How to Add Text in Rhinely and Turn Fonts into Rhinestone Designs

The Text Tool turns typed words into rhinestone artwork. This is one of the most useful tools in Rhinely because names, team words, initials, slogans, and short phrases are common rhinestone design requests.

1. Open the Text Tool

The Text Tool is on the left side of the Rhinely designer. Click it to open the text panel, then type the word or phrase you want to design.

2. Choose a Google Font

Rhinely uses Google Fonts, so you can browse many font styles directly inside the designer. If you find a font you expect to use again, click the star to add it to your favorites.

3. Adjust spacing, size, and style

Before adding text to the canvas, adjust letter spacing, line height, size, and available font weights such as normal, bold, or black. These settings matter because rhinestone text has to be readable and producible.

4. Add the text as rhinestones

When you click Add Text, Rhinely places the text on the canvas as a rhinestone form. The default is a grid format, but you can switch to Smart, Outline, Hexa, or Flexible.

5. Apply text effects

After text is on the canvas, an extra text effect button appears near the Text Tool. The sliders let you adjust curved, warped, or decorative text layouts until they fit the design.

6. Update text before breaking it apart

If the wording is wrong, double-click the text and update it. You can also right-click and break the text into individual letter forms, but once text is broken, it cannot be edited like normal text anymore.
