Write your name in Arabic calligraphy

Arabic can look very different depending on the hand that writes it. The same name drawn in Kufi is angular and geometric, in Naskh it is rounded and easy to read, and in Ruqaa it leans forward in a quick, compact line. This tool shows your name in more than fifty free Arabic fonts at once, grouped by those families, so you can compare them in seconds instead of trying fonts one by one. Open Customize on the card you like to change the colors, the background, the size and the output format.

A few details are worth knowing. The stretch control adds tatweel, the long connecting stroke between letters, and it only goes where Arabic really joins: never after ا د ذ ر ز و and never inside لا. Kufi and Naskh take a stretch best, while Ruqaa and handwriting styles already carry their own rhythm. For a logo or a print job, choose the transparent output at 2x or 4x and place it on any color. For a wedding card, pair a calligraphic style with the paper or night background; for a social profile, a bold sans or Kufi stays readable even when the picture is small. If you want to put the same lettering on a photo, add the text to an image afterwards, or compare more styles in Arabic fonts.

A note on names in Latin letters: the fonts here are Arabic fonts, so the best result comes from typing the name in Arabic. When you type a very common name in Latin letters we offer one suggested spelling, but names often have several correct spellings, so always check it. The Google Fonts catalogue has no real Thuluth or Diwani family, which is why the list calls the most ornamental designs display and calligraphic styles. If you are choosing between styles, our guide to Arabic calligraphy styles explains where each one is used, and the signature maker turns the same name into a signature.
