How Do You Use Wrap in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:33 am

Wrap is a Photoshop feature that allows you to create text that “wraps” around an object. You can use it to create textured text, or to make text follow a curved path. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use wrap in Photoshop to create both kinds of text.

To start, open an image in Photoshop and select the Type tool from the toolbar. Then, click on the place in the image where you want to add your text. A new text layer will appear in the Layers panel.

Now, go to the Character panel (Window > Character). In the “Wrap” section, select the type of wrapping you want:

None: The text will appear as normal, without wrapping around anything.

PRO TIP: The following article contains instructions on how to use the wrap tool in Photoshop. Please be aware that this tool can be very tricky to use, and if not used correctly, can produce undesirable results. Use at your own risk.

Paragraph: The text will wrap around the object as if it were a paragraph in a document. The “Indent” option allows you to add space between the wrapped text and the object.

Tight: The text will wrap tightly around the object, without any space between them.

Once you’ve selected a wrapping option, you can adjust the amount of space between the wrapped text and the object by clicking and dragging on the “Wrap Points” in the image. To add more wrap points, click on the “Create Wrap Point Tool” in the Character panel and then click on the path you want to add a wrap point to.

If you want to create text that follows a curved path, go to the Type menu and select “Create Work Path.” Then, use the Direct Selection tool to move the points of the path until it’s in the shape you want.

Finally, go back to the Character panel and select “Tight” from the Wrap menu. Your text will now follow the curved path!
