Text Warp in Inkscape 

Thank you for a clear, and descriptive explanation. To many other "how to's" got too fast and just click around ...no way to follow. Great job!

I'm such a newbie but I appreciate your easy to understand instructions.

Glad I'm still using .92 Inkscape, this method worked great, thank you !

Thank you for this tip, it exactly showed me how to address a problem I was having with text in a logo.

So helpful! This process worked exactly as described without any issue. Thank you for sharing!

I actually had two computers on while doing this procedure. On one I had Inkscape open and was performing the work. The other had your video playing, and I was pausing at each instruction so I perform the instruction on Inkscape exactly as you instructed. I don't know how I could have done it wrong. In fact I did it multiple times. But I will try it again. The funny thing is that I got the same response and message even after I deleted Inkscape and reinstalled it. By the way, the bezier envelope tool does show in extensions, modify path. Thanks for your response. I'll let you know if it works when I try it again.

Thank you for this tutorial! It is explained well and to the point. I've had to watch it a few times between jobs to make sure I'm doing it correctly, hopedfully this time it sticks!

It took me a few times trial and error (on my part) but awesome tutorial. It worked for me!

As usual, a well presented concept. Thank you.

Thanks for the video - I always learn something new with your tutorials and videos!

Thank you so much! After I figured out the download and restarted it worked like a charm!

OMG I love this tutorial AND THANK YOU So very much for the explanation. I have fairly newer Mac and was able to get it with using the feature GO TO menu!! You're amazing!!

Thank you! I have been trying to recreate the THRASHER logo on paint.net but could not find any tools or plugins that recreate the effect so I decided to look into inkscape and this works fine!

Love, love, love it!! Worked on the first try. Thank you for sharing.

Found you today, thanks this was very helpful and informative.

Thank you so much! This is very helpful. Makes me save time for my designs. =)

Oh hell yeah, this is sooo much simpler. Thank you, very, very much.

Thank you for this! Great design

GREAT STUFF VERY CLEAR AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THNAK YOU

Wonderful tutorial!! Thanks so much!

Thank You very much for this great little tut!

Thank you very much. Worked on the first try!!!

you have to be patient to figure this out, folks... she explains EVERYTHING out. But is you decide NOT to watch this video from front to back without skipping around to different parts, you will not miss key points that she addresses. It wasn't working for me either, because that's exactly what i was doing. I then watched to whole video and referenced he blog as well. downloaded both the extension and the template. its all laid out. just be patient guys... you're learning.

You are a life saver! Thank you!

Thank you so much. Very helpful Tutorial.

Thanks so much worked a treat :D

Thank you so much ,great work

Thanks great information keep up the great work 👍

really informative, many thanks

Thank you so much for all this knowledge.I have tried following step by step instructions to add the extensions but have been unsuccessful. Cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Can you help me ? Im having problems trying to download the extensions im running windows 7

Gotten enough of this! ! ! Went on subsequently and downloaded Photoscape X (free version) for Windows 10 without having to go thru the steep learning curve. On Photoscape X, you can arch, arc, bulge and more.

thank you very much, very helpful..

Oh man this was great.

Danielle, try selecting the rectangle, then choosing the node edit tool (2nd arrow down) instead of double clicking. That might work better for you.

Thank you!

Great Tutorial!!

thanks.....great video

perfect how to, i can't fault it.

By the way, the modify path, envelope and perspective options work, but obviously are not very flexible like the bezier envelope.

I have gotten it to work once or twice though so not sure what I;m doing wrong.

Thanks this is great

Hello please i want to put a small logo inside a number then use a cutter machine to cut it...any idea how to do it?much appretiated

Thank you alot!

Help. It worked the fisrt time then i got this error message : INSKCAPE encountered and internal error and it will close now . :( What can I do to fix it ?

Thanks so much for your video. Do you have other Inkscape tutorials?

can this be done with gimp? or can someone send me a link to a vid that can do this exact something in gimp?

Anyone know how to get that extension working in 1.3 AppImage?

Do you have any suggestions for those of us using the Inkscape 1.0?

THANK U THANK U THANK U!!!

Any word on this being available yet for version 1.0??

I followed perfectly, but I'm getting Syntax Error: Invalid Syntax. Didn't do this before. Any ideas?

thank you so much~ when i go to upload the image to design space, it only gives me random letters of my text. i tried object to path but it didnt work. any advice

I have tried this multiple times, and it still will not work. At first I thought I had placed the download of the bezier extensions in the wrong place. I completely removed Inkscape, reloaded it, reloaded the download from your page, and put them in the extension area. Still no help. It will not work. It says: "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected". The text remains where I placed it and does not move at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hi I have a question I was able to warp text but id like to do one with the curve on the top and keep the letters flat on the bottom. like in your tutorial but no matter what i do it keeps making the bottom curl up too

how does one drag and copy in inkscape?

for some reason a recurring issue I have is that the text just disappears after applying the bezier envelope. the shape remains though.. and they are not stacked on top of each other.. just gone!

I don't have the option bezier envelope just envelope. I thought this came standard with ink scape. I was so pumped up to do this because I want to put it on a shirt like this and then so bummed when it didn't work I don't even have that option

Great tutorial! I am having issues with the lower text in your example "inkscape". Every time I use the bezier envelope it flips my letters upside down. They are in the correct order and the correct shape but upside down. Any ideas?

I know this is an older version of inkscape, I tried this with a newer version and there is no bezier envelope only envelope. Can you help me with this !! Thank You

I just tried to download the Bezier Envelope Extension and had to use the alternate link. I've tried several times and it still does not show up in the Modify extensions. Can not figure out what I am doing wrong. I checked my preferences to make sure I had the right path, copied both files, unzipped, closed and re-opened the program and still don't have it. Any other suggestions?

How come I do not have the "Bezier Envelope" as an option ? I only have envelope or flatten Bezier

since there is no longer a "bezier envelope" option in the current version, how do you do this today?

There is no Bezier Envelope extension in my Inkscape under Modify Path :(

I'ven replaying video over and over, and following it tediously step by step I keep getting this distorted image... Can anyone help, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for this informative video. I finally figured out how to copy the files for the extensions. everything seems to work okay but then when I use the extension the text turns sideways and backwards. Any idea what i am doing wrong?

I did everything as explained to do but when I click on Modify Path and Bezier envelope, the font is hidden behind the image. What am I doing wrong?

Can you still find an older version of Inkscape? I have a version that isn't compatible with the Bezier Envelope and this video is so well done. It is the first time I have understood anything about Inkscape. I really want to be able to do this,

I have tried following step by step instructions and keep getting the same error message 381 I better say I did follow step by step even with the same text shown on the video.

how do you make a symmetrical bend, at the very middle so that the letters bend symmetrically.

i have a windows and i cant get the extension to download to inkscape. what am i doing wrong/.

Hello, I tried installing the extension but when i go to into c:program files/inkscape/share.... there is no "extensions" folder not sure what to do here.

Hi. Anytime I draw a rectangle, the status bar says it has 8 nodes, not 4. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks.

is there any way to save as jpg directly from inkscape ??

I'm new to inkscape and installed the 2 files you mentioned below. However, I received this "error" message, "Traceback (most recent call last): File "bezierenvelope.py", line 381, in e.affect() File "inkex.py", line 283, in affect self.effect() File "bezierenvelope.py", line 90, in effect raise Exception, "Both letter and envelope must be SVG paths." Exception: Both letter and envelope must be SVG paths I confirmed that the files are in the \extension folder. I'm running inscape 0.92. Thanks for your help.

nice

Does anyone know what this error means in inkscape. comes up after i click Modify Path bezier envelope. Traceback (most recent call last): File "bezierenvelope.py", line 70, in import inkex, os, simplepath, cubicsuperpath, simpletransform,sys File "simpletransform.py", line 23, in import inkex, cubicsuperpath, bezmisc, simplestyle ImportError: No module named bezmisc

Why is it that i cant find my C:Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions when i want to download the extension

Thank you! Installed and working. Only issue is the letters skew somewhat when put into the Bezier Envelope. Is there anyway to prevent this?

The Bezeier Envelope Extension does not download successfully. Can you provide any assistance with that? Thanks.

I put the bezierenvelope.inx and bezierenvelope.py into the extensions folder and re-started Inkscape, but the extension isn't showing up in the menu.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you :)

How do you do the zoom? Did you edit this in another program?

can i use this on a PC all i see are directions for mac...thanks..version.92

Hello! i have a quick question. I've watched your video and did like you said using the square on the side tool bar. I select it. click on Path then object to path. I try double clicking and the square goes away. Or i select the square and then try and click on the second arrow and it still disappears. could you tell me what i am doing wrong?

Perhaps im skipping a step, because after i create the envelope and un-grouped text. also selecting it the correct way, my text will come out side ways and not as shown

hi i hope u can make it works for inkscape 1.x, your extension is really time saver best regard

it doesnt work for me :/

Has anyone found the bezeire envelope?

not working :/ error Traceback (most recent call last): File "bezierenvelope.py", line 381, in e.affect() File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 268, in affect self.effect() File "bezierenvelope.py", line 90, in effect raise Exception, "Both letter and envelope must be SVG paths." Exception: Both letter and envelope must be SVG paths.

I tried to do exactly what you did within the video and it just didn't work! The text won't rotate as the rotation points aren't even showing up. I have tried this technique several times and it just didn't work! Any ideas?! Please as I am starting to get annoyed with inkscape! ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS PLEASE?!

I don't seem to be able to find the Bezier Envelope Extension. Anyone else have this issue?

For some reason, my text will not "arch" to the shape. It will conform to the path, but only in straight paths. I tried w different fonts and DL'd your paths. Any help is appreciated.

I have tried this method, spent hours and it isn't working - Is there something I'm doing wrong? I can't figure it out. I've downloaded the Bezier Extension. I keep getting a message at the end

Still won't work. I don't think I am skipping a step or doing them in the wrong sequence. Don''t know what else to do.

But when you shape the size how do you know they are even?

I keep getting this pop up box that says both letter and envelooe must be SVG paths..........??????

Hey CleverSomeday, i did every step like you but finally the letters are set sideways in the amberlobe (sry for bad english :/). Thank you!

Uggg, does anyone have a method that does work with Inkscape 1.2?

The one linked on the blog works under 0.48, but not 0.91. However I found a version that does (I don't know about 0.92 though): github.com/shlomif/Bezier-Envelope-for-Inkscape
