Recent Designs\u2019<\/strong> section on the Canva homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis section shows the projects that you’ve worked on in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on the project whose text you want to outline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result of which the project will open on a new window with a left sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or If you want to outline the text of a new design, then click on the \u2018Create a Design\u2019<\/strong> button and choose a design type from the available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you found the design type you like, click on it. As a result of which a new blank canvas will appear with a left sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: for this tutorial, I will create a new design type (logo).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>3. Add Text On Your Design<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnce you have a blank canvas in front of you, click on the \u2018Text\u2019<\/strong> button from the left sidebar to add text to your canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis will open a new menu in front of you, choose a text style from the available options such as default text styles, font combinations, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClick on the text style that you like the most, and then type in your desired text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: If you choose to open a recent design then your text element will already be on your design. So, there is no need to add any new text element. People who are working on a recent design can skip this step and move ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>4. Apply Effects<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAfter adding text elements in Canva, it is time to outline the text by applying effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on the text element ones, as a result of which a top toolbar will appear. Click on the \u2018Effects\u2019<\/strong> button from the top toolbar and the effects menu will open in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are two effects that can help you outline your text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>a) Splice Effect<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nClick on the \u2018Splice\u2019<\/strong> effect from the new effects menu on the left side, then drag the \u2018Offset\u2019<\/strong> slider towards the left side (0), and then set the \u2018Thickness\u2019<\/strong> of the effect according to your need.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you move the thickness slider towards the left side (0), the outline will become thinner. And if you move the thickness slider towards the right side (100), the outline will become thicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClick on the \u2018Color\u2019<\/strong> button from the same effects menu to change the color of the inner portion of the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow choose a color from \u2018Default Colors\u2019 or use \u2018Color Picker Slider\u2019<\/strong> to find your desired color. Once you found the color that you like, click on it to change the color of the inside text.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want to change the color of the outline, then click on the \u2018Text Color\u2019 button or \u2018A\u2019 icon<\/strong> from the top toolbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow once again the color menu will open, click on the color that you like the most to change the color of the outline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>b) Outline Effect<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nClick on the \u2018Outline<\/strong>\u2019 effect from the effects menu on the left side. Then drag the \u2018Thickness\u2019<\/strong> slider towards the right side (100) for a thicker outline or drag the \u2018Thickness\u2019<\/strong> slider towards the left side (0) for a thinner outline.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNote: you can also change the color of the inner text as well as outline text by following the same steps explained above.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>5. Download Your Design<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnce you get satisfied with the results in front of you, it\u2019s time to download your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on the \u2018Share\u2019<\/strong> button from the top right corner of the screen and then further on the \u2018Download\u2019<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow set the file type to \u2018PNG\u2019 or \u2018JPG\u2019<\/strong> and the click on \u2018Download\u2019<\/strong> button again.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNote: if you want to later use this text as your logo then make sure to tick on the \u2018Transparent Background\u2019 box before clicking on the \u2018Download\u2019 button.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>FAQ on How To Outline Text In Canva<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCreating outline text in Canva\u00a0<\/strong>is quite straightforward. However, there may be some\u00a0questions<\/strong>\u00a0about this process which we\u2019ve answered below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
<\/span>How Do You Outline a Shape In Canva?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
To outline a shape in Canva, add 2 similar shapes from the \u2018Elements\u2019<\/strong> button on the left sidebar.<\/p>\nThen resize one shape to make it bigger than the other and also change the color by clicking on the \u2018Color\u2019<\/strong> button from the top toolbar.The first shape will be in the exact same size and color and the second shape will be bigger in size and will have a different color.Position<\/strong>\u2019 button and then on the \u2018Backward\u2019<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
<\/span>Is There An Outline Tool in Canva?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
Canva does not have an in-build outline tool.<\/p>\n
You can either manually outline the text as explained above or use any other editing tool like Photoshop which contains an outline tool feature.<\/p>\n
Although editing tools like this are not free and always charge a lot of money. So, my suggestion will be to use Canva only.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
