Convert Text to Handwriting using Python



In this content, we'll see how to convert text into a handwriting-like image using Python. We'll use the pywhatkit library, which provides a simple interface for this task.

Step 1: Install pywhatkit

Before we start, you'll need to install the pywhatkit library. You can do this using pip.

pip install pywhatkit

Step 2: Import the Library

Once the library is installed, you need to import it into your Python script. Heres how you do it −

import pywhatkit as kit

Step 3: Convert Text to Handwriting

With pywhatkit imported, you can now convert your text into a handwritten-style image. Use the text_to_handwriting() function by the library. Here’s an example −

kit.text_to_handwriting("Hello everyone, please check the video for this article", save_to="new.png")

This function takes two parameters −

  • The text you want to convert into handwriting.
  • The path where you want to save the resulting image file (in this case, "new.png").

Running the Script

After saving the above script as a .py file (e.g., convert_to_handwriting.py), run it from your terminal: python convert_to_handwriting.py

Python Code to Convert text to Handwriting

import pywhatkit as kit
# Convert text to handwriting and save it to 'new.png'
kit.text_to_handwriting("hello everyone please check video for this article", save_to="new.png")

Output

Handwriting
