How to type in Urdu
- Type Urdu words phonetically in the left box using English letters — for example salam.
- The Perso-Arabic (Nastaliq) text appears instantly in the right box: سلام.
- Copy it, share it, download it, or print it.
Examples
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
| salam | سلام |
| shukriya | شکریہ |
| aap kaise hain | آپ کیسے ہیں |
| pakistan | پاکستان |
Urdu is written right-to-left in the Perso-Arabic script, traditionally in the flowing Nastaliq style. Use the on-screen keyboard for letters like ٹ, ڈ, ڑ and ے, or dictate with voice typing — the workspace handles right-to-left text correctly.
Using Urdu typing
Copy & paste
Tap Copy and paste the Urdu text anywhere — WhatsApp, Word, Google Docs, or social media. The right-to-left direction is preserved.
On mobile
On phones, type with your own keyboard in English letters — each word converts to Urdu when you hit space — or use the on-screen keys and voice typing.

Yes. The output is standard Unicode Urdu, so it displays correctly in WhatsApp, Word, Google Docs, and email. Use the Copy or Share buttons, or download it as a .txt file.
