How Do I Change the Spacing Between Letters in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:31 pm

There are a few different ways that you can change the spacing between letters in Photoshop. One way is to use the Character panel. To open the Character panel, go to Window > Character.

In the Character panel, you can use the tracking option to change the spacing between letters. To do this, simply type in a number in the tracking field. A positive number will increase the spacing between letters, while a negative number will decrease it.

Another way to change the spacing between letters is to use the Kern tool. To access the Kern tool, go to Type > Panels > Kern.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, we recommend that you do not attempt to change the letter spacing. This can result in unpredictable and undesirable results.

With the Kern tool selected, simply click and drag between two letters to adjust the spacing. You can also hold down the Option (PC: Alt) key and click and drag to the left to decrease the spacing or to the right to increase it.

You can also change the space between words by using Photoshop’s built-in word spacing options. To access these options, go to Type > Word Spacing. Here you can choose from several different preset options, or you can enter a custom value.

Finally, you can also adjust the leading (line height) of your text by going to Type > Leading. Again, you can choose from several presets or enter a custom value.

So there you have a few different ways that you can change the spacing between letters in Photoshop. Experiment with each of these methods until you find one that works best for your particular project.
