Learn to add point and paragraph text in Adobe Photoshop to create professional flyers, posters, or magazines.

Add point text

Point text is a single, editable text layer that appears in a straight line without boundaries or a bounding box. It can include line breaks, and it works well for headlines, buttons, or simple annotations.

Select the Horizontal Type tool or the Vertical Type tool from the toolbar.

Select anywhere in the document and start typing to add point text.

A text layer is added in the Layers panel, and you can identify it with the Type icon.

Add paragraph text

Paragraph text is perfect for longer content, such as paragraphs and descriptions. It creates a bounding box around the text, allowing you to edit, resize, shape, and format entire paragraphs within a single layer.

Select the Horizontal Type tool or the Vertical Type tool from the toolbar.

Drag anywhere in the document to add paragraph text.

Use your own placeholder text

By default, Photoshop fills new text layers with placeholder text so you can preview fonts and layout right away. You can replace the default "Lorem ipsum" text with your own words, such as a pangram that shows every letter, a brand name, or a phrase in your language.

Select Edit > Preferences, then Type (Windows) or Photoshop > Settings, then Type (macOS).

In the Point Text field, enter the text you want for point text and text on a path.

In the Paragraph Text field, enter the text you want for paragraph text.

Select OK.

The next time you click the canvas with the Type tool, Photoshop adds point text. When you click and drag with the Type tool, Photoshop creates a text box and fills it with paragraph text. To go back to the default placeholder text, clear the field in Preferences. To add placeholder text to an existing text layer, select Type > Paste Placeholder Text.
