# WriteGIF

> Free browser-based tools that turn typed text into handwriting: an animated GIF that writes itself stroke by stroke, a PNG, a print-ready PDF, a signature or a styled name. Every tool runs in the visitor's browser; nothing is uploaded. No account, no watermark, no limit.

## Key facts

- Every tool is free: no account, no watermark, no usage limit.
- Everything runs in the visitor's browser. Text, fonts and uploaded GIFs are never sent to a server.
- Handwriting animations are drawn stroke by stroke from the font's glyph outlines, with per-letter variation, rather than a static font fading in.
- Visitors can load their own .ttf or .otf font; it is traced in the browser and then works in every tool.
- Ready-made writing GIFs (408 in total, in English, Spanish, German, Portuguese and French) can be downloaded and reused: free for personal and commercial use, with no attribution required and no watermark.
- Most library GIFs have a white background; the transparent collection has none.
- The site is published in English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, French, with translated URLs.
