Text to Handwriting Converter

Turn typed text into a page that looks handwritten, for a greeting card, a mock-up, a journal page, notes for a video or a school poster. Choose from eight free handwriting fonts (including two for Korean), a ruled, squared, plain or cream page and an ink colour; small random tilts, shifts and size changes make every letter look a little different. Download each page as a PNG image or all pages as one PDF. The handwriting fonts are loaded from Google Fonts when you press Calculate; your text is drawn in your browser and is not sent anywhere.

How to use this tool

1. Type or paste your text; blank lines start new paragraphs.
2. Pick a handwriting style, paper and ink colour.
3. Adjust letter size, line spacing and wobble until it looks natural.
4. Press Calculate and download the PNG pages or the PDF. Change “Variation” for a different wobble.

Formula

Each letter is drawn at its normal position with a random tilt (±2° × wobble), baseline shift (±5% of the size × wobble) and size change (±6% × wobble)

Pages are drawn at 150 dots per inch (A4 is 1240 × 1754 pixels) and placed full-page in the PDF. Lines wrap at word boundaries; long words and text without spaces wrap between characters. The fonts are free Google Fonts (Caveat, Indie Flower, Homemade Apple, Dancing Script, Shadows Into Light, Reenie Beanie, Nanum Pen Script, Gaegu), downloaded once by your browser from Google’s font servers; your text itself is never uploaded. If a font cannot be loaded, a built-in cursive font is used and the result says so.

Example

The sample letter takes 7 lines in Caveat at 34 px (the long middle sentence wraps once, and the two blank lines are kept), so it fits on one A4 page: at 52 px line spacing, ⌊(1754 − 150 − 110) ÷ 52⌋ + 1 = 29 lines fit per page. The result gives a PDF, one PNG page and the name of the font used.
