How to Create Speech Bubbles in Photoshop

Learn how to create and edit fun speech bubbles in Photoshop using custom shapes.

Knowing how to create speech bubbles in Photoshop can be very useful as they can be used for all sorts of designs. Maybe you need a speech bubble for a comic book or manga, a pop art poster, or just for a sticker design. We’ll show you how to load, edit the appearance, and add text to speech bubble shapes that come with Photoshop.

How to Create Speech Bubbles in Photoshop

For this tutorial, we used a bold comic font called Raging. If you’re creating a comic or pop art style design, you can find some really good color palettes on Design Bundles, such as this psychedelic color palette .

Step 1 - Load Legacy Shapes if Needed

You'll have to do this step if you’ve never loaded the legacy shapes before. Open the Shapes panel (Window > Shapes), click the menu button at the top right of the panel, and select Legacy Shapes and More .

Load legacy shapes via the Shapes panel menu in Photoshop

The Legacy Shapes and More folder will be added to the end of the list in the Shapes panel.

Step 2 - Create Speech Bubble Path

Select the Custom Shape Tool (U) from the left toolbar, and choose Path from the dropdown in the Options bar at the top. Then select a speech bubble shape in the Options bar or the Shapes panel (Window > Shapes).

Note: the speech bubble shapes are located by going to the following folders, Legacy Shapes and More>All Legacy Default Shapes >Talk Bubbles .

Select Custom Shape Tool, Path, and the custom shape to use

With your speech bubble shape selected, click + drag on the canvas to create your speech bubble path.

Add a fill to the speech bubble path.

First, click the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel . Then double-click on the layer name and change it to Fill . Next, select either the Path Selection Tool (A) or Direct Selection Tool (A), right-click on the canvas, and choose Fill Path .

Create a new layer, right-click using the Path/Direct Selection Tool, and select Fill Path

Add an Outline to the Speech Bubble

Create a new layer and rename it to Outline . Then open the Brushes panel (Window > Brushes), and select the brush you’d like to use to create the speech bubble outline. Change the brush size in the Brushes panel if needed.

You can modify the brush even more with the advanced brush settings in the Brush Settings panel.

Step 4 - Add Text

Select the Horizontal Type Tool (T), click outside the speech bubble shape, and enter your text.

Enable Free Transform (Ctrl/Cmd + T) to resize the text using the bounding box handles and move the text by clicking + dragging . Press Enter to commit the changes.

You can also change the settings in the Character and Paragraph panels to further edit the text.

You can take it one step further and also add layer styles to the text layer to enhance your design. We added a Color Overlay, Stroke, and Drop Shadow layer style to the text layer to create what you see in the image below.

By Tata Rossi 22 days ago, Software Reviews

how to create a speech bubble in photoshop

Speech bubbles come in handy in various designs. Whether you're working on a comic book, manga, pop art poster, or even a sticker design, it may be necessary to include word bubbles in your project.

STEP 1. Load Legacy Shapes

If you haven't uploaded legacy shapes yet, you should start with this step. Open the Shapes panel (Window > Shapes), hit the menu button in the upper side of the panel, and choose Legacy Shapes and More .

You'll find the Legacy Shapes and More folder at the bottom of the list in the Shapes panel. But keep in mind that this feature is only accessible if you're using the most recent version of Photoshop.

STEP 2. Create Speech Bubble Path

Click on the Custom Shape Tool (or hit U for instant access) in the toolbar on the left, and pick "Path" from the dropdown in the Options bar. After that, go for a speech bubble shape by navigating to the Options bar or the Shapes panel (Window > Shapes) under Legacy Shapes and More > All Legacy Default Shapes > Talk Bubbles.

Select the shape style that suits your picture content, depending on whether you want to create memes, make designs, or draw manga in Photoshop .

STEP 3. Place the Shape on the Canvas

After choosing your speech bubble shape, click and drag on the canvas to form the path for your speech bubble.

STEP 4. Add a Fill to the Path

When you add speech bubble to image, you first need to click the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. After that, double-click on the layer name and switch it up to Fill. Following that, choose either the Path Selection Tool (A) or the Direct Selection Tool (A), right-click on the canvas, and choose the Fill Path option.

While in the Fill Path dialog, choose Foreground Color . The color doesn’t matter much right now. We’ll guide you on how to modify it later. At this point, your speech bubble should be filled with the Foreground color.

STEP 5. Choose the Brush for Outline

Create a new layer and name it Outline. Open the Brushes panel (Window > Brushes) and choose the brush you want to use for outlining your speech bubble. If you're after something unique when you make a speech bubble in Photoshop, you can look for more brushes on the web. Once you find something suitable, you can install brushes in Photoshop .

If you want to tweak the brush size, head to the Brushes panel. It is possible to change even advanced brush settings within the Brush Settings panel.

STEP 6. Add an Outline to the Speech Bubble

Choose either the Path Selection Tool (A) or the Direct Selection Tool (A). Next, right-click on the canvas and select Stroke Path .

STEP 7. Check the Stroke Path Dialog

Make sure you've picked the Brush tool in the Stroke Path dialog. If everything is done properly, your speech bubble will have an outline.

STEP 8. Apply Styles to the Outline and Fill Layers

Now, apply styles to our layers. This way, we can easily switch up their looks whenever we want. Just double-click on the Fill layer for that.

STEP 9. Open the Layer Style Dialog

Make sure you've turned on Preview in the Layer Style dialog, and then select Color Overlay . Click on the color icon to choose a new color, and you'll see the fill color of the speech bubble change right at that moment.

When making word bubbles in Photoshop, it is also possible to add Color Overlay for the Outline layer to alter the color of the speech bubble's outline. Once the layer styles are applied, you can easily tweak them by double-clicking on a layer style in the Layers panel.

10. Add Text to the Bubble

Choose the Horizontal Type Tool (T), click outside the speech bubble shape, and type in your text. Turn on Free Transform (Ctrl/Cmd + T) to adjust the text size using the handles on the bounding box and move the text around by clicking and dragging. Hit Enter to accept the changes.

Feel free to customize the text further by making adjustments in the Character and Paragraph panels. You can also experiment with applying various Photoshop text effects .
