A self-hostable web application that converts typed text into images (or PDFs) simulating handwriting, using uploaded fonts, background images, and adjustable randomness parameters. It is built with a Vue frontend and a FastAPI backend that renders handwriting images asynchronously.

Use cases

• convert text to handwriting images
• generate handwritten-looking pdf from text
• simulate handwriting with custom fonts
• turn essay text into handwritten pages
• create handwriting images with lined paper background
• extract text from pdf or docx and render as handwriting

When to choose

• you need realistic simulated handwriting output as images or a PDF
• you want to self-host and control fonts, backgrounds, and rendering parameters
• you need to process long documents with pagination and async rendering

When to avoid

• you need genuine handwriting recognition or OCR
• you want a simple offline CLI without running a web service
• you need vector or editable text output rather than raster images
