Jawi text generator

Preview Jawi in several freely licensed fonts, copy it, or save a PNG. The rumi button is a helper, not a certified spelling.

Jawi

Basic / approximate. If you type rumi (Latin letters), the convert button uses a small dictionary plus a simplified letter map. Check a Jawi dictionary before you put the result on a certificate, a sign, or an invitation. Typing Jawi directly is left as you typed it.

Jawi is Malay written in an Arabic script, with extra letters for sounds Arabic did not need: ڤ for p, ݢ for g, چ for c, ڠ for ng, ڽ for ny, and ۏ for v. A wedding card, a classroom worksheet, a shop sign, or a revision note often needs the same line in two or three faces so you can see which one still looks like Jawi rather than a display face that fights the letters. This page loads six families that ship under the SIL Open Font License and allows web embedding: Amiri, Noto Naskh Arabic, Scheherazade New, Lateef, Reem Kufi, and Aref Ruqaa. The licence list is repeated in the README. Google Fonts serves the files. The text you type is not uploaded with them.

If you already know the Jawi, type it or paste it. The preview is right to left. Copy puts that text on the clipboard. Download draws the same string on a canvas with the colour, background, and size you picked, and saves a PNG. A long line can clip the edges of the picture, because the canvas is a fixed width; shorten the line or lower the size and export again. The font on the PNG is whichever face you selected, once the browser has finished loading it. If a rare letter draws as a box, switch face. Noto Naskh Arabic and Amiri cover the Malaysian additions more reliably than a purely decorative kufi.

The rumi button is the part to distrust on purpose. Jawi spelling is not "type the English letters in an Arabic font". Vowels are often omitted, some final consonants use a different letter than the one a beginner expects, and loanwords have settled spellings. The converter therefore checks a short dictionary first. "Selamat datang" becomes سلامت داتڠ because both words are listed. "Saya", "nama", "sekolah", "terima kasih", and a handful of other everyday words are listed too. Anything else is passed through digraphs (ng, ny, sy, kh, gh, ch) and a letter map that writes initial vowels with alif and often drops a medial a or e. That will be wrong for plenty of real words. The label on the button says approximate, and the note above the box says to check a dictionary before the text goes on anything official.

Use the sample sentence when you only want to see the fonts. Then replace it. Do not run the converter on text that is already Jawi; the button leaves a string alone when it is entirely in Arabic script, and it will mangle a line that mixes both. Convert rumi first, then tidy by hand, then switch fonts. Reem Kufi is a display face and a poor choice for a paragraph. Amiri, Noto Naskh, Scheherazade New, and Lateef are the ones to try for a line of prose. Aref Ruqaa is a ruq'ah style that looks handwritten and is easier to read at a large size than at 24 pixels.

Classroom use is straightforward. Type the week's vocabulary in rumi, convert, correct the words you know are wrong, and export one PNG per word for a wall or a slide. The PNG background can be paper-coloured or a strong colour for a poster. None of those files pass through this site. If you are setting an exam or a certificate, set the spelling from a Jawi dictionary or from a teacher, not from the fallback map. A missed ڽ or a kaf where a qaf belongs is a different word, not a font problem.

The other tools on FreeToolCrate do not feed this one. A CGPA or a salary figure does not need Jawi, and this page will not translate a paragraph of English prose. It is a preview and a rough bridge from rumi for people who already have a sentence in mind. The hub lists the rest of the crate if you came here from a search and wanted a calculator instead.

Questions people actually ask

Are these fonts free to use on a website or a poster?

Yes. Amiri, Noto Naskh Arabic, Scheherazade New, Lateef, Reem Kufi, and Aref Ruqaa are released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows embedding and redistribution. Keep the licence if you redistribute the font files themselves. This site links the webfonts rather than copying the files into the repo.

Why does the rumi converter look wrong?

Because it is a basic map plus a small dictionary, not a full Jawi orthography. Medial vowels are often dropped, and words that are not listed keep a mechanical spelling. Treat the output as a draft.

Can I type Jawi on my phone?

Yes, if your keyboard has Arabic or Jawi. Paste the result into the box. The page does not add a virtual Jawi keyboard.

The PNG is missing the ends of the sentence.

The picture is 1200 pixels wide and draws one line. Reduce the font size or split the sentence, then download again.

A letter shows as an empty box.

That face does not have the glyph. Switch to Noto Naskh Arabic or Amiri, which cover the extra Jawi letters used in the dictionary.

Do you store what I type?

No. Preview, copy, and PNG all happen in the browser. The font files are requested from Google Fonts; your sentence is not part of that request.
