Stuck on a computer without an Arabic keyboard? An online keyboard shows a full Arabic layout in your browser: click the letters, or type with your physical keyboard through a phonetic mapping (where, roughly, the Latin key matching each sound produces the Arabic letter).
It also handles the details that make Arabic text look right: letters join correctly right-to-left, and you can add diacritics (harakat) such as fatha, damma, and shadda for vowel marks and emphasis. When you are done, copy the text straight into WhatsApp, documents, or social media.
Type Arabic in 3 steps
- Open the faymox Arabic Keyboard.
- Click the on-screen letters, or type with your physical keyboard using the phonetic layout.
- Add diacritics if you need them, then copy the finished text to anywhere you like.
FAQ
How do I type Arabic on a Latin keyboard?
Use the phonetic mapping: each Latin key produces the Arabic letter it sounds like, so you can type by sound without memorizing a new layout. Or just click the on-screen keys.
Can I add diacritics (harakat)?
Yes — fatha, damma, kasra, shadda, and sukun are available as separate keys, useful for religious text, poetry, or teaching materials where vowels matter.
Is the Arabic keyboard free?
Completely free, no install and no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser, and your text is never sent anywhere.
