Venngage makes it easy to customize your text boxes for better contrast, readability, and overall design appeal.

Since text boxes have a transparent background, you can use a shape to create a colored background behind your text.

1. Add a text box to your design canvas, or select an existing one.

2. From the Icons section in the left sidebar, select Basic Shapes and choose a shape.

   

3. Resize the shape to fit behind your text.
4. Position the shape behind the text box.

5. Use the Layering tools to move the shape backward, behind the text.

   

6. Adjust the shape’s color, opacity, or fill using the Color Tool.

💡 Tip: Rounded shapes and soft colors work great for highlighting important text, quotes, or key information while keeping your design clean and readable.
