Start creating right on your phone with the powerful, all-new app.

Select the add layer menu > Type layer.

Note:

By default, when a type layer is created, sample text appears within a bounding box.

Select anywhere inside the bounding box to begin typing the desired text.

Select Text options to apply the following styles to the text as needed:

Font family: Specify the family of fonts used for the text.
Style: Define the variant of the font (e.g., bold, italic, regular).
Size: Determine the height of the text characters.
Color: Set the color of the text.
Line height: Adjust the vertical space between lines of text.
Tracking: Control the spacing between all characters in a text block.
Caps: Change the text to uppercase letters, either fully or selectively.
Superscript/Subscript: Adjust text to appear above (superscript) or below (subscript) the baseline.
Underline: Add a line beneath the text for emphasis.
Strikethrough: Add a line through the middle of the text.
Alignment: Determine the positioning of the text relative to its container (left, center, or right).

Select the checkmark to commit the change.
