How Do I Make a Rounded Rectangle in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:31 pm

Rounded rectangles are a common design element, and they’re not too difficult to create in Photoshop. Here’s how:

First, create a new document and draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool (U). To give it rounded corners, go to Window > Effects and double-click on the “Rounded Corners” effect.

In the Rounded Corners dialog box, enter a Radius value that’s half the width of your rectangle. For example, if your rectangle is 200px wide, enter a Radius of 100px. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Next, add some text inside your rectangle. You can use the Type Tool (T) to do this, or you can simply click inside the rectangle and type your text.

To style your text, select it with the Type Tool (T) and then use the Control panel above the canvas to apply formatting options like font family, size, color, etc. You can also use the Text Formatting options in the Options Bar at the top of the screen.

Finally, to add a border around your rectangle, go to Edit > Stroke and choose a width for your stroke. You can also apply other effects like Gradient Overlay or Drop Shadow from the Layer Styles dialog box (double-click on the layer thumbnail).

PRO TIP: Please be aware that creating a rounded rectangle in Photoshop can be tricky and may take some practice. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take your time.

In conclusion, creating rounded rectangles in Photoshop is a straightforward process that can be accomplished by following a few simple steps. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can add this popular design element to your project.
