GIMP Tutorial: Wrap Text Around A Circle

[@lreichlin99]

I love the simplicity of Gimp! It's unbeaten! Only 237 steps to create text around a circle.

[@corvette724]

jep :-)

[@johnl2081]

Price we pay 4 a free app that can go everything

[@bubbabuhe9745]

Agree, it's needlessly complicated.

[@Palamatar]

@@bubbabuhe9745 It's either you pay for simplicity or go free and have to do the extra steps. It's the same with LibreOffice vs Microsoft Office.

You are still holding up as the best explanation and method of creating text to path in 2023. You are timeless Bro! Godd job, and thanks.

[@GolfFoxtrotCharlie-gfc]

Gimp really needs to make an easier way to do this. This is beyond complicated, but thanks for the tutorial. You made this super easy to follow.

[@barrycentric4461]

Still my GIMP gets half way through and then simply refuses to fill the text with foreground colour. I am beginning to suspect the project has been sabotaged.

[@chrinamint]

It is notoriously overcomplicated working with text at all in Gimp. It's one of the things I hate about it but yeah we love our free software! I don't get how they did so well in emulating some of photoshops stuff and commands and then in other ways they went to complete opposite direction. It makes it very difficult for anyone who has used Photoshop to now try to use Gimp and do the same stuff. I just don't understand why it's like this. I do appreciate its existence though, along with the existence of those like Nick who give us these tutorials. Because it is not at all user-friendly or easily figure-out- a-ble. We absolutely need these tutorials!

[@Splarkszter]

It's open source, if you guys think it needs something, do it, or pay someone to do it.

[@bl8388]

@@chrinamint Yeah I find I frequently go between GIMP and other free apps to then put text in.

[@hollytasker2440]

And another frustrating thing... if you decide your text isn't long (stretched) enough, or the right size, you can't alter it after anchoring it to a path. You have to start all over again.

[@cherylccr]

I go so long between needing to wrap text that I follow this video every time. Thank you for making it. And so succinctly too, without a lot of rambling or preamble.

[@alessandrocwilliam]

It would be great that Gimp team would came up with and easier and faster way to do something so common like this. It always amazed me that they haven't came up with a specific tool for this or a feature on the text tool. Other free and far inferior softwares can do this easier. Very good tutorial Nick!

[@LogosByNick]

Agreed. Wrapping text around shapes is much easier with Inkscape.

[@Trabucco0]

If only some people spent less money on Photoshop and more on Gimp then Gimp would be much better.

[@alessandrocwilliam]

@@Trabucco0 Gimp it's already amazing to be a free software. You can do almost all what Photoshop can do with it. Some stuff is easier to make than Photoshop and others stuff are harder. But something so common like this is really strange that it has not been improved already. Many other free softwares unknown are able to do it and easier.

[@Trabucco0]

AX System I know. I am using Gimp on a regular basis. But Gimp could be better in respect to all aspects. And I was addressing those who always complain that gimp is so bad while photoshop is so cool. If they would support the project with some money gimp would be better soon.

[@larryhieb4748]

I couldn't agree more

[@blankstkk]

For the ones who text are upside down. You have to "flip" path. When you have the Flip tool selected make sure you select "Path" (next to "Transform’) in the tool options. Otherwise, the text will not flip. You can find flip under transform tools.

[@Jennifer-oh1wr]

Thanks

[@ekimnamtnuts]

I flipped the path but the text has ended up backwards. Any idea how to fix?

[@acid_519]

I have no idea what you're saying. Where do you use this tool, when, and how?

[@heybobby666]

For anyone still wondering how to deal with the upside down text: it’s explained very clearly in the latter half of the video. It’s a bit different on Mac, and the Flip tool options are on the right side of your screen above the Layers. There you can select to Flip the Path and your bottom text will show up correctly.

[@LaxM]

@@ekimnamtnuts He does show this in the video (5:45) but for anyone like myself that was to impatient to watch, the circle path is the one that needs to be flipped, not the text path.

[@mariabowie1838]

This one! Easy to follow. If you hit a snag, pause/reverse and see where he clicks on the various icons. Then just follow along. Thank you three times infinity!

[@uniunissa]

I started learning GIMP just few weeks ago and thats exactly what I do with tutorials. It takes long time to make photo, always pausing and following in GIMP, but its good way to learn.

[@SailorSolarStar1]

Just wanted to say how grateful we are to you making this video! It helped us complete a school project for my daughter on google slides! Thank you for this!

[@maniwyatt6559]

FYI: what was left out of this tutorial is how to set the rotation tool in case it doesn't rotate around the circle the way you want it to. The rotate tool has a center point; place center cross hair of the rotation tool in the center of the rotation that will determine whether the text will rotate smoothly around the circle. You can also remove all the grid lines inside the rotation tool by the adjusting the number of lines, If you don't want to see grid lines reduce the number of lines to 1. I hope it helps you it took me a bit to figure it out.

[@acid_519]

This is driving me insane. I have no idea why this was omitted from the video. How do you adjust the center point BEFORE rotation begins? If I drag the point after it fails to rotate properly, it screws up the image by making text cutouts in the wrong area. This app is beyond frustrating.

[@DeltaFoxtrotZulu]

An important step I learned I didn't notice in this excellent tutorial. The height of the text box controls how it wraps on the circle. So if you're using more dynamic fonts and lower case letters that go below the line, you need to make sure both top and bottom text boxes are the same height to get consistent placement on the circle.

[@thomassilva5203]

THANK YOU for clarifying this!

[@noducks6279]

I've been using Gimp for well over a decade and never knew this was possible... Thank you!

[@africansoul80]

The beginning of 2022 and still find this tutorial very value, very useful. Thank you

[@user-tf6kq9hr6s]

I've experimented for so long because I didn't know why the text would not wrap like I wanted... until I finally got it, thanks for sharing this with other people, Nick.

[@shanePip]

Same! I've been trying to do this for such a long time!

[@barrycentric4461]

GIMP I think falls into the category of user UNFRIENDLY

[@christins.1481]

OMG!!!!!! You are a saint! It seriously seemed so complicated. I was looking at photo apps. What I could find for easy wrap text you had to pay to save as a PNG file. I finally caved in and gave your video a try. Was a lot of pausing and switching to my GIMP program but it actually wasn't that complicated. I was done before I knew! I stopped on your video because others were using the path tools to to warp and create a circle. Your video just flat out used the circle tool. Thank you!

[@felixnelsen5896]

You are my idol!!

[@TheKlownchez]

Thank you so much, this is all the steps I needed for my project, and without any filler dialogue about a billion other things you can do with GIMP

[@brentculshaw826]

There is absolutely no way I could have worked this out on my own - thank you!

[@juliabell5510]

Why does this have to be so difficult!!! I've been using gimp for 10 years, decided to come check if they came out with a simpler way to curve text yet....you know, because it's 2020 and it shouldn't take 10 minutes to wrap your text in a circle....but no. Still living in the dark ages over here. None the less, thanks for the new tutorial!

[@LogosByNick]

I hear you!

[@DavidNelsonATX]

If all you want is curved text around a circle the easiest way is to go to File > Create > Logos > Text Circle (GIMP 2.8.14).

[@kwaskoff]

@@DavidNelsonATX I haven't Logos in my Gimp

[@desktorp]

it doesn't take 10 minutes.. once you know how to do it, it takes like 1 minute.

[@dian-therealmothergoose8239]

The detailed step by step instructions were very helpful for my first time doing this. It becomes a quick and easy process after doing it a few times.

Dude I’ve been watchin at least one video of yours a day with this shelter in place goin on and my skill set has increased drastically, thank you!

[@VayaconChupacabra]

Whew! Thanks For this one! I needed a crash course in how to wrap text along a radius and this was it! I have successfully completed this weekends Honey-Can-You-Do-This-For-Me task!

[@randallhardin3216]

Nick, thank you for this tutorial. You make things so much easier and I appreciate that you narrate instead of blasting "techno-music" in the back ground:) I do see a lot of negative comments about the software and I am sure that there is something out there better for this specific function, but this is free and can do so many things. I come to see videos like this because in addition to being complicated, the documentation is not that great. So for what it is worth, thank you for putting this and other videos out there. I come back to this tutorial over and over because time between doing projects are spaced out and there are so many times I try and say, "WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING!!??". Queue "Logos by Nick". Again, thank you!

[@okotray4577]

THanks a lot, it took me 2 hours to apply the steps correctly to get my desired result

[@Snewman513]

Awesome tutorial! But since this is a strangely complicated procedure, I typed out the steps for anyone who needs it (I know I do!): - Create new doc (ideally square as this will create a perfect axis around which you can rotate your text) 1. File > New 2. Fill with: Background Color - Add vertical and horizontal guides (if you want the circle to be perfectly centered on the canvas) 1. Image > Guides > New Guide (by Percent) > Direction: Vertical, Position: 50% 2. Image > Guides > New Guide (by Percent) > Direction: Horizontal, Position: 50% 3. View > Snap to Guides - Create circular path 1. Open Ellipse Select Tool 2. Click on center of guides, drag outward and hold Ctrl and Shift to center the circle and assure it's perfectly centered and circular 3. Select > To Path (this turns your circle into a path 4. Select > None (to deselect the circle) 5. Head over to your right-side toolbar and click the icon for the paths tab where you will see the new circular path you created 6. Click the eyeball to make the path visible, then go back to the layers tab - Create text and snap to circular path 1. Open text tool and create your text off to the side of the circle on the canvas 2. Select your text layer > Right click it > Text along Path (this will snap a copy of your text to the circle) 3. ***If you want your text along the top of the circle instead of the bottom, do this*** a. Open Flip tool > Transform: Click Path icon > click on the red circle on your canvas (you won't see anything happen but internally it reverses the direction of the path) b. Click back to the layer icon so it doesn't default to Path the next time you go to use it 4. Click the eyeball to turn off visibility of your text layer (since now you're just manipulating the text that's along the path instead) 5. At the bottom of the layers toolbar click the icon for new layer > Fill with: Transparency 6. Go back to the paths tab > You will see a new path you created and the title of the path will be your text > Right click it > Path to selection - Fill the text with color 1. Pick your color in the color selector 2. Edit > Fill with FG Color 3. Select > None 4. Delete the path as it is no longer needed: Either right click on it and delete or click the X icon at the very bottom of the layers toolbar - Rotate the text and place where desired along path 1. Open the Rotate tool > Grab the text and rotate along circle to desired placement > Hit Enter to finalize rotation 2. Adjust layer back to size of canvas: Layer (menu) > Layer to Image Size 3. If desired, go back to Paths icon in righthand toolbar and click the eyeball next to the circle path to turn off visibility of it (or delete if you want) - ***If you want there to be an actual permanent circle as part of the design, follow these final steps*** 1. Select the background layer > Right click it > Add Alpha Channel > Press Delete on keyboard to get rid of the background (now you have a transparency checkerboard background) 2. Open Ellipse Select Tool 3. Click on center of guides, drag outward and hold Ctrl and Shift to center the circle and assure it's perfectly centered and circular 4. Edit > Fill with BG color (so it's not the same color as your text which is using the FG color) 5. Select > None

[@fabiangabriel3325]

What Rose says! Thank you so much for this videos

[@mireazma]

I was expecting it to be much simpler. And just a mention: I'd recommend to first rotate the path/selection and do the filling after, otherwise the rotation will blur the rasterization.

[@ZuggyJ]

It won't let me move it before I fill it. How did you do it?

[@zamorano18x92]

same for me. when I try to rotate before the color filling it is not working. I actually tried on almost every step but it does not rotate on the path. would be much appreciated if you can share the info how you did that

Excellent tutorial, Nick. Helped me in creating a very cool logo! A nice hint is that when rotating the text you can also manually adjust its position around the circle - just in case the text position misaligns by rotating. Thank you!

How exactly?

@@kurtbbelt Adjusting the manual parameters of the Rotate tool. Once you select the tool you can see these parameters in the toolbox (shown as numbers, like for X and Y adjustment) and then you can manually adjust them clicking on the arrow up or arrow down. Once you find it, you will see it is quite simple.

Great tutorial. I realized that I need a better understanding of GIMP so I'm going to subscribe and check out some more of your tutorials. I use GIMP for converting images to black and white to transfer on to metal for etching. I have learned some really basic things through trial and error, but don't understand paths and layers well because I rarely need them. However, I am going to create some medallions with text wrapped around them so I guess I better learn some more basics. Thanks for sharing. I really like how you explain things and get right to the point.

Thanks Nick. Awesome Tutorial!

[@STeureka89]

You have such a great tutorial here. Very easy to understand, and very helpful. Thank You.

Thank you! I didn't know GIMP can work with paths

[@momzilla9491]

Hi Nick, I am really working hard to learn GIMP which for me is a big learning curve. I am at the point where Windows programs are just to limiting. When I last tried to learn photo editing, there wasn't much of a choice on KZbin to learn from. This is a great lesson for a Logo that I am hoping will show my Family Crest. I just became a Grandma for the first time, and want to welcome a sweet soul. Thank you so very much for teaching me this! I am right up to the ROTATE point, but I can't get my text to rotate. What key do I press, or keys do I press and hold together, after I have chosen ROTATE, to get my text to shift? LOL I am working on a laptop, and just discovered that if I press the center mouse after selecting MOVE, my text will move, but won't if I use left or right mouse! Perhaps you could add a "How to manipulate GIMP Tools for Dummies" lesson? If you could you tell me how to get a blacker black for the text, that would also be greatly appreciated! Again, thanks so much!
