PicMonkey’s design templates come preloaded with text, images, and/or graphics. However, you can alter the templates by changing, adding, or deleting any of the pre-existing elements to create a custom look.
To edit text in a template, click the section of text you want to edit. This will open the Text Tools menu on the left panel.
From the Text Tools menu you can:
Alter font type, color, size, spacing, and line height
Curve text, fill with an image, or animate it
Add an outline or shadow
Fade and blend text
Rotate or flip text horizontally and vertically
You can also delete a text block, or erase portions of the text.
If you’re having trouble grabbing a certain text box, use the Layers panel (three stacked squares icon on far right side of the bottom toolbar) to select the text you want.
