Convert text to vector paths

You can convert any text layer into a vector network. In vector editing mode, you cannot be able to edit the text or modify any properties related to the text. The edits you can make include:

  • Customize the glyphs of a font.
  • Create logos.
  • Reduce the size of files or exported content.
  • Flatten multiple paths into a single layer.

Motiff supports Flatten or Outline stroke as two ways to convert text into vectors.

Tip: When you need to merge multiple text layers into one vector network, you can use the Flatten feature.

Flatten or outline text

  1. 1.Select the text layer you want to convert to a vector. 'Convert text to vector paths-1.png'
  2. 2.Right-click and choose Flatten or Outline stroke.

Tips: Use keyboard shortcuts to flatten or outline text layers.

  • Flatten
    • macOS: ⌘ Command + E
    • Windows: Ctrl + E
  • Outline
    • macOS: ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + O
    • Windows: Ctrl + Shift + O
  1. 3.After flattening, the text layer will be converted from editable text to a vector network. 'Convert text to vector paths-2.png'
  2. 4.Double-click the layer to enter vector editing mode. 'Convert text to vector paths-3.png'

Notes: If you mistakenly perform the action of flatten or outline, you can undo it with shortcuts:

  • macOS: ⌘ Command + Z
  • Windows: Ctrl + Z

Or, you can restore the file from Version history.
