What is a text to handwriting converter?
A text to handwriting converter is a tool that draws typed text in a handwriting font on a picture of paper. The result is an image that looks like a handwritten page.
It is a font, not real handwriting. Every letter a has the same shape. To make the lines look less typed, this tool moves each word up or down by a very small amount.
Features
- Four handwriting fonts: neat, round, thin and messy.
- Three kinds of paper: ruled with a margin, ruled, and plain.
- Three ink colours: blue, black and red.
- Three writing sizes.
- Automatic pages. Long text flows onto new pages, up to 20 pages.
- PNG download for each page, 1240 by 1754 pixels.
The options
| Option | Choices | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Handwriting | Neat, Round, Thin, Messy | The fonts are Caveat, Indie Flower, Shadows Into Light and Homemade Apple |
| Paper | Ruled with margin, Ruled, Plain | Ruled paper has blue lines. The margin is a red line on the left |
| Ink | Blue, Black, Red | The colour of the writing |

A page has the shape of an A4 sheet. At 1240 by 1754 pixels it is sharp on a screen and prints at about 150 dots per inch on A4 paper.
Why the result may not look right
- Some letters look typed. The four fonts contain English letters, digits, common signs and Western European accents. Other scripts, such as Arabic, Hindi, Russian or Chinese, and emojis are drawn in a normal font.
- The page shows a normal font everywhere. The handwriting font did not load. Reload the page.
- Text is missing at the end. The tool makes up to 20 pages at a time. Convert the rest of the text separately.
- The Download button is off. The page shown is the sample. Type your own text first.
- The text stops growing. The box takes up to 20,000 characters.

Good to know before you use it
A page made here can be recognised as generated. The letter shapes repeat exactly and the spacing is more even than real handwriting. If a school or an employer asks for work written by hand, follow their rules.
The pages are drawn inside your browser. Your text is not sent to our server and is not saved by us.
