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

Styling for dynamic content
If this element will change via API, prefer Text Autofit: Fit with a minimum font size — long values then shrink to fit instead of overflowing.
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.
