When one part of your design isn’t working the way you expect, it can be frustrating—especially when it comes to text. Whether a font won’t load, the text looks blurry, or you need help with layout, we’ve put together a guide to help you troubleshoot the most common text issues in BeFunky.
Explore the sections below to find solutions to the most frequent text-related problems:
Blurry or Pixelated Text
If your text appears blurry, jagged, or pixelated, it can make your design look low-quality. This usually happens when working with a small canvas size, low-resolution images, or certain Font Styles and Font Weights that don’t scale well. Before finalizing your design, check your Image Size and overall resolution—using a larger canvas or higher-quality image will help maintain clarity, especially for print. You can also adjust the font in the Text Properties panel, as thin or decorative fonts may appear less crisp at smaller sizes. Switching to a slightly heavier weight or increasing the text size can instantly improve sharpness and readability. For a full step-by-step guide, visit How to Fix Blurry or Pixelated Text.
Text Alignment and Spacing
Text that feels uneven or poorly spaced can make your layout look cluttered. This often happens when relying only on manual adjustments, which can lead to inconsistent alignment or awkward gaps between lines and letters. For more precise control, use the Alignment options in the Text Properties panel to position your text exactly where you want it. You can also fine-tune Line Spacing and Letter Spacing to create balanced, easy-to-read layouts. Combined with on-canvas positioning and alignment guides, these tools help you achieve a clean, professional finish. For step-by-step instructions, visit Text Alignment and Spacing.
Fonts Not Displaying Correctly
If a font isn’t loading, appears different than expected, or won’t apply to your text, it can interrupt your workflow. This is often related to an unsupported file type, a compatibility issue with a custom font file, or an older font file. When uploading a custom font, confirm that it’s a supported file format. You can also browse and apply fonts from the built-in Font Library or connect to Google Fonts to ensure compatibility. Verifying you are using supported fonts will resolve most display issues.
