PRO TIP: If you are using the Canva design tool to create designs for print or digital media, be aware that rotating text can result in unwanted distortion. To avoid this, use the following steps:

1. In the Canva editor, click on the ‘Text’ tool.

2. Type out your text.

3. Select the text by clicking and dragging your mouse over it.

4. In the top menu bar, click on ‘Transform.’

5. A pop-up window will appear. Enter the degree of rotation you desire in the ‘Rotation’ field and then click ‘OK.’

There are many ways to rotate text in Canva. You can use the Rotate tool, which is located in the toolbar at the top of the Canva editor. Or, you can use the keyboard shortcut Shift + R.

To rotate text using the Rotate tool:

1. Select the text you want to rotate. 2. Click on the Rotate tool in the toolbar.

3. Drag the slider to rotate the text clockwise or counterclockwise. 4. Click on the checkmark to confirm your changes.

To rotate text using the keyboard shortcut:

1. Press and hold down the Shift key on your keyboard. 3. While holding down Shift, press R on your keyboard once.

This will rotate the text clockwise by 90 degrees. To rotate counterclockwise, press R twice while still holding down Shift. Release both keys when you’re done rotating the text.

There are many ways to rotate text in Canva, but two of the most popular methods are using the Rotate tool or keyboard shortcut Shift + R. Using the Rotate tool is simple – just select the text you want to rotate and drag the slider to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by degrees. The keyboard shortcut is also easy to use – just select the text, press and hold Shift, and press R once for a 90 degree rotation clockwise or twice for a counterclockwise rotation
