How Do You Curve Text in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:58 pm

There are a few ways to curve text in Photoshop, and the best method depends on the look you’re going for and how much control you need. If you want to create simple curved text or bend text along a path, the Pen tool is the easiest option.

For more creative control, use the Warp Text command or Liquify filter.

To curve text in Photoshop using the Pen tool, first select the Type tool and click where you want to start your text. Type out your text and then click the checkmark in the Options bar to commit the text.

Next, select the Pen tool from the Toolbar. If you don’t see it, press P until it appears.

Then, click on the first letter of your text and drag it around to create a curve. As you drag, press Shift to constrain the angle of your line and create a perfect curve.

Click on each letter in turn and drag it into place until your entire word is curved. When you’re happy with how it looks, press Enter or Return to commit the changes.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that curving text in Photoshop can be a tricky business. If you’re not careful, you can easily end up with wonky, distorted text. Proceed with caution!
