No. Write 10–15 letters naturally on paper and upload a photo. Our AI studies your stroke style, slant, and character shapes, then generates the full character set — every letter, number, and symbol — in the same style. You don't need to write the whole alphabet.

Calligraphr requires you to print a template, hand-write every single glyph into specific boxes, scan it, and then manually correct each character. That process takes 30+ minutes. With Lipi.ai, you write a few letters naturally, take a photo, and AI generates the full font in under 2 minutes — no templates, no tracing, no manual correction.

All styles work — neat print, messy scrawl, cursive, semi-cursive, block letters, and everything in between. The AI captures what makes your handwriting unique regardless of how tidy it is. Best results come from good lighting and dark ink on white paper, but even imperfect photos produce usable fonts.

Every generated font is delivered in TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 formats — ready for desktop applications, websites, and mobile apps. All formats are included with your purchase, along with a unique Font ID and license certificate.

Yes, with a license purchase. There are two options: Buy for Use ($14.99) is a non-exclusive commercial license for use in your projects, products, and designs. Full Ownership ($24.99) gives you an exclusive license — we remove the font from our marketplace after your purchase so it's yours alone.

Each multilingual font generation uses 3 credits (compared to 1 credit for the standard 36-language version) — the extra cost covers generating the additional 224 glyphs for full diacritic coverage. New accounts receive free credits to get started, and when you purchase a font (Buy for Use or Full Ownership), you receive 50 additional credits automatically.

Yes. The standard tier covers 36 languages — English, German, Indonesian, Swahili, and many African and East-European Latin-script languages — including the basic accented vowels (ä, ö, ü, ß). The extended tier widens that to 81 languages with full diacritic coverage: Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, Czech, Hungarian, the Nordics, Quechua, and the rest of the Latin script families. Pick the tier that matches the languages your audience reads in.

You don't have to write every accented letter yourself — write a representative sample of your handwriting (10–15 letters in your native style) and the AI extrapolates accents, ligatures, and punctuation. So you can scribble in English and still get a font that types correctly in Polish, Vietnamese-style accents in Latin script, or any of the 81 supported languages on the extended tier.
