How Do I Make Text Snow in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:08 pm

If you want to add a little bit of winter magic to your photos, you can use Photoshop to make text appear as if it’s snowing. This effect is relatively easy to create, and can be done with just a few clicks. Here’s how:

1. Open your photo in Photoshop.

2. Select the “Text” tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen.

3. Click on the area where you want to add your text. A text box will appear.

4. Type out your text.

5. Go to the “Layer” menu at the top of the screen and select “Layer Styles.” A menu will appear with different options for styling your text layer.

6. Select “Outer Glow.” This will cause a halo of light to appear around your text, making it look like it’s glowing.

7. Set the “Size” of the Outer Glow to 10px, and the “Spread” to 5px.

These values will vary depending on the size of your photo and the amount of snow you want to add. Play around with them until you get the desired effect.

9. Click “OK” to apply the Outer Glow effect to your text layer.

10. Go to the “File” menu and select “Save As.” Choose a file name and location for your edited photo, then click “Save.”
