How To Rotate Text In Canva
0Rotating text in Canva is a simple feature that allows users to enhance their design layout by changing the orientation of text boxes for visual impact. Whether you're working on a presentation, YouTube thumbnail, poster, or social media post, adjusting text rotation can help balance the layout, emphasize key words, or fit unique design elements. This video offers a step-by-step walkthrough of how to rotate text manually within Canva’s design editor.
To get started, open your browser and go to [https://www.canva.com/](https://www.canva.com/). After logging into your account, either create a new design by clicking “Create a design” or open an existing project. You can choose from a variety of formats such as Instagram posts, posters, or custom dimensions depending on your needs.
Once inside the design editor, locate the “Text” tab on the left-hand side of the screen. Click “Add a heading,” “Add a subheading,” or “Add a little bit of body text,” depending on your layout. After the text appears on your canvas, click to select the text box. A circular arrow icon will appear just below or beside the selected text — this is the rotate handle.
Click and hold the rotate handle, then drag your mouse left or right to rotate the text box in any direction. Canva provides live angle feedback as you rotate, making it easy to set precise angles or align it visually. You can also reposition the rotated text by clicking and dragging the box itself anywhere on the canvas.
This manual rotation tool works for all types of text elements and is available in both the free and Pro versions of Canva. It’s ideal for creating diagonal text effects, aligning to shapes, or stylizing quotes and labels within your layout.
