Create Your First Calligraphy

Let's create a beautiful Hindi calligraphy design in IndiaFont V6 in just 5 minutes! You can also try our online calligraphy generator for quick results.

Step 1: Start a Design

Open IndiaFont V6 and either:

  • •Open a template - a complete design where you only change the words, or
  • •Start a new design - choose a size (Free designs go up to 800 × 600 px; Pro designs can be any size, up to 8192 × 8192 px)

Step 2: Add Text

  1. 1.Click Add Text
  2. 2.Type your text in Hindi (e.g., "शुभ विवाह")

Tip: You type Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati the normal way (Unicode); IndiaFont V6 converts it to AMS calligraphy by itself, and it can suggest words while you type in English.

Step 3: Choose a Font

  1. 1.With the text selected, open Fonts
  2. 2.Browse the 342 AMS calligraphy fonts (the Free plan has 27 of them)
  3. 3.Filter by language: Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, English
  4. 4.Click any font to apply it

Step 4: Use Quick Calligraphy

This is where the magic happens:

  1. 1.Select your text
  2. 2.Click Quick Calligraphy
  3. 3.Watch the text change its letter shapes!
  4. 4.Click again for new variations
  5. 5.Stop when you find the perfect design

Or let Calligraphy AI write it: click Calligraphy, type a word and pick one of the results. It comes in as editable vector art.

Step 5: Customize (Optional)

Fine-tune your design:

  • •Click a single letter and pick another of its letter shapes (or press Ctrl+. and Ctrl+,)
  • •Use Alom Wilom and Aa ki Matra shapes for decorative starts, ends and matras

Step 6: Add Effects

Make it pop:

  • •Add colour, gradient, stroke and shadow in the Edit panel
  • •Use Warp for curved text (it stays editable)
  • •Try the ready text effects for one-click styling

Step 7: Export

Save your creation with Download (export):

  • •PNG - Transparent background for graphics
  • •JPG - Photos and social media
  • •SVG / PDF / EPS - Vector for print and scaling
  • •The Free plan exports JPG with a watermark; Pro exports every format without one

Working in CorelDRAW or Adobe? The IndiaFont panel puts your calligraphy straight into your document there.

Congratulations! You've created your first calligraphy!
