4 min read
You can customize the look of your text at any time in the Text Settings panel. Adjust options such as the size, fonts, and colors to keep providing visitors with the information they need to know in a unique, streamlined way.
In this article, learn more about customizing your text:

Changing the size of your text

Adjust your text size to suit your needs. We recommend using bigger sizes for titles and headings, and smaller sizes for text paragraphs. You can also choose to resize only part of the text in your text box (e.g. make a specific word bigger than the rest).

To change the text size:

  1. Select the relevant text box in your editor.
  2. Click Edit Text.
  3. (Optional) Highlight the specific word(s) you want to resize.
  4. Drag the Font size slider to resize the text, or enter a specific value between 6 and 999 pixels. 
The text settings panel is open. The cursor has selected the Font size slider.

Choosing a new font

Customize your content by changing the text font. Select from a variety of fonts provided by Wix, or upload your own. You can also choose a different font for a specific part of the text in your text box. 

To change your text font:

  1. Select the relevant text box in your editor.
  2. Click Edit Text.
  3. (Optional) Highlight the specific word(s) you want to show in a different font.
  4. Click the Fonts drop-down.
  5.  Do one of the following:
The Fonts dropdown menu of the text settings panel. The Montserrat font has been selected.
Important:
  • Wix has licenses for the fonts in the editor. They are available for digital use only, and within your Wix site. For more information, view the Wix Terms of Use
  • You cannot download the fonts to use, but you may find the open source versions and install them to your computer. Be careful with fonts found in external URLs. These are not owned by Wix, and you need to contact the author for permission to use them.

Changing the color of your text

Complement pages and sections by changing the text color. You can display different colors in a text box, or apply one color to the entire text.

To change the color of your text:

  1. Select the relevant text box in your editor.
  2. Click Edit Text.
  3. (Optional) Highlight the specific word(s) you want to show in a different color.
  4. Click the Color icon .
  5. Select the color you want from the panel.
  6. (Bulleted or numbered lists) Change the color of your bullet points or numbering:
    1. Highlight all the text in the text box, including the bullets or numbers.
    2. Select the color you want for the bullets or numbers.
      Note: All the text in the text box changes to the selected color.  
    3. Highlight the relevant text (without the bullets or numbers).
    4. Select the color you want for the text.
      Note: The text changes to the new color, but the bullets and numbers stay the color you chose in step b.
The color picker has been opened from the settings panel. Some of the text box has been changed to white.
