Deep Dive

How Text to Handwriting Works

Everything renders locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API and Google Fonts — your text is never sent to a server.

How Text to Handwriting Works
01

19 Fonts Across 3 Categories

Fonts are grouped into Print (Patrick Hand, Handlee, Architects Daughter, and more), Cursive (Caveat, Dancing Script, Satisfy, and more), and Marker (Permanent Marker, Pacifico, Rock Salt, and more), each loaded via next/font/google for crisp, licensed rendering.

Print styles8 fonts
Cursive styles7 fonts
Marker styles4 fonts
02

Canvas Text Rendering

Your text is split into lines and drawn onto an 800×600 HTML canvas using the selected font, size, and color. Rendering is debounced by 100ms so the preview updates smoothly as you adjust settings without lag.

03

Ruled Paper Simulation

When ruled lines are enabled, horizontal guide lines are drawn at the configured line-spacing interval in a soft gray, mimicking notebook paper beneath your handwritten text.

04

PNG Export

Export converts the canvas to a PNG data URL via canvas.toDataURL and triggers a browser download — no upload, no server round-trip, and no watermark.

All rendering runs locally in the browser. Your text never leaves your device.
