Urdu PDF Editor: free, private, no sign-up

Urdu needs more than an Arabic font: letters like ٹ, ڈ, ڑ, ں, ھ, ہ and ے, and for many readers the flowing Nastaliq style. This editor has both. Pick Noto Nastaliq Urdu or Gulzar for classic Nastaliq, or Noto Naskh Arabic, Lateef and Scheherazade New for a clear Naskh style.

Naskh fonts are saved as real, selectable text in the PDF. Nastaliq is so complex that it is usually saved as a sharp, high-resolution picture of your text, which looks perfect on screen and in print. Use it to fill Urdu forms, write names and addresses, or add notes in Urdu to any document.
