Can You Type on a Path in Photoshop?

Sure! Just create a text layer, select the Type tool, and click-and-drag to create a text box on your desired path.

The text will automatically wrap to fit inside the text box. You can also adjust the text box size by clicking and dragging on the corner handles.

If you want to get really fancy, you can even type on a custom path that you create yourself! Just select the Pen tool and click-and-drag to create a path.

Then, with the Type tool selected, hover over the path until you see the “T” icon, and click. Now you can type away!

There are a few things to keep in mind when typing on a path. First, you can only have one line of text per path.

So if you want to create multiple lines of text, you’ll need to create multiple paths. Secondly, remember that the beginning and end of a path are always connected. So if you want your text to start or end in the middle of a path, you’ll need to break the path using the Pen tool.

Yes, you can type on a path in Photoshop! Just create a text layer, select the Type tool, and click-and-drag to create a text box on your desired path.

PRO TIP: If you type on a path in Photoshop, the text will follow the shape of the path. Be careful not to accidentally create a text path when you intended to create a regular text layer.
