OpenArabic has 26 free Arabic tools, and every one of them works in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for. Type Arabic on any keyboard, convert Arabic to English letters, see your name in Arabic script, try 12 calligraphy fonts, check today’s Hijri date, or drill the alphabet and common words with quizzes and games.
Each tool sits on its own page beside a short guide to the Arabic behind it, so you can read why a letter changes shape or why a name is spelled the way it is. None of the tools sends what you type anywhere.
