Short answer: in Text to Handwriting, open My handwriting in the settings. Either upload a handwriting font made from your writing (.ttf, .otf or .woff), or draw each letter once on the pad. Both stay in your browser.
Option 1: upload a handwriting font
This gives the most natural result, because a font maker captures every letter with its proper spacing.
- Download a free handwriting template from a font maker such as Calligraphr, fill it in with a dark pen, and scan or photograph it as the site asks.
- Download the generated font file (.ttf or .otf).
- In the converter, open My handwriting and drop the file in. It appears first in the style list, and the tool tells you which languages it can write.
- Tick Remember this font on this device if you will use it again.
If letters look too far apart or too close, adjust Letter spacing and Word spacing under Style. Handwriting fonts made from scans often need a little negative letter spacing.
Option 2: draw your letters
No font maker needed.
- Open My handwriting and scroll to Draw your own letters.
- Draw the highlighted letter on the pad. Sit it on the solid line; capitals reach the top dashed line, and small letters like a, e and o reach the middle one.
- Click Save and next, and work through the letters you use most. Anything you have not drawn is written in the handwriting style you picked, so you can start with lowercase letters only.
- Keep Write with my drawn letters on.
The line drift, slant and messiness settings apply to drawn letters too, so the page does not look stamped even though each letter was drawn once.

Neither the font nor the drawings leave your device. Drawn letters are kept in this browser's storage; clear them any time with Delete all.
Before you submit
A page in your own handwriting font is still generated. If work must be handwritten, write it yourself; use this for notes, letters, cards and design work.
