Furthermore, in Canva’s app selection, there’s TypeCraft—an option that allows you to truly personalize your text in any way you want. Below is a guide for how to find and use the TypeCraft app in Canva.

What Is TypeCraft in Canva?

There are several things you can create in Canva with zero effort, and adding TypeCraft to your design is one of them.

TypeCraft is a third-party text app created by Zeppelin Labs that can be found on Canva. Its sole purpose is to give creators the opportunity to shape their text in any way they see fit for their designs. You can mold your words into any form you want while keeping the integrity of the text.

For example, do you have an open space on your design where you want to place a heading? You can add your text, choose your font, and then effortlessly warp it to match the open space.

Where to Find TypeCraft

There are two ways you can find the TypeCraft app on Canva—how you’ll open the app just depends on where you are in your project.

If you are starting from scratch, meaning you haven’t opened the Canva Editor page yet, you’ll start on Canva’s main page. On the left-hand side of the page, click on Apps in the main menu. If there are no options available to select, click on the three-lined icon and the main menu should appear.

You can also find the app on the Editor page. Suppose you’re in the middle of creating a flyer from a Canva template; simply open the Apps tab on the left side of the screen and type TypeCraft in the search bar. Click on the app to open it, and now you’re ready to go.

How to Use TypeCraft in Canva

Using TypeCraft is incredibly straightforward. Before applying customized text to your design, you’ll have to create it first.

When the TypeCraft app is open, you’ll see several categories to complete. First, type the Text that you wish to add to your design. Keep in mind that each line of text will need its own TypeCraft application.

Use TypeCraft to Personalize Your Next Creative Project

Canva has included many apps in its vast platform that can help you personalize your designs. Next time you’re working on a creative project, try TypeCraft to see how warping text can give your artwork a unique impression.
