: How to make a text fit in a perfect square shape in Photoshop (CC)? I want to write a text that fits in a perfect square shape of a determined size and after some playing with the text

While I couldn't give a more correct answer than Alin did with his explaination, I believe you should follow scott's advice. Treat type as part of your art/design.

You could stretch "Right" so it matches your "Up" design, but scaling/stretching type this way is a no go.

You could either go with:


"Right" as your guideline, because it's the widest, and match the others with a center paragraph setting.
Go with a one(or two) letter indication for all directions (UP,RI,DO,LE).
Make a more universal design by using arrows.


Besides that you could try and keep the squares (partly)visible in the design, depending on your overall design.

Note: These are tips for your design outcome. For the straightforward answer Alin's answer will suffice.

First of all you must know the square's size (let's say 115px x 115px)


Then you simply click and type each word in a separate text layer.
Right click on each of them and select Convert To Shape
Press Ctrl+T To transform
In the top toolbar you will see the shape's width and height, simply type 155px to both inputs (PS: make sure the Maintain aspect ratio is unchecked).
