3. Adjust Size and Position: Resize your text and position it on the canvas to your liking.

Adding Depth and Shadows

1. Duplicate the Text Layer: Tap on the text layer, then duplicate it by selecting the duplicate option. This will help create the 3D effect.
2. Offset the Duplicate: Move the duplicate layer slightly to the side and down to create a shadow effect. Adjust the color of the duplicated text to a darker shade for better contrast.
3. Blur the Shadow: Select the blurred shadow option from the effects menu to give it a softer appearance.

Color and Texture Effects

1. Color Fill: Select the original text layer and choose a vibrant color that complements your design.
2. Gradient Effects: For more depth, apply gradient fills. Navigate to the color options and select the gradient feature, adjusting the colors to create a visually appealing effect.
3. Textures: To make your text stand out, consider adding texture. You can import images or patterns as textures and apply them to your text layer.

Exporting Your Design

Once you're satisfied with your 3D text design, it’s time to export it. Click on the export icon and select your desired format (e.g., PNG or JPEG). Choose the quality settings based on your needs, and save your design to your device.
