FAQ: How Can I Rotate a Layer?

Use the "Angle" feature in the text and image layer editors to rotate content.

Text and images can be rotated in the Studio compose environment using the "Angle" feature.  The feature works a bit differently depending on whether or not the layer is text or an image.

Using Angle for Text Layers

For text layers, the Template Composer types in a number for the angle. For example , typing in "90" will rotate the text layer clockwise by 90° and typing in "-90" will rotate the text layer counter-clockwise by 90°.  The text box will rotate based on the value entered, which can be any number. When the Text Layer modal is closed, the box will rotate around the center point of the text layer. The Template Composer may have to hand-position the text layer after rotation.

Using Angle for Image Layers

For image layers, the Template Composer selects from a drop-down menu of angle options. The options are 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. Once the angle is selected and the Image Layer modal is closed, the image and image box will rotate around the center point of the image layer.
