Text Maker is Gone 🥲 Here Are 10 Powerful Canva Text Apps to Use Instead
Canva recently removed its beloved Text Maker app 🥲 but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
Here are 10 Canva text apps that can help you achieve effects similar to (or even better than) Text Maker.
1. FontStudio
Layer your text with dynamic shadows, gradients, and image fills. Choose from a range of text templates, adjust letter spacing, add multiple color options, and even replace colors with images. An excellent choice if you want textured, layered text.
2. TypeWarp
Wrap your text into waves, spirals, or custom shapes. This free app gives you control over the wave height and shape of your text, making it great for creative layouts that need a playful twist.
3. TypeCutout
Fill your text with images to create a modern cutout effect. Simply select your image, adjust its position and scale, and the app will integrate it seamlessly into your text design.
4. Font Frame
Similar to TypeCutout, but with the added option of customizable borders. You can choose frame thickness and color to add a stylish outline around your image-filled text.
5. TypeExtrude
Add realistic depth and shadow effects to make your text pop. Customize the extrude length, adjust shadow settings, and create a 3D look that really stands out on your designs.
6. TypeLettering (Pro only)
Access a beautiful collection of text templates with layered effects. Although it’s available exclusively for Pro users, it offers great options for sophisticated, multi-layered text styles.
7. TypeCraft (Pro only)
Fully customize your text with bending, twisting, and warping options. Use draggable mirror points to achieve perfect symmetry or creative asymmetry—ideal for unique, tailored text design.
