No more switching between Photoshop or Illustrator.
Italic, neon, stroke, and sticker designs — all in one canvas.
Same text — with and without italic
Want Chinese italic text, but Canva doesn't support it at all — you have to export to Photoshop, edit there, then paste it back into Canva
Text effects require two apps — Canva → Photoshop → save image → paste back into Canva. A messy, time-consuming workflow
Spent 10 minutes tweaking, and the result still looks off — if only you could do it all directly inside Canva
No need to leave Canva. Type text, adjust effects in the app panel, and add to your design with one click

Yes. FontFX is continuously maintained to ensure compatibility with the latest Canva versions. We build with the official Canva App SDK and follow Canva's API updates.
Canva doesn't natively support Chinese italic. The FontFX plugin lets you tilt Chinese text from 0° to 35° directly inside the Canva canvas, combined with stroke, neon, gradient and other effects — no need to switch to Photoshop or Illustrator.
Yes. FontFX uses Canva's App Element API, so text placed on the canvas retains full editing capability — click the element to reopen the app panel, where you can modify the text content, angle, effects, and all other parameters.
The biggest difference is efficiency and editability. The Photoshop workflow requires: export → open PS → apply effects → save image → paste back into Canva, taking about 5-10 minutes and producing a non-editable image. FontFX works directly inside Canva, finishes in 30 seconds, and placed text remains fully re-editable.
Yes. Text effects created with FontFX can be used for any commercial purpose, including social media posts, e-commerce product images, advertisements, YouTube thumbnails, and more. No usage restrictions or additional licensing required.
