How to Curve Text in Canva
This is a quick tutorial showing you how to curve text in Canva and design an easy yet cool-looking round logo. The tutorial walks-through the basics of making the curved text in Canva and how to customize it.
Though you can download the PNG design when you're done, Canva does not allow transparent background download on the free plan which is a bummer, especially because curved text is usually... well... curved. So, that makes it difficult to use if you want to place it over an existing design.
Canva Curved Text Alternative
That's why I'm also showing you an alternative curved text generator called MockoFun.
PNG download with transparent background is available on the FREE plan. And, it has a quick tool and a canvas tool similar to Canva. And my personal opinion is that MockoFun's curved text tool is better than Canva, a lot better.
You must try out all the curved text shapes it has. I especially love the handles it has for adjusting the curve settings for the circle text, arc text, oval text, heart shaped text, etc.
Which curved text tool do you like best? Canva or MockoFun? My pick is definitely MockoFun.
