Step-by-Step: Creating Your First Beautiful Urdu Text

Step 1: Enter Your Urdu Text

Click into the text input area. Type or paste your Urdu text. You can write anything – a poem, an article, a social media post, educational material, or just a test sentence.

Example text to try:

اللہ نے اس دنیا میں خوب صورتی کے لیے بے شمار چیزیں رکھی ہیں۔ محبت، امن، اور بھائی چارگی جیسی خوبیاں انسان کو دوسری مخلوق سے ممتاز کرتی ہیں۔

As you type, you will notice the live preview window updating instantly. This is one of the most powerful features of Nastaleeq Web Pro. You see exactly how your text will look – before you ever publish.

Step 2: Choose Your Font

Click the Font Family dropdown. You will see twenty carefully curated fonts organized into categories:

Authentic Nastaleeq Fonts (Urdu Script):

• Jameel Noori Nastaleeq – The classic standard for Urdu publishing

• Jameel Noori Nastaleeq Kasheeda – Extended spacing and flowing connections

• Alvi Nastaleeq – Elegant and refined, perfect for poetry

• Pak Nastaleeq – Traditional and timeless

• Noto Nastaliq Urdu – Google’s modern, clean Nastaleeq

Arabic/Naskh Fonts (Excellent Urdu Support):

• Scheherazade New – Beautiful for long-form reading

• Amiri – Classical Arabic typeface with great Urdu support

• Lateef – Clean, readable, ideal for educational materials

• Harmattan – Simple and clear for beginners

Modern Urdu-Friendly Fonts:

• El Messiri, Reem Kufi, Baloo Bhaijaan 2, Tajawal, Cairo

System Fonts for Compatibility:

• Traditional Arabic, Urdu Typesetting, Microsoft Uighur, Arial

Select different fonts and watch the preview change. Each font has its own personality. Find the one that matches your message.

As we explored in our Nastaleeq vs Naskh comparison, choosing the right script makes a significant difference in how your audience perceives your content.

Step 3: Adjust Font Size

Use the Font Size slider to adjust your text size. Drag left for smaller text (16px minimum) or right for larger text (72px maximum). The current size is displayed above the slider.

Guidelines for font size:

• 16-20px: Fine print, footnotes, captions

• 24-32px: Standard body text for articles and blogs

• 36-48px: Headings and subheadings

• 52-72px: Large headlines, banners, posters

The live preview updates as you slide, so you can see exactly how your text will appear at different sizes.

Step 4: Select Font Weight

Choose from Normal (400), Bold (700), or Extra Bold (900) using the Font Weight dropdown.

• Normal: Standard reading text, most body content

• Bold: Emphasis, headings, key phrases

• Extra Bold: Strong emphasis, large headlines, posters

Again, the preview updates instantly. Experiment with different weights to see what works best for your content.

Step 5: Generate Web-Ready Code

Once your text looks perfect in the preview, it is time to copy the code.

Click the “Copy Web-Ready Code” button. Nastaleeq Web Pro instantly generates clean, inline-styled HTML and CSS that preserves all your font selections, size adjustments, and weight preferences. The code is copied to your clipboard automatically.

You will see a confirmation message: “✅ Web-ready code copied!”

Step 6: Paste Anywhere

Now you can paste your beautifully formatted Urdu text anywhere that accepts HTML:

• WordPress – Paste into any post, page, or widget (Classic Editor, Block Editor, or Elementor HTML widget)

• Custom HTML blocks – Any website builder that supports HTML

• Email newsletters – Most email marketing platforms accept HTML

• Learning management systems – Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard

• Any website – Paste directly into your site’s code

For WordPress users, we also offer an even simpler method. Use our dedicated shortcode: nastaleeq_web_pro. This embeds the entire tool directly into your post or page. No copying and pasting required. As announced in our launch post, this integration makes Nastaleeq Web Pro the most WordPress-friendly Urdu typography tool available.

Pro Tips for Better Results

Tip 1: Test Before You Publish

Always use the live preview to test different fonts, sizes, and weights before copying your code. What looks good in theory may not look right in practice. Nastaleeq Web Pro‘s instant preview saves you from publish-and-pray cycles.

Tip 2: Match Font to Content

• Poetry: Use authentic Nastaleeq fonts like Jameel Noori or Alvi Nastaleeq

• News articles: Use clean Naskh fonts like Scheherazade New or Lateef

• Children’s content: Use playful fonts like Baloo Bhaijaan 2

• Formal documents: Use traditional fonts like Pak Nastaleeq or Traditional Arabic

Tip 3: Consider Your Audience

Not all devices have the same fonts installed. Nastaleeq Web Pro includes system font fallbacks (like Arial) to ensure your text is always readable, even on older devices.

Tip 4: Stay Within the Word Limit

The free version of Nastaleeq Web Pro has a 1000-word limit. The word counter at the top of the interface shows your current count. If you need more than 1000 words, consider our Pro subscription for unlimited text.

Tip 5: Use the CSS Copy Button

Need just the CSS styles without the HTML wrapper? Click the “Copy CSS Code” button. This generates a clean .urdu-text CSS class that you can add to your existing stylesheet.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: The preview looks different after pasting

Solution: Ensure you are pasting into an HTML-aware editor. WordPress’s Classic Editor, Block Editor (using Custom HTML block), and Elementor’s HTML widget all support HTML. Plain text editors will not render the code.

Issue: The font doesn’t look the same on my website

Solution: Check that your website allows custom fonts. Most modern themes do. The code generated by Nastaleeq Web Pro includes inline styles that override theme defaults.

Issue: I pasted the code but nothing appears

Solution: Make sure you copied the entire code snippet. The “Copy Web-Ready Code” button copies everything you need. If you accidentally copied only part, try again.

Issue: The word counter shows I’ve exceeded 1000 words

Solution: Edit your text to reduce the word count, or upgrade to Nastaleeq Web Pro Pro for unlimited words. The Pro subscription also includes priority support and early access to new features.
