If you get creative with it, you can create captivating and creative graphics across various platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re trying to do it on Canva for the first time, here how you can do it two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">What we cover<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-make-vertical-text-in-canva\/#Make_Vertical_Text_by_Adjusting_Text_Box\" >Make Vertical Text by Adjusting Text Box<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-make-vertical-text-in-canva\/#Make_Vertical_Text_by_Adding_Individual_Alphabet\" >Make Vertical Text by Adding Individual Alphabet<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-make-vertical-text-in-canva\/#Wrapping_Up\" >Wrapping Up<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"make-vertical-text-by-adjusting-text-box\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_Vertical_Text_by_Adjusting_Text_Box\"><\/span>Make Vertical Text by Adjusting Text Box<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by opening the design you\u2019re working on from the <strong>Recent design<\/strong> section on the Canva home. If you haven\u2019t started with any, click on the <strong>Create a design<\/strong> button at the top right corner and select a design.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-293c1a83-9e3a\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-293c1a83-9e3a\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Create-a-design-2.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Create a design\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1487\" height=\"597\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>With the existing\/new design loaded, press <strong>T<\/strong> to add a text box to it. Now, type the text and make changes to its size, font, color, and effects if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-6e9bc371-c018\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-6e9bc371-c018\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/add-text-to-text-box.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"add text to text box\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1036\" height=\"480\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Once the text is added, drag the pill on any end to reduce its size so the text goes from horizontal orientation to vertical.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-be4f7975-6aa3\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-be4f7975-6aa3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Text-orientation-changed-to-vertical.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Text orientation changed to vertical\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1004\" height=\"626\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"make-vertical-text-by-adding-individual-alphabet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_Vertical_Text_by_Adding_Individual_Alphabet\"><\/span>Make Vertical Text by Adding Individual Alphabet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above approach creates a vertical text by reducing the size of the text box. While the vertical text looks great, it lacks customization. In such a scenario, add the individual alphabet of the text in a vertical orientation. Confused? Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Begin by pressing <strong>T<\/strong> to add a text box to the design, and instead of typing the entire text, add the first alphabet like below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-56441013-c931\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-56441013-c931\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Add-alphabet-to-the-text-box.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Add alphabet to the text box\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"859\" height=\"354\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Now, <strong>duplicate<\/strong> the existing text box or add a new text box and insert the second alphabet. Keep on doing it until the entire text is added to the design.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-f0e66bf9-6772\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-f0e66bf9-6772\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Add-full-text-to-the-design.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Add full text to the design\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1114\" height=\"717\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Once you\u2019re done making changes like adjusting the color, spacing, and effects, use the <strong>Group<\/strong> option to combine all to move them together around the design with ease.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-1c8291bf-4812\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-1c8291bf-4812\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Group-option.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Group option\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1224\" height=\"635\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrapping-up\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Congratulations on learning how to make vertical text in Canva!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While both approaches work well, we suggest adding the text individually to gain more flexibility with each alphabet font, color, and spacing. However, if the text is large, it would take forever to add each alphabet. Hence, consider the approach according to the text you\u2019re working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you aren\u2019t happy with both approaches, try using text editors like Word to create engaging vertical text. Next, capture it using a Snipping tool and add it to the design on Canva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"related-reading\">Related Reading <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-do-strikethrough-in-canva\/\">How To Do Strikethrough in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-wrap-text-in-canva\/\">How To Wrap Text in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-freehand-crop-in-canva\/\">How to Freehand Crop in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-select-all-in-canva\/\">How To Select All in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you trying to make vertical text in Canva?
