About the fonts
The tools use 16 free fonts under the SIL Open Font License, including Noto Nastaliq Urdu and Gulzar for Nastaliq, Amiri, Lateef and Scheherazade New for Naskh, and Aref Ruqaa, Katibeh and Lalezar for headlines. Each was checked for the Urdu letters ٹ ڈ ڑ ں ھ ہ ے and the Urdu digits.
Jameel Noori Nastaleeq, popular in Pakistan, isn’t included because it isn’t published under a licence that allows sharing it.
Roman Urdu has no single spelling
People write the same word as hai, hy or he, and Urdu script usually leaves short vowels out, so converting between the two is never perfect. The converters use a list of common chat words and a 97,000-word dictionary, mark words that have other spellings, and let you tap to switch. Check names and rare words before you share the text.
Questions
Do I need to install Urdu fonts?
No. The tools load free Urdu fonts in the page, so Nastaliq shows correctly even on phones and computers without them.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Typing, converting and drawing all happen in your browser.
Can I use the calligraphy pictures commercially?
Yes. Pictures made with fonts under the SIL Open Font License can be used in any project.
Which InPage versions work?
We tested a file from an older InPage version, and it converted cleanly. Newer InPage 3 files are read by the same library, but we haven’t been able to test one yet, so check the text afterwards.
