How to Mirror Text in Canva | Step-by-Step Tutorial

People & Blogs

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to flip or mirror text in Canva. While Canva offers a simple way to manipulate images using the flip feature, it does not have a direct option for flipping text. To achieve this effect, you will need to convert your text into an image. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

Step 1: Create a Blank Canvas

Start by opening Canva and selecting a blank sheet. It doesn't matter which template or dimensions you choose for this step.

Step 2: Add Your Text

Once you've opened your blank canvas, add the text you want to mirror. Type in your desired text and customize it as necessary.

Step 3: Download the Text as an Image

Since the flip option is unavailable for text, you’ll need to convert your text into an image. To do this, click on the "Share" button in the top right corner, then select "Download." In the download options, choose the PNG format and make sure to check the box for a transparent background (if applicable) before downloading.

Step 4: Upload the Image

Next, go to the 'Uploads' section in Canva. Here, you can upload the PNG file that you just downloaded. Click on this file to add it back into your design.

Step 5: Flip the Image

Now that your text is in image form, you can flip it easily! Click on the uploaded text image, and you will see the “Flip” button in the options toolbar. You have the option to flip it horizontally or vertically, depending on your needs.

Step 6: Adjust as Necessary

After flipping the image, you might want to adjust its position or size to fit your design. Drag it around or resize it according to your preference.

And there you have it! You've successfully mirrored text in Canva. We hope this tutorial was helpful for you. Happy designing!
