Using Text in Your Photo Project

You can add custom text to any page of your photo book, calendar, or card using the Text tools available in the right-hand panel in Mimeo Photos.


Add a New Text Box

To insert a new text box into your layout:

  1. Click the Text tab from the right-hand panel.

  2. Select Add Empty Text Box.

  3. A resizable text box will appear directly on the page.

You can click and drag the box to move it anywhere in your layout.

Typing with Inline Text

With our updated Inline Text feature, editing is more seamless than ever. You now type directly into the text box—no pop-up editor required.

Here’s how it works:

  • Text boxes are in Transform mode by default.

  • To start typing, click inside the text box to activate the cursor.

  • Click anywhere outside the box to exit typing mode.

To style your text:

  1. Click once on the text box to reveal text options.

  2. Select the Style button from the text box controls.

  3. Use the Text panel in the right-hand menu to customize:

    • Font type

    • Text size

    • Bold, italics, underline

    • Text color

    • Text alignment

    • Outline color


Moving or Resizing the Text Box

To adjust the size or position of a text box:

  1. Click once on the text box.

  2. Select Transform from the text box options.

  3. Use your mouse to:

    • Resize by dragging any corner or side
