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:
- Select the relevant text box in your editor.
- Click Edit Text.
- (Optional) Highlight the specific word(s) you want to resize.
- Drag the Font size slider to resize the text, or enter a specific value between 6 and 999 pixels.
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:
- Select the relevant text box in your editor.
- Click Edit Text.
- (Optional) Highlight the specific word(s) you want to show in a different font.
- Click the Fonts drop-down.
- Do one of the following:
- Select a Wix font.
- Click Upload Fonts to upload your own font.
- Click Add Languages to add a language font.
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.
