How to style an element in Orshot Studio

Select a layer and change its font, size, color, alignment and more from the Styles panel


Every element on your canvas — text, image, or shape — is a layer. Styling always works the same way: select the layer first, then edit it in the Styles panel on the right.

1. Select a layer#

Click any element directly on the canvas. Selection handles appear around it.

2. The Styles panel opens#

The right panel switches to Styles automatically, showing everything about the selected layer:

  • Position & Size — X/Y, width/height, rotation, layer order
  • Text Content — the text itself (for text layers)
  • Styles — color, font, alignment and effects

3. Change the styles#

For text layers you can adjust:

  • Text Color — hex value or color picker
  • Font Family / Size / Weight
  • Text Autofit — how text behaves when content changes (see the API angle: autofit keeps dynamic text inside its box)
  • Alignment, case, line height, letter spacing
  • Stroke, background and border

Panel looks empty?#

The Styles panel needs a selection. If nothing is selected, it lists your layers — pick one there or click it on the canvas.
