How to add and edit text in Photoshop

Download sample file and fonts to try

To help you practice and create something nice, here's a sample file. Download and open this PSD (ZIP, 1.35 MB) and try out all the tasks in your own file. Play with font size, font color, and placement of text to get the results you want.

If you don't have the fonts used in the sample file, you can substitute them with default fonts you have. You can also get the fonts used in the file - Nunito and Roboto. See Activate fonts for details.

Leave a comment in case your question isn't covered here!

How to add or place text

Open a photo or Photoshop document (PSD).

From the toolbar, select the Type tool or simply press 'T' to quickly select it. TheHorizontal Type Tool with which you can add text horizontally is selected by default. If you want to add text vertically, click the Type tool again and selectVertical Type Tool from the context menu.

Select the Type tool from the toolbar

Do you want to add a few words like a heading or title? Click anywhere on the canvas to type it. In Photoshop, this is called point text.

The other type of text in Photoshop is called paragraph text. As the name suggests, this is used when you want to type a paragraph. Click and drag the cursor on the canvas to create a bounding box in which you can type your paragraph. This helps you efficiently edit and align the paragraph later.

A type layer gets automatically created when you create point or paragraph text and can be identified in the Layers panel with the T icon.

Type layer in the Layers panel — A type layer in the Layers panel

Type your text. To save your changes, click in the options bar or press Esc and you're good to go!
