Typing Arabic without an Arabic keyboard
Most keyboards outside Arabic-speaking countries don't have Arabic letters printed on them, and switching your operating system's input language is more setup than most people need for typing the occasional word or phrase. This virtual keyboard skips that entirely — click a letter and it's inserted where your cursor is, exactly like typing.
It includes the Harakat (diacritic) row too, so you're not limited to unvocalized text. Once you're happy with what you've typed, copy it straight into a chat, document, or social post.
Want the full editor with undo/redo, download, and font-size controls? Use Arabic Writing Online. Focused specifically on diacritics? See Arabic Diacritics. Converting English into Arabic instead? Try the English to Arabic Translator.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an Arabic keyboard to use this?
No. This virtual keyboard works entirely in the browser — click letters to insert them, no operating system language pack or keyboard layout change required.
Can I use my physical keyboard at the same time?
Yes, if you already have an Arabic layout enabled you can type directly; if not, click the on-screen letters. Both insert into the same text box and can be mixed with English.
Does the keyboard include Arabic diacritics (Harakat)?
Yes — a Harakat toolbar with Fatha, Kasra, Damma, Sukun, Shadda, and more is included below the letter keys, along with quick Shadda+Harakat combination buttons.
Can I copy the text I type here into another app?
Yes — it's built from standard Unicode Arabic characters, so copying it into email, documents, or social media preserves the letters and any diacritics correctly.
