Adding Text in the Creator

Text stickers are incredibly popular—quotes, names, business names, jokes, phrases. The Creator gives you full control over every aspect of your text.

Adding Text

How to Add

1. Click the text icon (T) in the left toolbar
2. A text box appears on your canvas with placeholder text
3. The text is automatically selected and ready to edit

Editing Text Content

Method 1: Direct Editing

• Double-click the text on canvas
• Type your content directly
• Click outside to finish

Method 2: Settings Panel

• Select the text
• Find the Text field in the right panel
• Type your content there

Text Settings Panel

When text is selected, the right panel shows Text Settings with full typography controls:

Position & Size

Position

• X — Horizontal position in pixels
• Y — Vertical position in pixels

Enter exact values for precise placement.

Size

• Width (W) — Text box width
• Height (H) — Text box height
• Lock icon — Maintain aspect ratio when resizing

Alignment Buttons

Align text relative to the canvas:

Horizontal: Left, center, right

Vertical: Top, middle, bottom

These buttons snap your text box to the corresponding position.

Typography Controls

Font Family

Choose from a large selection of fonts:

• Sans-serif fonts — Clean, modern (Geist, Inter, Arial, etc.)
• Serif fonts — Classic, elegant (Georgia, Times, etc.)
• Display fonts — Decorative, eye-catching
• Handwritten fonts — Personal, casual feel
• Monospace fonts — Technical, typewriter style

Click the dropdown to browse and select fonts. The preview updates in real-time.

Font Size

Control text size in pixels:

• Enter a specific value
• Or use the controls to increase/decrease

Tip: Consider your final sticker size. Text that looks good on screen might be too small when printed at 2 inches.

Font Weight

Adjust text thickness:

• Light — Thin, delicate
• Normal — Standard weight (default)
• Medium — Slightly bolder
• Semi-bold — Noticeably thicker
• Bold — Heavy, strong emphasis
• Extra-bold — Maximum impact

Not all fonts support all weights. The available options depend on the selected font.

Line Height

Control spacing between lines of text:

• 1.0 — Lines touch (tight)
• 1.16 — Default, slight spacing
• 1.5 — Comfortable reading spacing
• 2.0 — Double-spaced

Adjust this when you have multiple lines of text.

Letter Spacing (Character Spacing)

Control space between individual characters:

• Negative values — Letters closer together (tighter)
• 0 — Default spacing
• Positive values — Letters further apart (looser)

Looser spacing can improve readability. Tighter spacing creates a denser look.

Text Alignment

Control how text aligns within its box:

• Left — Text starts from the left edge
• Center — Text is centered
• Right — Text aligns to the right edge
• Justify — Text stretches to fill the width

Text Color (Fill)

Set the color of your text:

1. Click the color swatch
2. Choose a color using the picker, or
3. Enter a hex code directly (e.g., #FF0000 for red)

Tips:

• Ensure contrast with your sticker background
• Dark text on light backgrounds (or vice versa) is most readable
• Consider how the color looks against the outline color

Text Decoration

Add special effects to your text:

• Underline — Line below text
• Strikethrough — Line through text
• None — No decoration (default)

Curved Text

Transform your text to follow a curved path—perfect for badge-style stickers, circular designs, and vintage aesthetics.

Enabling Curved Text

1. Select your text
2. Find the Curve option in Text Settings
3. Click to enable curved text mode

Curved Text Controls

Once enabled, you get additional settings:

Curve Intensity Controls how dramatic the curve is:

• Low values — Subtle curve
• High values — More dramatic arc

Curve Points Fine-tune the shape of the curve for more control over exactly how your text bends.

Curve Direction

• Up — Text arcs upward (smile shape)
• Down — Text arcs downward (frown shape)

Show/Hide Curve Toggle the curve guide visibility on canvas.

Curved Text Tips

• Works great around the edge of circular stickers
• Pair upward and downward curved text for badge designs
• Keep text short—very long text on curves can look cramped
• Adjust curve intensity until the text follows your desired arc

Moving & Transforming Text

Moving

Click and drag the text box to reposition.

Resizing

• Drag corner handles to resize proportionally
• Drag edge handles to stretch (may distort)

Rotating

Drag the rotation handle to angle your text.

Multiple Text Elements

Add as many text elements as you need:

1. Click the text icon again
2. A new text box appears
3. Customize each independently

Layer text elements for creative effects, or place them in different areas of your sticker.

Text & Shape Interaction

Text respects the sticker shape boundary:

• Text inside the shape prints fully
• Text extending beyond the shape gets clipped
• For die-cut stickers, the shape traces around your text
