Getting Started with Text on Canva iPhone App
The first step is launching the Canva app and selecting "Create a design" to start your project. For this guide, let's choose a blank template as a base for our text.

Customizing Text
Now that your text element is on the canvas, you can customize it. Long-press the text box until the editing tools appear at the top of your screen. Here, you can change the font, size, color, and alignment to best fit your design.
To format text within the box, tap inside the box to highlight the text. This will allow you to change the font, size, color, or style of specific words or phrases within your text.
Exploring Text Formatting Options
Canva offers a variety of text formatting options to make your text pop. Let's explore some of these features.
Understanding each formatting tool will help you bring your text to life, making it the perfect complement to your iPhone-created graphics.
Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strikethrough
To apply these basic text styles, select the text you want to format and tap the corresponding button (B, I, U, or -) at the top of your screen. These options give you full control over the emphasis and hierarchy of your text.
To apply these styles, simply select the text and tap the corresponding button. No asterisks (*) are needed; Canva makes formatting intuitive and easy.
All Caps and Small Caps
Sometimes, adding a little extra emphasis to your text can make a big difference. The "All Caps" and "Small Caps" options allow you to transform your text, making it more prominent or sophisticated, as needed.
To apply these, select the text and then tap on the corresponding button (A↑ or a↓) at the top of your screen. This will instantly transform your text, giving you a quick, easy way to create visual impact.
