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.

Simple steps

How do you start?

  1. 1

    Upload the text image

    Drag it onto the page, click to choose a file, or paste it from the clipboard. A screenshot of one large line gives the best match.

  2. 2

    Wait a few seconds

    The model finds the largest text row on its own and compares its letter shapes with the fonts it was trained on, Arabic and Latin alike.

  3. 3

    Pick the closest font

    Results come with a match percentage. Open “Available in Andalusi” to see the font page and try it on your design in the app.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does the font finder recognise Arabic fonts?
Yes. The model is trained on 3,000+ Arabic and Latin fonts together, so it recognises digital Naskh, Kufi and Thuluth fonts as well as Latin fonts in the same image, and each result is labelled as an Arabic or a Latin font.
Does it work for English and other Latin fonts?
Yes. The same tool identifies Latin fonts. Upload the image and the results show Latin fonts whenever the text is in Latin script, with the script type shown next to each result.
How do I find the name of a font from a picture or screenshot?
Take a clear screenshot or photo of the text, then drop it here or paste it from the clipboard. You get the closest font name with a match percentage and a list of similar fonts. The bigger and sharper the text in the image, the better the match; the tool focuses on the largest text row on its own.
Is the font finder free and online?
Yes. It runs in the browser on a phone or a computer with no sign up and nothing to install, and accepts PNG, JPG and WebP images up to 8 MB.
Where can I use the font once I know its name?
When the font is part of the Andalusi library an “Available in Andalusi” link appears next to the result and opens the font page, where you can try it on your design in the app. The library holds 455+ Arabic and Latin fonts in 17 categories.
