Tips to wrap text in Canva
Here are a few helpful tips to get the curve and wrap you want.
1. Adjust the shape of your text box
Click on the side handles of your text box and drag it around to wrap your text in the shape you want.
In this case, I have made it a more vertical type of text box compared to a horizontal one which I started with.
A more vertical text box will give a different wrapping than a horizontal text box.
2. Change the size of your text box
Click on the edges of your text box to wrap text into the size you want.
In this example, I have dragged the edges to reduce the size of my text.
Changing the size of your text will also help you fine-tune your design to get the text wrapping you want to achieve.

So, the short answer is that you CAN’T wrap text around an image, the way you can in, say, Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Illustrator, or any other halfway decent publishing software.
You can do text wrapping, but it’s also true, you can’t do plenty of things with Canva that you can do with Illustrator. AI is a much more sophisticated tool, and Canva is meant more for non-designers. Read the full differences of the 2 tools in this post: http://weignitegrowth.com/canva-vs-illustrator
