How Do You Outline Text in Canva?
Have you ever wondered how to make your text stand out in Canva? One way to achieve this is by outlining your text. In this tutorial, we will explore how to outline text in Canva using HTML styling elements.
Step 1: Access the Text Element
To begin outlining your text, you first need to access the Text element in Canva. This can be done by selecting the Text tab on the left sidebar.
Step 2: Customize Your Text
Once you have accessed the Text element, you can start customizing your text. Type in the desired content and choose a font that suits your project. You can also adjust the size and color of the text to match your design.
Step 3: Apply an Outline
To outline your text, we will utilize HTML styling elements. Open the HTML editor by clicking on the small pencil icon located at the top right corner of the Text element box.
Inside the HTML editor, insert the following code snippet:
Your outlined text here
In this code snippet, we have wrapped our text with tags for bold and tags for underline within a
tag for paragraph formatting.
Step 4: Adjust Outline Settings
You can further customize your outlined text by modifying its appearance using CSS properties. To do this, add inline CSS styles within each HTML tag, like so:
Your outlined text here
In the above example, we have set different colors for the paragraph, underline, and bold elements. We have also adjusted the size of the paragraph using the font-size property and added a dashed underline using the text-decoration-style property.
Pro Tip:
If you want to increase the thickness of your outline, you can use CSS properties like text-shadow. For example:

This will create a shadow effect around your text, giving it a more pronounced outline.
Step 5: Save and Export
Once you are satisfied with your outlined text, save your design and export it in your preferred format. You can now use this eye-catching text in various projects such as social media graphics, presentations, or even printed materials.
Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to outline text in Canva using HTML styling elements. By combining different styles and properties, you can create unique and visually engaging designs that grab attention.
Remember to experiment with different fonts, colors, sizes, and styles to find the perfect combination for your project. Happy designing!
