Use this interactive demo to learn how to flow text around images and shapes in Canva.

Quick summary

Wrapping text in Canva lets you flow copy around images and shapes for polished, professional-looking designs. Using the Effects panel and the Curve shape option, you can achieve text wrapping in just a few steps directly inside the Canva editor.


Steps

  1. On the edit toolbar, choose 'Elements' to open the elements panel.
  2. Use the search bar to find the image or shape you want to wrap text around.
  3. Add the image or shape you like to your canvas.
  4. Choose a simple image to keep the text wrapping process quick and easy.
  5. On the edit toolbar, select 'Text' to open the text options.
  6. Add your preferred text styles to the canvas.
  7. Click on 'Effects' in the toolbar to begin wrapping your text.
  8. Go to 'Shape' and click on 'Curve' to apply the wrap effect.
  9. Adjust your text wrapping using the available controls to fine-tune the layout.
  10. Your text wrapping in Canva is complete and ready to use.

📌 Why this matters

Canva does not offer a native text wrap feature, making it a commonly searched workaround for designers and content creators. Knowing how to use the Effects panel and Curve shape to simulate text wrapping unlocks more dynamic, editorial-style layouts without needing external tools. This technique is especially valuable for social media graphics, presentations, and marketing materials where visual hierarchy matters. Mastering text wrapping in Canva helps users produce polished designs faster, directly inside a tool they already use every day.
