Canva is an accessible and robust graphic design tool for anyone. It includes a variety of features to assist in the creation of professional designs. Among these features is the capability to slice text, which we will guide you through in this blog post.
Step 1: Create Your Text
Firstly, you need to create your text. Click on the Text tab in the left bar of the Canva dashboard. Choose the text style you like and click on it, a text box will appear in the center of your canvas. Type in your desired text.
Step 2: Create Your Slice
Next, you will create a shape that will act as your ‘slice’. Go to the Elements tab in the left bar. You can select any shape you want. In the case of a simple slice, a rectangle can work just fine. Place and size this shape over the text where you want to make the slice.
Step 3: Duplicate Your Text
In order to create the slice effect, you need to duplicate the text. Click on the text box and press CTRL+C then CTRL+V to copy and paste it. You now have two identical text layers.
Step 4: Use the Slice Tool
Now, for the fun part, using the slice tool! Unfortunately, Canva does not currently have a built-in slice feature as of writing this. But don’t worry, as we can create a similar effect manually with the available tools. Here’s how:
1. Select your duplicated text layer and bring it to the front. 2. Change its color to match the background. The text will disappear as it blends in with the background. 3. Now, place the invisible text box over the shape you've created earlier. This will appear as if the shape has sliced the text.
Step 5: Group Your Elements
The final step is to group your elements. Click and drag your mouse to select both the shape and the invisible text. Then, click on the Group button at the top right of the Canva dashboard. You can now move and transform your sliced text as one unit.
And that’s it! You now know how to slice text in Canva. While Canva may not have a specific slice tool, you can use these steps to create a similar effect and add an attractive feature to your designs. Happy designing!
