes, I will be using a heading for this tutorial.

Step 4: Position Your Text Around the Circle

To wrap your text around the circle shape, click and drag your heading (or subheading) onto the canvas. Position it near or overlapping with the circle shape.

Note: Don't worry if your text covers part of the circle shape; we will fix that in later steps.

Step 5: Adjust the Text Size and Font

To make your text fit nicely around the circle shape, you may need to adjust its size and font. Click on the selected text, and a toolbar will appear at the top of the screen. Use the options provided to modify the size, font, and other formatting settings until you are satisfied with how it looks.

Step 6: Wrap Text Around the Circle

Now, let's wrap the text around the circle shape. Click on your heading (or subheading) to select it. Then, navigate to the "Text Effects" tab that appears on top of your design canvas.

In the "Text Effects" panel, you will find various options for styling your text. Look for the option called "Curve." Click on it, and a slider will appear.

Note: The position of this option may vary depending on which version of Canva you are using.

• Drag the slider left or right to adjust how tightly your text wraps around the circle shape. Experiment with different settings until you achieve your desired effect.
• You can also click and drag your heading closer or farther from the circle shape to fine-tune its positioning.

Step 7: Customize Further (Optional)

If you want to add more visual interest to your design, feel free to customize it further using Canva's wide range of features. You can add images, shapes, backgrounds, or even change colors according to your preferences.
