Basic Text Settings

Add and edit your text-based content as a vector format. Move and resize the Text box, and then when you’re satisfied with the results, rasterize the asset to combine it with the artwork.

Add Text

You can find the Text function under Objects by. After opening it, click on Text to access the panel.

A text box with the word “Text” inside will show up on your canvas in MediBang Pro’s default font.

Edit Text

You can use the Keyboard on your iPad to type text into the box, or use the Scribble function of an Apple Pencil.

The new text box will already be highlighted upon being added to the canvas, ready for editing. As the text changes, the box will automatically expand to accommodate the amount of text.

However, if you make the box narrower than the inside text, the text will be broken up into multiple lines.
