How to Make an Indent Line on Canva

This is an Arcade

Canva doesn’t have a built-in text indent feature like Word or Google Docs, but you can create indents manually using spacing or shapes. Here are the best ways.

1. Open Your Design in Canva

Go to Canva and open the project with the text you want to indent.

2. Add Manual Space for Indent

Click into the text box, place your cursor at the beginning of the line, and press the Spacebar or

Tab (on some browsers) to create an indent.

3. Use Text Spacing Adjustments

Select your text box, then click Spacing in the top toolbar. Adjust Line spacing and Letter spacing to refine the indent look.

4. Insert a Line or Shape (Optional)

To make a visual indent line, go to Elements, select a Line or Rectangle, and place it to the left of your paragraph for a styled indent effect.

5. Align for Consistency

Group the line with your text or duplicate the indent spacing to keep formatting consistent across multiple paragraphs.
