Click ‘add image’ or ‘add text’ to open the side panel to select your image or logo, or add in your text. This will populate the Phatmat, limited to the bounding box at the lower section of the mat.

ADD IMAGE

The preferred format for uploaded images is PNG – Portable Networks Graphic. This allows for transparency as shown in the logo below.

ADD TEXT

For ultimate personalisation, you can add your name, a motivating phrase or what ever words you want.

You’re encouraged to get creative and be unique, it’s your fitness mat after all!

Add text to personalise your yoga mat, pilates mat or fitness mat

You can resize and move the image around within the bounding box by clicking on the image or text. A box will appear wrapping the text or image, there will be 4 icons in the corners.

A multi directional arrow will appear when you hover over the text, click and hold down to move around. If it moves outside the bounding box, it will be highlighted red.

Whether you want your text on an angle or upside down, to the left, center or right, to fit as much possible in the bounding box or a small text, this is a simple way to move, rotate and resize your text.

There are other ways to do it as you described below.

4. Edit Image/Logo or Text

Clicking the image or text also brings up an editing panel at the top of the canvas.

The editing panel allows you to rotate, reposition and reset for images.

For text you have more options, including editing your text, changing the font colour, type and size with bold, italics and underline.

You may also add curved text effect if desired.

EDIT YOUR TEXT

Click the T icon to change your text. You can delete or edit what you have previously entered. What you retype will be replicated on the Phatmat.

CHANGE THE COLOUR OF YOUR TEXT

The colour of your text defaults to black (HEX colour #000000). However, by clicking the colour box in the edit panel, you can change the colour of the text.

Choose which colour you’d like from the colour selector bar to the right, then refine the colour in the box to the left.

The colour you select will be shown and the HEX colour code will appear. Alternatively, if you know your which particular HEX colour you want, enter it in the box and press enter.

POSITION YOUR TEXT

An alternative method to position the text to that described above, is to click the position box in the editing panel.

In this drop-down you will see various icons to position the text with in the bounding box, as shown below.

CHANGE FONT TYPE AND SIZE

Apart from the text, choosing a font type would have to be the most exciting part of personalising your Phatmat. With 70 fonts to choose from, you’re encouraged explore and find a style that suits you.

The default font is Arial. You can change it by clicking the font drop down menu and scrolling through until you find what you like.

You can change the font size adjacent to font type by typing or toggling until you find a size you’re happy with, whilst ensuring it remains inside the bounding box.

CURVED TEXT

Adding curve to your text is another excellent way to personalise your Phatmat.

You can achieve this by clicking the curved text box in the editing panel. Inside the drop-down, ensure you activate the switch for curved text, it will go green when switched.

Click it again to deactivate the switch and remove curved text effect.

Also, in the drop-down, you can adjust the curve radius and letter spacing, it defaults to 80 and 10 respectively.

ADDING A MONOGRAM

Phatmats is currently working on this feature for you, but the good news is, you can still add a monogram!

There are many online monogram makers you can use to create a monogram of your initials.

Monogram Maker, for example, is simple to use and lets you save as PNG. Then you can simply add it to your Phatmat as an image.

Here are some mock examples, taking only minutes to generate and add to a Personalised Phatmat.

5. Place your order
