How To Split Letters And Use A Gradient In Adobe Illustrator

Splitting and dividing text in Illustrator to allow you to edit each letter separately. You must construct distinct text objects for each character if you want each character to be a separate object. In the end you can add a gradient mentioned in the previous tutorials. Let’s begin!

Step 1:

Open a document in Adobe Illustrator.

Step 2:

Add the text of your desire and hold shift to increase it in size.

Step 3:

Type > Create Outlines will transform the text object to vector shapes, which may subsequently be edited individually.

Step 4:

Object > Expand converts text in an envelope to vector shapes, which may subsequently be individually edited.

And you have successfully split the text, if you want to add a gradient of colours you can do that too now. Watch the video to learn in detail and make sure to check out more of our tutorials.
