Arabic Style Text Generator

Add a flowing kashida touch to each character—a slender extender ـ follows every letter and digit to suggest cursive continuity in short names, tags, and headers.

What the Kashida Text Generator Actually Does

This cut places the Arabic tatweel ـ after each supported glyph, producing a stretched cadence such as jـaـmـaـlـ, sـtـyـlـeـ, and 2ـ0ـ2ـ7ـ. Direction stays left-to-right; it’s a decorative elongation, not a script switch or translation.

Where it fits

• Chapter cards, brand wordmarks, and ceremonial title lines.
• Event slugs and collection labels that benefit from a graceful flow.
• Short quotes or epigraphs where continuity adds poise.

Quick start

1. Type a brief phrase (1–4 words) and create the kashida version.
2. Drop it into your banner, caption, or profile badge.
3. Pair with plain surrounding text to keep contrast and legibility.

Craft notes

• Letters and digits receive ـ; most punctuation remains unchanged, which helps scanning.
• Best in compact spans—very long stretches can feel busy.
• Not for writing Arabic; it’s a Latin text ornament inspired by Arabic calligraphy.

Which Toolbar Options Work With Kashida Text

The output is Latin letters carrying an Arabic typographic mark, and that distinction decides most of the toolbar.

• Separator suits this style best. The space is left alone, so a chosen mark lands on the word gaps: arabic style becomes aـrـaـbـiـcـ ✦ sـtـyـlـeـ. Since every letter already trails a stroke, a distinct break stops the line reading as one run.

✦ Symbol carries one caution worth stating: reaching for real Arabic punctuation, ؟ or ،, implies the phrase is Arabic when it is not.

꒰꒱ Wrap works, since the kashida sits inside the phrase and leaves both ends free. ❋ Pattern and Aa Mix Font work against it — the effect depends on ordinary letters carrying the stroke. ⏰ Recent saves repeating a set-up, and 🖼 Export Image gives PNG, JPG or WebP, sidestepping both limits below.

Kashida, Tatweel, and What the Character Is

The mark this tool adds is U+0640, named ARABIC TATWEEL in the Unicode standard and known as kashida in Persian and Urdu typography. It is a single character with a real job in Arabic setting: Arabic letters join, and the tatweel stretches the joining stroke between them, which is how justified Arabic text is padded to the margin without changing the spacing between words.

Applied to Latin letters it cannot do that job, because Latin letters do not join. What it does instead is leave a short horizontal stroke after each one, which is the effect you see here. Unicode classifies it as a modifier letter, so it travels with the text rather than behaving like punctuation.

Two consequences follow, and both are worth knowing before you paste:

• The text doubles in length. Five letters become ten characters, and fifteen bytes against five, because U+0640 is two bytes in UTF-8. Short labels only.
• It stops matching as the original word. Hـeـlـlـoـ is not the string Hello, so a search box, a hashtag, or a username lookup will not find it. Good for a display name, bad for anything meant to be found.

If You Wanted Actual Arabic

This page is a Latin decoration and cannot write, convert or transliterate Arabic — typing hello gives hـeـlـlـoـ, not مرحبا. There is no way to get Arabic script out of it, and it is worth saying plainly rather than letting the name imply otherwise.

Direction is the clearest tell: real Arabic sets right-to-left, and everything here stays left-to-right. If you need the script itself you want an Arabic keyboard or a translator, not a text styler. What this is good for is giving Latin words an Arabic-influenced texture — a wordmark, a chapter card, a profile label — while staying honest that the letters underneath are still A to Z.
