Text Modes

Text modes in Orshot Studio control how text behaves when it doesn't fit within its container dimensions. There are three modes available: Fit, Truncate, and Overflow

Text Mode Options

Overflow Mode (Default)

Text flows naturally and may extend beyond the container boundaries.

Use when:

• You want natural text wrapping
• Container size can accommodate all content
• Overflow is acceptable in your design

Fit Mode

Automatically adjusts font size to fit text within the container while maintaining readability.

Use when:

• Text must fit within fixed container dimensions
• Font size can vary based on content length
• You want to maximize text size while preventing overflow

Configuration:

• Min Font Size: Set the minimum font size (default: 8px) to maintain readability

Truncate Mode

Displays as many complete lines as possible within the container and adds ellipsis (...) to indicate truncated content

Use when:

• Container dimensions are fixed
• Font size must remain consistent
• You want to show maximum content with clear truncation indication

Setting Text Modes

1. Select a text element in your template
2. In the Styles panel, find the Text Mode dropdown
3. Choose from: Overflow, Fit, or Truncate
4. For Fit mode, optionally set the Min Font Size

API Usage

When generating images via API, text modes are automatically applied based on your template configuration. No additional parameters required - the text processing happens during image generation

{
  "templateId": "your-template-id",
  "data": {
    "title": "Your dynamic text content"
  }
}

The text will be processed according to the mode you configured in the Studio editor
