Consistent typography is what separates polished designs from messy ones. Apply a Text Style restyles any text layer in a single step: pick the layer, pick one of five presets — heading, subheading, body, caption, or quote — and the tool sets its size, weight, italics, alignment, and line height all at once.

The presets are tuned to work together: a 72px bold centered heading sits naturally above 40px subheadings and 24px left-aligned body text, with captions and italic quotes for the finishing touches. Apply the same presets across designs and your whole set looks like it came from one designer.

Styling never touches the wording — only how it looks. The text, font, color, and position stay exactly where they were.

How it works

  1. Choose a design — its text layers load into the layer dropdown and a preview renders.
  2. Pick the text layer you want to restyle.
  3. Choose a style preset: heading, subheading, body, caption, or quote.
  4. Click Apply style and watch the preview update.

Tips

  • Use each preset for its job: one heading per canvas keeps the hierarchy clear.
  • Quote style adds italics and centers the text — ideal for testimonials and pull quotes.
  • The style sets size but keeps your font and color; change those separately with the text tools.

What it costs

Free on this site — and it can't be metered. Apply a Text Style uses no AI and runs entirely in your browser: no usage counters, nothing sent to our servers to bill. When credit metering arrives in the app, local operations like this one will never consume AI credits — only server-side AI generations will.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does each preset change?

Font size, bold, italics, alignment, and line height. Heading is 72px bold centered; subheading 40px bold centered; body 24px regular left-aligned; caption 18px regular; quote 36px italic centered.

Will it change my text content?

No — only the styling. The words, font choice, color, and position are untouched.

Can I apply a style to non-text layers?

No. The layer dropdown only lists text layers; shapes and images can't take text styles.

How Apply a Text Style works, step by step

Restyle any text layer in one click — heading, subheading, body, caption, or quote presets set size, weight, and alignment.

1

Design

Duplicate before experimenting: the original stays safe while the copy takes risks. Archive finished designs instead of deleting — old work becomes tomorrow’s template.

Pro tip: Star the designs you’ll revisit weekly.

Text layer

The Text control is where the message lives. Short beats clever: if the headline needs explaining, rewrite it, don’t decorate it. Type the real words, not placeholders — design decisions change completely around real copy length.

Pro tip: Write the headline last — design the layout first, then fit honest words to it.

Style preset

Styles are curated decisions in one click — a heading preset bundles size, weight, and spacing that took a designer an hour to tune. Apply the preset first, then tweak: starting from good and adjusting beats starting from zero.

Pro tip: Caption and quote presets exist so you stop hand-tuning small text.

Workplace with artworks for inspiration of designer — Apply a Text Style technique
Let the photo do the talking around the words. Place text in the quiet zones of an image — skies, walls, blurred edges — and the photo becomes the layout. Make it part of your Apply a Text Style routine.

Avoid the traps

Three mistakes to avoid with Apply a Text Style

✕

Everything emphasized

Bold, color, size, and underline on the same words cancel each other out. Fix: pick one emphasis per element.

✕

Ignoring the safe zones

Platforms crop edges and cover corners with UI. Fix: keep critical content inside the central 80%.

✕

One design for every placement

A square post stretched into a story looks broken. Fix: resize deliberately for each destination.
