Handwriting Fonts

Draw the alphabet here or fill in a printed sheet and photograph it. What comes out is a genuine font family, installed into your site and available in every picker.
Extension

Your own handwriting, as a real font the whole editor can use.

A handwritten look usually means buying somebody else’s handwriting. This makes yours into a font instead, and a real one: an actual font family your site installs and every part of the editor can use.

There are two ways in. Draw the letters here with a mouse, pen or tablet on a proper type grid, with baseline, x-height, cap height, ascender and descender drawn while you work and the neighbouring letters faint beside them so the shapes line up from the start. Or print the ruled sheet, fill it in with your favorite pen, photograph it, and let the registration marks straighten the page and read every cell in order, so nothing has to be matched up by hand.

Because the drawing itself is kept rather than a picture of it, one alphabet yields a whole family: Light, Regular and Bold as genuine weights, plus an italic by slant. Accented characters are composed for you, so drawing the plain letters and the accents once covers German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian. Cursive mode puts entry and exit marks at a fixed height and closes the gaps so the letters visibly join. Spacing comes from the real ink of each glyph, with a tracking slider and a per-letter nudge on top.

One click installs the finished font into this site’s font library, where it turns up in the font picker, brand kits, templates, curved text, text on a path, WordArt and every layer style, with no reload. The font file doubles as the project file: open it again later and every stroke is still editable. It is all computed in your browser and stored on your own server.

It comes with the Pro plan, updates included, and supports the continued development of the free open-source editor.

Free

Chaos Art

Autonomous painters make one-of-a-kind abstract art in 3D space - gestures, art movements, painterly media, and embeds that paint a new original for every visitor.

Pro

Particle Strokes

Paint with swarms of light: twenty-two movements, a stamp you draw yourself, and curves that give a stroke a shape - the swarm keeps painting for a few seconds after you let go.

Pro

City Diorama

Any place on earth as a miniature you could hold: real streets, water and building footprints raised into a 3D diorama - or wrapped around a sphere as your own tiny planet.

Free

Papercut Art

Layered paper pictures with real depth - a photo sliced along its actual depth into up to twenty layers, parametric landscapes, animals and clouds you can shape, letters with real counters, and a look that runs on three dials.

Pro

3D Earth Studio

A hyperrealistic globe - day and night with city lights, live clouds, atmosphere halo, country borders and highlights, click-to-place markers with flight-route arcs, satellite orbits, seamless rotation video and a live website embed.

Free

Mystic Studio

Turn a birth date into wall art - a real natal chart with houses and aspects, the moon of that night, zodiac and Chinese zodiac posters, numerology cards and a synastry wheel for two, in eight artful themes.

Free

Marble Bath

Marble paper on a virtual water bath - drop, rake and comb real Ebru patterns with gestures, flowers and classic recipes, razor-sharp at any size and re-editable as a layer.

Free

Day Ring

Turn a day into a beautiful circular schedule - colour-coded time blocks as arcs around a 24-hour clock, with concentric rings for overlaps, emoji, templates and a legend.

Free

Code Shot

Turn code into a gorgeous, share-ready image - syntax highlighting, editor themes, window frames and diff highlighting - then drop it into your design as a re-editable layer.

Pro

3D Solar System Studio

Build a date-accurate 3D solar system - real planet positions for any date, photoreal textures and one slider from artistic to true scale - then drop it into your design as an editable layer.

Pro

3D Molecule Studio

Build a real 3D molecule - from a curated library, the periodic table or a SMILES string - then style it, measure it and drop it into your design as an editable layer.

Pro

3D Textile Studio

Drop your design onto cloth that behaves like the material you pick: silk falls soft, felt holds its shape, flag fabric snaps in the wind. Hang it, blow it and drape it, then lay the finished drape back into your document as a picture.

Pro

3D Particle Studio

Point the engine at any layer and it becomes a cloud of particles that keeps its colours, flowing through a sphere, a galaxy or your own outline. Keep the frame you like as a still, or embed the running engine so it keeps moving on your page.

Free

Origami

Put your own picture on the paper and watch that very sheet fold itself into a crane or a box. Every step is a station you can stop at and turn around in 3D, which is exactly where printed diagrams leave you alone.

Pro

3D Flip Studio

A hardcover you can leaf through, a limp magazine, a strewn pile of sheets, a sticker peeling off its backing. The curl is real geometry, so the print never slides across the paper.

Pro

Step Guides

Turn any picture into an instruction. Every mark is pinned to a place in the image, so arrows still point at the right thing after the callout has been dragged somewhere else.

Free

One studio, sixteen art types: ASCII and emoji art, brick, dice, cube, sticky-note, LED, ceramic and keycap mosaics, word portraits, text flows, silhouettes, element tiles and more.

Free

Photo Mosaic

The classic photomosaic, computed in your browser: your main image emerges from many media-library photos via true structure matching - never a cheap overlay.

Free
