Highlight Text [Creative Ideas]

If you want to get creative, here are some ideas that you can use to make highlighted text.

  1. Use the Shadow option from the top menu. 
  2. Set the Opacity to 100% and choose a color. 
  3. To make an underline border, set the Offset X to 0 and the Offset Y to 9
  4. To create a top border, set the Offset X to 0 and the Offset Y to -9. A text overline is a typographical feature of a horizontal line drawn immediately above the text.

So, the font style Highlight option is not the only text effect that you can use. Here is another cool method to annotate online free:

  3.  Choose the color that you like. The typical text highlight color is fluorescent yellow but other colors like green, blue, purple, orange and red are used. The highlight colour code depends on your text color.
  4. Place the rectangle shape behind the text. (TIP: If you put it in front of the text using the blend mode Multiply.) 
  5. Add a Stroke text style. If you input 1,1 at the Stroke settings you get a dashed outline like in the screenshot.

To create a Strikethrough Text or a Cross Out Text use a simple line shape instead of a rectangle shape. Choose a color for the highlight line.
