Pixelmator: How to Draw an Unfilled Circle Around Text

Want to draw a circle around text in a Pixelmator image? Here's how.


  1. Press M to bring up the selection tool. For drawing a circle, make sure it is the circle selection tool (you may have to press "M" twice).
  2. Draw the circle using the selection tool. It will appear as a dotted line like any typical selection.
  3. Go to Edit.
  4. Select Stroke.
  5. Choose a color and line thickness and any other options you want to fill out.




That's it. You can also use this method to draw unfilled squares, or to draw filled-in circles and squares.
