0:00
in this video I'm going to show you on
0:02
how you can add a background to text in
0:05
confa so this is one kind of editing
0:07
that is going to allow the text to be
0:09
visible when it is placed on top of a
0:13
picture or an area that has more or less
0:15
the same color as the text so for
0:18
example I have this picture and as you
0:20
can see this text is barely visible you
0:22
can still see it but it's not going to
0:25
be very visible uh to a lot of people
0:27
especially if you are they're not uh
0:29
adjusting the screen brightness this
0:32
text is basically invisible so we want
0:34
to add background and therefore the text
0:36
is going to be more visible now there
0:38
are two methods that you can try first
0:40
method is by adding some effects to this
0:43
text so you can click on a text box
0:45
click effects and after that you want to
0:47
click background and here you as you can
0:49
see we got this nice black background
0:52
you can change the color to whatever
0:54
color that you want for example I'm
0:56
going to be using green I think it looks
0:59
great and after that you can adjust the
1:01
spread you can adjust the roundness
1:03
which is the edges of the background and
1:06
the best thing about this method is that
1:07
it's going to adapt automatically to
1:09
your uh text so if you add something
1:12
else it will adjust automatically and I
1:15
think this is really cool so that was
1:17
for the first method the second method
1:19
is a bit tricky but I do uh personally I
1:22
use that many times uh when the first
1:25
method is not applicable so the second
1:27
method is really just by adding uh shape
1:30
behind this picture so let's go to
1:32
elements and I'm going to be using a
1:35
simple square shape like this one or you
1:38
can also use this rounded Square it's
1:40
totally up to you let's go with square
1:43
and after that I'm going to change the
1:45
to uh maybe green again and I'm going to
1:51
accordingly and there you go you can
1:53
also for example you can also uh change
1:57
the color into to gradient I think it
2:00
looks really cool if you're using
2:01
gradient so yeah that is another thing
2:04
that you can do if you're using this
2:06
method and also if you for example if
2:09
you see the image sorry the shape is
2:12
blocking the text all you need to do is
2:14
you have to right click layer and click
2:17
Send backward and it will immediately
2:19
push back and it will be placed behind
2:22
the Tex which is something that we want
2:24
anyway that is how you can add
2:26
background to text in canva
