Text#
The Text layer lets you add any text element to a product image. Each text layer has its own typography, color, position, and effect settings and can be placed precisely on the canvas.
Layer settings#
Content#
Enter the layer’s content in the Text field, for example “New”, “Free shipping”, or “Add to cart”.
Typography#
-
Font – choose a font from the available selection or a custom font.
-
Style – the weight and style of the font (Regular, Bold, Italic, etc.).
-
Size – font size in pixels, entered directly or using the arrows.
-
Color – the text color’s hex code entered directly into the field.
-
Letter spacing – kerning, adjusts the horizontal spacing between characters.
-
Text wrapping – when enabled, text wraps onto a new line when it reaches the edge of the layer. When disabled, text extends past the layer’s boundary.
Alignment and transformation#
The alignment panel contains buttons for horizontal text alignment (left, center, right) and vertical alignment within the text field. Options for changing letter case are also available: ABC (uppercase), aA (keep original), and combinations of the two.
Border#
The Border parameter adds an outline around the text in a set color and thickness. The border color is entered as a hex code. The border thickness is set in the Border width field. A border improves text legibility on backgrounds of varying colors.
Effects#
-
Reflection – adds a mirror reflection below the text.
-
Shadow – adds a drop shadow behind the text.
Position and dimensions#
-
Position – the X and Y coordinates determine the layer’s placement on the canvas in pixels. The layer can also be moved by dragging it directly on the canvas.
-
Dimensions – the width and height of the text field in pixels.
-
Rotation – the layer’s rotation in degrees, adjustable with a slider or numerically.
FAQ#
Can I use more than one text layer in a single template?#
Yes. Each text layer is independent and has its own settings. For example, you can combine a layer with the product name, a layer with the price, and a layer with a promotional label, each with different typography and placement.
Can I change the font to a custom one, such as my company’s font?#
The available fonts are the ones offered in the extension’s interface. If you’d like to use a custom font, write to us at support@feedimageeditor.com.
How do I keep text legible on product images with varying colors?#
The most reliable solution is combining colored text with a contrasting border – for example, white text with a dark border, or vice versa. Alternatively, you can add a semi-transparent colored area as a separate background layer beneath the text layer.
Can I rotate a text layer to any angle?#
Yes. The Rotation slider lets you rotate the layer to any angle, for example for diagonal labels in the corner of the image.
