Can You Do Kerning in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 9:50 pm

Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. In Canva, kerning is applied automatically to all text. However, you can adjust the kerning for individual characters using the Character panel.

To open the Character panel, double-click on the text layer you want to edit. Then, click on the “A” icon in the top toolbar. This will open up the Character panel.

PRO TIP: Can You Do Kerning in Canva?

No, you cannot. Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a piece of text, and Canva does not have this feature. If you want to adjust the spacing between characters, you’ll need to use another program.

In the Character panel, you’ll see an option for “Kerning” under “Spacing.” By default, this is set to “Auto.” To change the kerning for individual characters, select “Custom” from the drop-down menu.

Now, you can use your mouse to click and drag on any two characters to adjust the space between them. You can also type in a specific value for the kerning in the “Value” field. To apply your changes, click “OK.”

The bottom line is that yes, you can do kerning in Canva – and it’s actually quite easy! Just open up the Character panel and adjust the kerning as needed.
