Turn real handwriting into a font you can actually use.
Write characters directly with a mouse, stylus or touchscreen, or print the guided sheet and upload a scan/photo. Refine each glyph, test real text, then generate a local TrueType font.
Project overview
Your current font at a glance.
Font identity
These details are embedded inside the generated font.
Choose how to capture
You can mix both methods in one font.
Write on screen
Best with a stylus or touchscreen. Mouse input also works. Every stroke stays editable.
Upload a sheet
Print the ConvertBuddy sheet, write naturally, then upload a straight scan or clear photo for extraction.
Make a better handwriting font
Short practical guides for cleaner capture, more natural spacing and trouble-free installation.
Capture your handwriting
Fill characters at your own pace. You can switch between direct writing and sheet upload without losing work.
Character library
0 captured
Write the character at a comfortable size and let the baseline guide you. Avoid deliberately “drawing” perfect letters—your natural inconsistencies are what make the font feel personal.
Keyboard shortcuts
Upload completed ConvertBuddy sheet
For best results use a scan, or take a photo directly above the page in bright, even light.
Sheet extraction
Match the printed page before extracting.
Refine and normalize
Fix size, baseline and spacing without changing the personality of your handwriting.
Glyph editor
Select a captured character from the strip below.
Character adjustments
Non-destructive. Original capture is preserved.
Glyph quality
ConvertBuddy maps your captured stroke area to a consistent font em-square while keeping descenders and natural character proportions. Your per-character adjustments are applied after normalization.
Test your font
Generate a temporary local font and try it with sentences, numbers and punctuation before exporting.
Coverage check
Missing characters will fall back to the browser font while previewing.
Quick samples
Export your handwriting font
Build an installable TrueType font directly in your browser. Nothing needs to be uploaded to ConvertBuddy.
Final font settings
Fine-tune global spacing before generation.
If you regenerate a font with the same family name, remove the older installed copy first or give the new version a different family name to avoid system font caching.
