Vertical writing is not optional... it’s essential.

The Vertical Type Tool has quietly disappeared from the toolbar in Photoshop 2025.

For Japanese and other East Asian users, vertical text isn’t a niche feature — it’s the foundation of how we write.

Having to dig into “Type → Convert to Vertical Text” for something so fundamental feels like a step backward in usability.

A tool this essential deserves a visible place on the toolbar, just as it always had.

I’m not asking for an extra feature — I’m asking for something that was already essential.

Please bring the Vertical Type Tool back to the toolbar.

Respectfully,

Strong Ninja

It's not true that Photoshop 2025 removed the vertical type tool.

If it's not there, try restore it to default by going to "Edit Toolbar".

Or reset Photoshop preferences.

Ah, you’re right — it was hiding there all along!
I completely missed it on the left side of the toolbar.
Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for pointing it out! 💫
