Will there be a watermark on my image?

Never. We don't add any watermark, branding, attribution, or footer. The output is 100% yours to use however you want.

Are there any usage limits?

No limits on the number of conversions, characters, or downloads. Use as much as you want, whenever you want.

Do you store my text?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. We never see, store, transmit, or have access to your text. Once you close the tab, it's gone.

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. Since nothing is sent to a server, there's no data to be compromised. Your text stays on your device the entire time.

Does the tool use cookies?

We use minimal functional cookies and possibly privacy-respecting analytics. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising trackers on the tool itself.

How many handwriting fonts are available?

We offer 8 distinct handwriting fonts: Natural (Kalam), Casual (Caveat), Neat (Patrick Hand), Cursive (Dancing Script), Classic (Homemade Apple), Elegant (Sacramento), Playful (Gochi Hand), and Light (Shadows Into Light).

What paper styles can I choose?

Four paper styles: Ruled Paper (lined with red margin, like school notebooks), Blank Paper, Graph Paper (grid pattern), and Yellow Pad (yellow legal pad style).

Can I change the ink color?

Yes! Choose from 5 preset colors (black, blue-black, blue, dark green, dark red) or use the custom color picker to choose any color you like.

Can I adjust font size?

Yes, font size is adjustable from 20px to 52px using a slider. Default is 34px which works well for A4 pages.

Is there a character limit?

No strict character limit. For best quality and performance, we recommend up to 500 words per page. Split longer text into multiple pages.

Does the tool support Hindi text?

Yes! Select "Natural (Kalam)" or "Playful (Gochi Hand)" font for excellent Devanagari script support, including Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, and Nepali.

Which font is best for Hindi?

"Natural (Kalam)" is the best choice for Hindi text. It renders Devanagari characters with natural, handwritten feel.

Can I use other Indian languages?

Yes! Any language using Devanagari script works: Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, Nepali, Konkani, Bhojpuri, Maithili, and Rajasthani.

Do you support non-Latin scripts like Arabic, Chinese, Tamil?

Currently, the tool supports Latin and Devanagari scripts. Support for Tamil, Bengali, and other scripts is planned for future updates.

How do I download as PDF?

Type your text, then click the "Download PDF" button. The PDF generates in 1-3 seconds and downloads automatically to your device.

What size is the PDF output?

A4 size (210mm × 297mm) at high resolution, perfect for printing on standard paper anywhere in the world.

PNG vs PDF — which should I use?

Use PNG for sharing on social media, WhatsApp, or embedding in documents. Use PDF for printing, school submissions, or when you need vector-quality output that scales.

Can I copy the image to clipboard?

Yes! Click the "Copy" button to copy the rendered image to your clipboard, then paste it anywhere (messages, emails, documents).

Does it work on mobile phones?

Yes, fully optimized for mobile devices. Works on Android (Chrome) and iPhone (Safari) browsers. The canvas auto-scales to fit your screen.

Does it work offline?

After the first visit, the tool caches its resources. Basic functionality works offline. PDF download requires the jsPDF library which loads on first use.

Which browsers are supported?

All modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, Brave, and mobile browsers. Internet Explorer is not supported.

Why is the preview different from the download?

The preview is scaled to fit your screen, but the download is at full 794×1123 resolution (A4 at 96dpi). Quality is preserved in the download.

How does the "Randomize Handwriting" button work?

It adds subtle variations in font size, line height, and character spacing, plus tiny rotation jitter to each character. This mimics the natural inconsistency of real handwriting.

Can students use this for school assignments?

Yes, many students use it. Always follow your school's academic integrity policy. We recommend using it for reference, formatting, and learning purposes.

Is it suitable for commercial use?

Yes. Since the tool runs in your browser and doesn't claim ownership, you can use the output commercially — in designs, prints, social media, etc.
