Make your own fontfrom handwriting

Yes — that's the whole point, whichever way you make it. An Automatic font reads your handwriting from the photo you upload and draws a complete, consistent set in your style. A Manual font is traced from the ink of every character you write on the template.

Not for an Automatic font. Just write a sentence or two the way you normally write, snap a photo, and we read your letterforms from that. Any characters you didn't write — capitals, numbers, punctuation, accented letters — are drawn to match your style, so the whole alphabet still feels like you. If you'd rather write every character yourself, the Manual font is made from a template you print and fill in.

A few natural sentences in any language written with the Latin alphabet, in your regular handwriting, in good light, all in one consistent style. The more relaxed and natural your writing, the more the font feels authentically yours.

Upper and lower case A–Z, the numbers 0–9, the punctuation and symbols on a standard keyboard, the euro and pound signs, and the accented letters and marks used in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. The preview is free, so you can type the words you care about and see how they look before you pay.

Yes — the Manual font. Print the template, fill in each box with a dark pen, photograph the pages with your phone and upload them. Every character is traced from your own ink, and you download the finished font as TTF, OTF and WOFF files without paying anything. More about the Manual font.

Print the template and write one character in each box with a dark pen. Photograph each page flat, in even light, with all four corner squares in the picture, then upload the photos in any order. Printing needs no account; you sign in with Google when you upload, so your font is saved for you.

Every template covers the full English set — upper and lower case A–Z, numbers, punctuation and symbols, including curly quotes — plus the euro (€) and pound (£) signs: 100 characters. Before you print, you can add the accented letters and punctuation marks for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian, up to 160 characters in all. Your font includes every character you fill in.

A Manual font is traced from the ink of every character you write, so each letter is exactly as you drew it. An Automatic font reads your handwriting from one photo and draws a complete, consistent set in your style, including the characters you didn't write. The Automatic font's preview is free, so you can type with it and judge it with your own eyes before you pay. How each one works.

Not yet. Write My Font works with the Latin alphabet only, so handwriting in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Cyrillic, Thai or any other script won't produce a usable font — please don't upload it.

Absolutely — a phone photo is all you need. Lay the page flat, and keep it in focus with clear lighting. No scanner and no special app: the clearer the photo, the crisper your font.

Yes. Upload your handwriting and we'll generate a free preview of your Automatic font you can type with right on the page. You only pay when you're ready to download it. A Manual font costs nothing from start to finish.

An Automatic font is one flat $8.99, paid once. A Manual font costs nothing. No subscription, no renewals, no hidden fees — your font is yours to keep and use forever. Most font creation tools charge you every month; we don't.

An Automatic font is a single ZIP with nine files: Regular, Medium and Bold weights, each in TTF, OTF and WOFF format. A Manual font is a ZIP with three: one weight, in the same three formats. Either one installs and works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android — desktops, laptops, phones and tablets alike.

On Windows or macOS, open the file and click "Install." On iPhone or iPad, use a free app like AnyFont; on Android, use iFont or a similar font manager. It takes under a minute, and then your handwriting shows up wherever you pick fonts.

Anywhere your device lets you choose a font — Microsoft Word, Pages, PowerPoint, Canva, Photoshop, Notion, your notes and your email. On iPad, install it with AnyFont and write in apps like GoodNotes. (A few web-only editors such as Google Docs only allow their own font library — a limitation of those apps, not your font.)

Yes to both. The font you generate is yours, with a perpetual license to use it for anything — personal projects, journals and cards, business branding, or paid client work — with no royalties and nothing more to pay.

All major credit and debit cards, handled securely by our payment provider. Your card number and security code never touch our servers.
