How to use Text to handwriting
Add your text
Type or paste your text into the input box. Everything is handled by your own browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
Set the options
Choose Handwriting, Style, Slider, Slider (jit) and Red margin line. The options are visible from the start, not hidden until you paste something.
Read it and keep a copy
The output updates as you type, so there is nothing to submit and nothing to wait for. Download image, Don → saves it as a file.
What this tool does
Several handwriting styles to choose from
Caveat, Indie Flower, Shadows Into Light, Reenie Beanie and Gloria Hallelujah cover neat, round, thin and looser hands.
Ruled, plain or legal-pad paper with a margin line
Write on ruled lines, plain white or a yellow legal pad, with an optional red margin line down the left.
Adjustable ink colour, size and messiness
Ink colour, text size and a messiness slider are all adjustable, and a little jitter is what stops it looking typed.
Page grows to fit longer text
The page grows as you add text rather than cutting it off, so a long passage comes out complete.
Download as an image, nothing uploaded
The image is drawn and exported by your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is anything uploaded or saved?
No. Your text is turned into handwriting on a canvas inside your browser, and the image is made on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
How does it make typing look handwritten?
It draws your text in a real handwriting font and then gently varies each letter's position, angle and size, so the lines look naturally uneven rather than perfectly typed. The messiness slider controls how much.
Can I change the paper and pen?
Yes. Choose ruled, plain or yellow legal-pad paper, turn the red margin line on or off, pick any ink colour, and set the text size and how messy the writing looks.
What do I get when I download?
A PNG image of your handwritten page. If your text is long the page grows taller to fit it all, and you can paste or print the image afterwards.
Why does the handwriting look plain for a moment?
The handwriting fonts load from the web the first time, so there can be a brief moment before they appear. It redraws automatically once the font is ready.
