Styling & Formatting
How to style elements to achieve the exact look you want.
The Inspector Panel
Select any element on the canvas and the Inspector panel on the right shows all its configurable properties. Changes apply immediately on the canvas.
Position & Size
For precise placement, use the numeric inputs instead of dragging:
| Property | What It Controls |
|---|---|
| X | Horizontal position from the left edge of the page |
| Y | Vertical position from the top edge of the page |
| Width | Element width |
| Height | Element height |
All values are in points (1 point = 1/72 inch). An A4 page is 595 × 842 points.
Typography (Text & Field Elements)
| Property | Options |
|---|---|
| Font Family | Inter, Roboto, Open Sans, system fonts, and more |
| Font Size | 8–120 px |
| Font Weight | Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold |
| Text Color | Any color via picker or hex input |
| Text Align | Left, Center, Right, Justify |
| Line Height | Controls spacing between lines of text |
| Letter Spacing | Controls spacing between characters |
| Text Transform | None, Uppercase, Lowercase, Capitalize |
| Text Decoration | None, Underline, Strikethrough |
Colors & Backgrounds
Click any color field to open the color picker. You can:
- Pick visually from the color wheel
- Enter a hex code (e.g.,
#1a1a1a) - Adjust the alpha slider for transparency
Both text color and background color support transparency, which is useful for overlays and watermarks.
Borders
Add borders to any element:
- Width — Border thickness in pixels
- Color — Any color
- Style — Solid, Dashed, or Dotted
- Radius — Rounded corners (set each corner individually or all at once)
Opacity
The opacity slider controls how transparent an element is. Use this for watermark text, background images, or decorative elements that sit behind content.
Styling Tips
- Use 1–2 font families max for a professional look
- Stick to a consistent color palette — your brand colors work best
