Lingua Ink: Name Art Maker

Bhanuka Isuru

About this app

Your name looks different in every language. Lingua Ink shows you how — and turns it into something worth keeping.

Type a name, a word or a short phrase. Pick from 124 languages. Watch it appear in Arabic, Japanese, Tamil, Hebrew, Korean, Greek — in the real script, with the right font, written the way a native speaker would write it.

Then design it. Then download it.


WRITTEN PROPERLY, NOT JUST SWAPPED

Names are not translated word-for-word. A name is transliterated, so it still sounds like your name when a native speaker reads it aloud. Words and phrases are translated for meaning instead. Lingua Ink knows the difference.

Every result comes with the romanised spelling, a pronunciation hint, and other valid ways to write it — tap any one to swap it in.


124 LANGUAGES, IN THEIR OWN SCRIPTS

Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Hebrew and other right-to-left scripts render properly. All 22 of India's scheduled languages are here, including Odia, Santali, Manipuri and Bodo. So are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Khmer, Burmese, Amharic, Georgian, Armenian, Tibetan and Dhivehi.

Fonts are filtered to the script you chose, so you never end up with empty boxes where the letters should be.


DESIGN IT

• 25 backgrounds across gradient, luxe, festive and graphic styles
• Describe a mood and have a colour palette generated for it
• Use any photo from your gallery
• Dozens of display fonts, matched to your script
• Solid or gradient text, outlines, shadows, opacity
• Five canvas shapes: square, portrait, story, landscape, A4
• Drag your text anywhere on the canvas


PUT IT ON A MUG

Wrap your design around a 3D mug and spin it with your finger. Export it as a looping animated GIF, or as a still photo. Four ceramic finishes.


DOWNLOAD IT

Save as PNG, JPG or PDF at up to 3200px. Images go straight to your gallery. Share anywhere.


YOUR WORK IS YOURS

Designs are saved to your account as recipes, not pictures — a few hundred bytes each, re-created perfectly when you open them. Your images are never uploaded to a server. Reopen any past design and keep editing it.

Sign in with Google or email. Delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, any time.


Perfect for gifts, tattoos you are still thinking about, wedding stationery, shop signage, social posts, or just finding out what your name looks like in a script you have never seen before.
