How to add "borders" to Webflow text

Step 1: How to add a text stroke

To add a text stroke to a text element (such as a text block, paragraph, or heading), simply follow these steps:

  1. Select the text element (or its CSS class) or the parent element containing multiple text elements in your navigator.
  2. Go to the Style panel: Style panel > Typography > More type options
  3. Adjust the stroke width (px) and color in the Stroke section.

In just 2 clicks.

The text stroke will appear on the text of the selected element. Note that the stroke color is automatically set to the font color unless specified at a higher breakpoint.

Step 2:  Modify the text stroke for different devices

If you want the text stroke to appear differently based on screen size (desktop, tablet, mobile), you can adjust the style (CSS) of the text stroke at different breakpoints.
