Here’s the thing, you could go into each individual text layer on the mobile breakpoint and manually decrease the text size.
While this works, it’s definitely not the most efficient solution. You’d have to repeat the same process for every single text layer. And who’s got time for that, right?
So, what’s the better way? Let me show you how to make this process way easier and basically automatic.
Assigning text styles for responsiveness
Instead of adjusting text manually on each breakpoint, the trick is to assign text styles that adjust automatically based on the screen size. This is gonna save you so much time.
So, let’s start by clicking into the text layer on the desktop breakpoint.
I’ll go ahead and select the title and, in the right panel, I’ve got the Text Styles property.
Now I can create a new one. So, I’m going to create a new style called “Heading 1.”

Editing text style with breakpoints
Once I create the text style, I can edit it.
In the editing window, I can specify the size for different breakpoints: L (desktop), M (tablet), and S (mobile). This is key to making the text responsive.

For example:
On tablet, I can set the title text size to 45px (or whatever looks best).
On mobile, I can set it to 24px (to make sure it doesn’t take up too much space on smaller screens).
You can even create a style for the body text. I’ll create a new style for it called “Paragraph,” just like we did with the title. I can edit it and set the text size for tablet and mobile as well.
For the paragraph:
On tablet, let’s set the text size to 16px.
On mobile, we’ll keep it at 16px as well (but you can always adjust this based on your design).

Once I’ve assigned these styles and set the breakpoints, the text will automatically adjust for each screen size.
That means if I reuse this text style in other parts of my project, the text will scale perfectly on all breakpoints.
