Arabic font finder: identify any font from an image

How do I find an Arabic font from an image?

Upload the image of the text and the AI compares the letter shapes with the 3,000+ Arabic and Latin fonts it was trained on, then returns the closest font name with a match percentage and a list of similar fonts, in seconds and with no sign up. The font finder, a font detector for Arabic and Latin scripts, accepts photos, screenshots and logos as PNG, JPG or WebP, focuses on the largest text row on its own, and cleans up photos to raise the contrast before analysing them. It recognises Arabic and Latin fonts side by side, and marks every result that is available in the Andalusi font library so you can try it on your design right away.

How can you tell Arabic script styles apart?

Arabic script styles are told apart by the shape, slant and joining of the letters: Naskh is balanced and easy to read, Kufi is geometric with straight angles, Thuluth is curved and stacked, Ruqaa is short and quick, Diwani is looping and rising, and Nastaliq slopes downward. The tool names the exact digital font; this guide helps you name the style when the text is handwritten or the font itself is not among the results.

• Naskh

  Clear, balanced letters in moderate proportions, easy to read in long text; the script of Qur'ans, books and newspapers.

• Kufi

  Straight angles and square, geometric forms with letters stretched horizontally; seen in logos, brand marks and architectural ornament.

• Thuluth

  Large curves with letters stacked over one another, often with vowel marks and ornaments; used for headlines, plaques and mosques.

• Ruqaa

  Short, compact letters written quickly, with dots merged into short strokes; the everyday handwriting script and the one on shop signs.

• Diwani

  Looping letters that climb and join without a break, with the line rising towards its end; the script of invitations and certificates.

• Nastaliq

  Letters slope downward from right to left with slender extensions; the Persian script familiar from poetry and diwans.

• Free-hand and modern

  No strict rules, often handwritten or built from novel shapes; the most common style on social media and in advertising.

Every one of these styles is in the Andalusi Arabic font library, 455+ fonts in 17 categories, each with a preview image.

What if the font is not in the results?

Crop the image to one clear line, keep the text straight rather than skewed, with good contrast between the letters and the background, and as large as you can get it. If the exact font does not appear, the similar-fonts list shows the nearest shapes from the whole catalogue, which is usually a good alternative available in Andalusi. Calligraphy artwork and handwriting are not digital fonts, so they cannot be named, but the style guide above tells you which script they follow.

Can I identify a font in a PDF, on a website or in a video?

Yes, the same way for every source: take a screenshot of the text and upload it here. In a PDF, zoom in until the text is crisp before you capture it; on a website, capture the line you like; in a video, pause on the frame where the text appears. The tool runs in the browser on a phone or a computer with nothing to install.
