How Do I Cut and Move Text in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 24, 2023 @ 6:07 pm

There are a few different ways that you can cut and move text in Photoshop. You can use the Move Tool, the Type Tool, or the Content-Aware Move Tool.

The Move Tool is the most basic way to move text in Photoshop. To use the Move Tool, simply select it from the toolbar and then click and drag the text to where you want it to go. You can also use the keyboard shortcut “v” to select the Move Tool.

The Type Tool is a more precise way to move text in Photoshop. To use the Type Tool, first, select the Type tool from the left toolbar and highlight the text that you want to move. Then, right-click on it and select the “Cut” option.

Then, select the Type Tool from the toolbar and create a text box on your canvas. From there, right-click on the text box and select the “Paste” option.

Now you can cut and move text using the Type Tool!

The Content-Aware Move Tool is the most advanced way to move text in Photoshop. To use the Content-Aware Move Tool, select it from the toolbar and then encircle the text that you want to move.

Then, click and drag the text to where you want it to go. The Content-Aware Move Tool will automatically try to fill in any gaps that are left behind when you move the text.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop software, it is recommended that you do not attempt to cut and move text within the program. This can result in unwanted changes to your text or document.
