How To Wrap Text Around A Circle with Photoshop

Today's tutorial is for those of you who may be looking to get your feet wet with Adobe Photoshop. In this lesson I'll be demonstrating how you can wrap text around a circle with Photoshop -- both inside and outside of a circle. This is something that even a first-time user of Photoshop can follow along with.

One of the best tutorials because 1) Simply explained, 2) No fluff, 3) Just long enough to demonstrate the technique, 4) No background music, 5) I had no idea this functionality existed! Thank you

[@deadhouse3889]

Someone that's knows what they are talking about and is direct to the point. A rarity on KZbin.

[@toilijuma5748]

I have used photoshop for years being a KZbin student and freelancing for major Companies and I really appreciate this tutorial. It would surprise many people because the things they take for granted limit their design creativity. Imagine a senior designer not knowing how to perform this task ? I am very grateful for this piece. Inshalla

[@ronbudenich2113]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...best simple tutorial! Made my job a little easier!

[@naimrashid3908]

Thanks ! Finally a video without silly music or a confusing mute presentation.

[@OCDTraci]

This is exactly what I needed. Watched in Aug 2023. Thank you!!!

[@bendavidomri]

I like that a tutorial casuly runs through all different important tools and tricks but it still feels like one single thing is achived. thanks!!

[@ashchan30]

This is THE MOST INTUITIVE TUTORIAL IVE EVER SEEN THANK YOU!! Edit: if you guys want your bottom text to be on the outside of the circle like the thumbnail, all you have to do is duplicate the text, change the end points until its inside the circle (or just drag it in the circle as he shows you) go to windows>character> and adjust the Baseline shift option to - whatever fits. (Left bottom) Bam!

[@DONTWATCHTHATYEAH]

I have zero patience when it comes to photoshop and tutorial videos but this, I followed your steps and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

[@dr.mailman]

Man do I love Photoshop tutorials, theyre always straight to the point with no extra bs. All tutorials should be held to this same standard.

[@shakejones]

Great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

[@unastasia]

Right on time. I didn't know how to get the bottom text to do that, so thanks heaps!

[@kathycferguson]

You have the best, quickest, clearest tutorial about this subject. Thanks.

[@tazman622]

I appreciate your video on Wrapping Text...with this knowledge I actually reworked an entire graphic's text layout and it looks awesome! Thanks for the help!

[@Blade92776]

Wow. No obnoxious background music. Articulate English. Current and informative. Thank you sir.

[@CoachNick]

and no unnecessary intro!

[@PaddyNinja]

Thank you Nick. This is a bloody good tutorial. I've listened to several videos prior to this one and some of them actually made it seem more complicated. Where as your tutorial made it seem so easy.

[@Fermifire]

FYI I don't know about old versions of PS, but with PS 2021, you can legit double click on your canvas with the ellipse tool and set it from center and size without using the pink guides or holding shift, in other words it makes a perfectly centered circle in the smack dab middle of the canvas. 😊

[@chereiserolle8567]

I am in agreement with everyone. Your video is the only video that explains it simple. I so appreciate you taking the time. Awesome.

[@flickmew99]

[@Marco858636]

Got right to the biz, no subscribe begging and I learned more functions from photoshop. +like and +subscribe from this guy. Awesome video.

[@maggieread6236]

Hi... I'm new to photoshop and following along with this. I fully understand all your instructions and I've gotten everything so far, but when I click on text to create type my cursor does not change and therefore does not type in a circular pattern. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm using CS6 - does that matter? I also noticed my ellipse does not have the solid line and points at each point, and mine is just a selection that goes away as soon as I hit the type key.

[@fjh5249]

This is my problem too!!! Please help guys

[@MistyBlueJudah]

I’m having the same EXACT problem please someone help out

[@HeartSoulLeake]

Excellent Refresher. Thank you very much

[@GetOutandKayakMalta]

After I make my line, and switching to Text mode and hovering over the line, my icon does not change...any help out there?

[@HeartSoulLeake]

Try to slide and hold the mouse directly over the circle line for a second, and see if that fixes the issue. 👉🏿🚫

[@C.P.C3719]

Thank you. This was exactly the help I needed with PS

[@razeysy610]

Very good information Very useful 👍 trick 👍👍👍👍👍 From india

[@DariaOffin]

Great help! Thank you! Unfortunately, no matter how many times I retried the bottom line, with no changes to the font or settings from the top line, the text always appeared LOWER than the circle... And no idea why or how to change it... :(

[@visionarypirates]

thanks man youre a godsend

[@navid3040]

[@MM-cs3yz]

[@BLiTz5]

Thank you for this. Great video.

[@shrs.3448]

To the point and very very very useful - thank you so much

[@CamilleBigeault]

Thank you for that simple and clear tutorial! Is there a tool we can use to be sure that our words are placed exactly in the middle of the circle line (on bottom and on top)?

[@adibahrsl]

just to share what i learned recently. to make a quick guide line, click ctrl + r to enable ruler. Then just click anywhere on the ruler and drag toward anywhere the line you desire. if you want it to be on center, just slowly drag the line towards the center and it will automatically snap the line ^^ applicable to horizontal and also vertical :)
