How to Edit Text in 3 Simple Steps

🔍 Step 1: Click on the Text You Want to Edit

Locate the text box you'd like to update. Simply double-click on the text box within your design canvas to activate the text editing mode. The text box will be outlined, and a blinking cursor will appear inside, allowing you to start editing.

✏️ Step 2: Make Your Changes

Now that the text box is active, you can:

• Type new text or delete existing text.

• Use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl/Cmd + Z to undo or Ctrl/Cmd + C/V to copy and paste.
• Format your text using the toolbar that appears above or near the selected text box. This includes:
  • Changing font style and size
  • Applying bold, italic, underline
  • Adjusting text color
  • Aligning text (left, center, right)
  • Adding bullet points or numbered lists

✅ Step 3: Click Outside the Text Box to Save Changes

Once you're good with your edits, click anywhere outside the text box or press Enter (Return) to exit editing mode. Your changes are automatically saved, and you can move on to the next part of your design.

Common Question

Why can't I edit my text? 

If you're unable to edit text or type content in your visual, it’s most likely due to a browser or cache issue.

To fix this, we recommend:

• Using the latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox
• Avoiding browsers like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, or Safari, as they may restrict certain scripts needed for Piktochart to work properly
• Clearing your browser cache and cookies, then refreshing the page

How do I fill a text box with color?

1. Select a basic square shape. Resize the shape and position it accordingly. 
2. Double-click the shape to activate the text function.
3. Type in your text.

How do I add superscript/subscript?

Currently, we don't offer a way to add superscripts or subscripts. As a workaround, create a new textbox positioning it as desired.
