Adjust letter and line spacing in your text boxes to make your design more readable and visually balanced. Whether you’re fine-tuning a title or improving paragraph layout, Venngage makes it easy to control text spacing directly on the canvas.

What is Letter Spacing?

Letter spacing controls the space between individual characters in a word or line. Increasing letter spacing makes text appear more open and airy, while decreasing it brings characters closer together for a tighter look.

What is Line Spacing?

Line spacing, also known as line height, determines the amount of space between lines of text. Adjusting it can make long paragraphs easier to read or help titles stand out.

How to Adjust Letter and Line spacing

1. Select your text box.
   Click on the text you want to adjust. A bounding box will appear around it.

2. Open the Text Style menu.
   From the top toolbar, click the Letter Spacing icon.

   

3. Adjust Letter Spacing.

   • Use the Letter Spacing slider or input box to increase or decrease the space between characters.

     

   • Positive values spread letters apart.

   • Negative values tighten the spacing.

4. Adjust Line Spacing.

   

   • Use the Line Spacing (Line Height) slider or input box to increase or decrease the distance between lines of text.

     

   • Larger values add more space between lines; smaller values make lines closer together.

Tips for Better Readability

💡 Keep it balanced: Too much letter spacing can make text hard to read; too little can make it feel cramped.

💡 Use tighter spacing for headlines: It gives a bold, compact look.

💡 Increase line spacing for body text: Helps longer text blocks feel lighter and more inviting.

Reset to Default Spacing

To reset letter or line spacing back to default, simply set both sliders to 0.

✨ With just a few clicks, you can customize text spacing to match your design’s style—ensuring your message is not only seen but read clearly.
