How it works
From a page of writing to a font you can type with
-
01
Write and photograph
Plain white paper, a dark pen, a clear gap between letters. Photograph it straight on in even light, with the writing filling the frame.
-
02
AI writes the rest in your hand
It reads the stroke weight, the slant, how your letters start and finish, then writes every character in the same hand — including the ones your page doesn't show.

03
Fix anything, then download
Each letter opens in an editor: draw, erase, pull a stroke straight, change weight, size, position and spacing. Download as OTF, TTF, WOFF or WOFF2.
Ideas
What people use a handwriting font for
Teaching and worksheets
Set worksheets, name labels and classroom displays in handwriting that matches what children are learning to read.
Notes that look personal
Give a website, a newsletter or a packing slip the warmth of a handwritten note, typed in seconds.
Keeping someone's hand
Turn a letter from a grandparent into a font, so their handwriting stays usable rather than only in a drawer.
Getting a good match
What makes the difference
- Show as many letters as you can. A photo with the whole alphabet gives a font of your actual letters. From one word, most of the alphabet is the AI's idea of how your hand continues.
- Leave gaps between letters. Letters that touch have to be cut apart, and the cut rarely lands where your pen would have lifted.
- Use a pen with a steady, dark line. A fineliner or gel pen beats a pencil or a ballpoint running out of ink.
- Photograph straight on. Even light, no shadow across the page, the writing large in the frame.
- Pick "Handwriting or cursive". It keeps your letters hand-written rather than tidied into a neat typeface, and draws them to join up.
Cursive
Joined-up writing, honestly
Cursive is the hardest thing to turn into a font, and it's worth knowing why before you try. In a font, every letter is a separate shape that has to work after any other letter. In joined-up writing, each letter is shaped by the one before it, and the join carries the rhythm.
Choose Handwriting or cursive and your loops, slant and stroke weight are kept, and every letter is drawn with a lead-in and an exit stroke at the same height — so typed side by side, they meet in a continuous line. It won't vary each join the way your own pen does, but it reads as joined-up writing rather than separated letters.

FAQ
Questions
What do I need to write?
A line or two is enough to start, but the more letters your photo shows, the closer the font is to your own hand. Writing out A–Z and a–z gives the best result, because then every letter is yours rather than drawn to match.
Does it work with joined-up cursive?
Yes. Pick "Handwriting or cursive" and the letters are drawn to connect: each starts and ends at the same height, so they join when you type them.
What letters do I get?
Capitals, small letters, digits and punctuation. Add a language and you get its accented letters too, built from your own handwriting: Swedish å ä ö, Spanish ñ, Polish ł, Czech č, Cyrillic and more.
Can I fix a letter I don't like?
Yes. Every letter opens in an editor where you can draw, erase, pull a stroke into shape, change its weight, size, position and spacing. The font rebuilds as you edit.
What does it cost?
15 free credits with no sign-up, enough for 1 font. A font uses 10 credits, an added language 5, fixing a letter 1. The OTF download is free; TTF and web fonts are 5.
Where does my photo go?
Your image is sent to an AI image service only to redraw the lettering; the font itself is built on our server. We keep your font for about 30 minutes so you can edit it, so download it before you leave.
