Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Welcome to the FAQ section of Arabic Text Converter. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about fixing Arabic text, using it in design apps like Photoshop and CapCut, and how the tool works behind the scenes.

1. What is Arabic Text Converter?

Arabic Text Converter is a free online tool that fixes broken or reversed Arabic text that often appears incorrectly in design or video software like Photoshop, CapCut, After Effects, or Illustrator. It converts the text into a Unicode-compatible format so Arabic letters connect and display properly.

2. Why does Arabic text appear reversed or disconnected in Photoshop or CapCut?

Most Western design tools (like Photoshop or CapCut) use a Left-to-Right (LTR) text engine by default, which cannot correctly handle Right-to-Left (RTL) languages like Arabic. This causes Arabic letters to appear separated or reversed. The Arabic Text Converter rearranges and reshapes your text so it appears correctly in those tools.

3. How do I use the converter?

  1. Paste or type your Arabic text into the Input box.
  2. Click Process Input to fix and reformat the text.
  3. Copy the corrected text from the Output box.
  4. Paste it into your design software (Photoshop, CapCut, After Effects, etc.).

That’s it! The Arabic letters will now appear properly connected and in the correct direction.

4. Does it work with Photoshop?

Yes! After converting the text with our tool, simply paste it into Photoshop. If letters still appear disconnected, enable Middle Eastern Features:

5. Can I use this with CapCut or other video editors?

Yes, you can paste the converted Arabic text into CapCut or any video editor that supports custom fonts. Make sure you select an Arabic-compatible font (for example: Amiri, Cairo, or Noto Naskh Arabic).

6. Does this tool support diacritics (Harakat)?

Yes. By default, Arabic Text Converter preserves Harakat (like Fatha, Damma, Kasra, Sukun). You can also choose to remove them if your target font doesn’t support these marks.

7. How can I choose between Arabic and English numbers?

Click the Numbers button in the tool to select your preferred numeral type:

The converter automatically replaces the numbers in your text accordingly.

8. Can I type Arabic text using my English keyboard?

Yes. The tool includes an on-screen Arabic keyboard that allows you to click Arabic letters to type even if your physical keyboard doesn’t support Arabic.

9. My text still looks wrong after pasting. What should I do?

Here are a few quick fixes:

10. Does Arabic Text Converter change my original text meaning?

No. The converter only changes the text encoding and character shaping so it displays correctly. It never alters words, meanings, or grammar.

11. Can I use this tool offline?

No, the current version works online only. However, you can use it freely on any browser without installation or login.

12. Is my data or text stored on your server?

No. All conversions happen securely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is not sent, saved, or shared anywhere.

13. Does this support Persian, Urdu, or other RTL scripts?

The converter primarily supports Arabic script, but it also works partially with Persian (Farsi) and Urdu. We are continuously improving support for additional characters and ligatures in these languages.

14. What browsers are supported?
