Is there a free Arabic calligraphy tool?
Yes, and this is one — with the boundary stated rather than discovered at the export button. Designing is free and always is: every open script, layers, kashida, textures, the AR preview, saved projects, no account and no card. Your first four downloads are free too — the first three carry a small ownership stamp, the fourth is clean, and the design is yours either way.
After that a clean export costs something, and here is the whole of it: AED 25 for seven days, AED 49 for three months, or nothing at all if you order a piece — any mashq.ae order of AED 250+ carries three months with it, AED 450+ six, AED 900+ twelve. There is no monthly subscription to forget about; a pass is a code that expires on its own. The pricing page says the same numbers, and a test fails if the two pages ever disagree.
بديل كليم: صمّم بالخط العربي ثم اقتنِ قطعتك
تبحث عن بديل لـ«كليم» أو عن مولّد خط عربي مجاني؟ ستوديو مشق يفتح كل الخطوط — النسخ والكوفي والديواني المرخّص والثلث والرقعة والفارسي — مع تصدير متجهي SVG وPNG وPDF وDXF. والمقارنة أعلاه بحسب الصفحات العلنية للمزوّدين بتاريخ 28 أغسطس 2026 وقد تتغيّر.
هل هو مجاني؟ التصميم مجاني دائمًا، وأول أربع عمليات تنزيل مجانية — تحمل الثلاث الأولى ختمًا صغيرًا والرابعة نظيفة، والتصميم لك في الحالين. وبعدها: 25 درهمًا لسبعة أيام، أو 49 درهمًا لثلاثة أشهر، أو بلا مقابل مع طلبك — فكل طلب من متجر mashq.ae بقيمة 250 درهمًا فأكثر يمنحك ثلاثة أشهر، و450 درهمًا ستة أشهر، و900 درهم اثني عشر شهرًا. ولا يوجد اشتراك شهري تنساه؛ فالاشتراك رمز ينتهي وحده.
وما يميّزنا: عاين تصميمك على قطعة حقيقية بعرض ثلاثي الأبعاد واطلبها مصنوعةً في دبي. والتوصيل داخل الإمارات برسم ثابت قدره 50 درهمًا لما يصل إلى قطعتين — لا مجانًا، وهذا ما تقوله صفحة الأسعار نفسها.
