How to write names in Nastaliq with the generator
- Open the generator with Nastaliq preselected, then type your word in Arabic, translate it from English, or convert a name with the phonetic helper.
- Nastaliq suits Persian and Urdu names such as Parisa, Arash, Zainab or Ayesha, where the sloping style feels natural.
- Because words slope, give each name some vertical space; the square canvas works well.
- For a couplet or poem line, keep the horizontal layout so each word keeps its hanging shape.
- Download a PNG, a transparent PNG for overlays, or an SVG for print, engraving and tattoo stencils.
Design tips for Nastaliq calligraphy
Deep ink colours like black, navy or burgundy on warm paper tones feel like a poetry manuscript. Nastaliq has tall descenders, so allow generous line spacing and avoid squeezing it into a short canvas. Use SVG downloads for printing so the fine hairlines stay sharp.
