APIs and Text
The Edit Text endpoint supports editing one or more text layers within a PSD.
It enables users to:
- Format text properties such as antialias, orientation and be able to edit text contents. (Note: Changing only the text properties will not change any character/paragraph styling).
- Some of the key character properties that can be formatted include (but not limited to):
- Text treatments such as strikethrough, underline, fontCaps.
- Character size and color.
- Line and character spacing through leading, tracking, autoKern settings.
- All the paragraph properties are supported.
- Use custom fonts when specified through the options.fonts section in the API request body.
Usage Recommendations
- Ensure that the input file is a PSD and that it contains one or more text layers.
- Please refer to Font Handling and Handle Missing Fonts for a better understanding.
- You can find a code sample here.
Known Limitations
The API cannot automatically detect missing fonts in the layers. To prevent potential missing fonts from being replaced, please provide a href to the font(s) in the options.fonts section of the API. For more details on specifying custom fonts, please refer to the example section below.
