A Diwani calligraphy paint on a living-room wall above a low console: the kind of piece a student's design can become

If you study design, architecture, Arabic or art, you can use Mashq Studio Pro free for three months. It is open to any student with a valid student ID, in any country. No payment card is asked for, and nothing renews by itself.

Start the student trial. It takes about two minutes.

What you get

  • 100 clean downloads a month. SVG, PNG and PDF, with no stamp on them, for portfolios, posters, coursework and print.
  • 42 Arabic calligraphy styles. Naskh, Thuluth, Diwani, Ruq'ah, Kufi, Nastaliq and more, with kashida, layers and vowels.
  • Your own work. Your saved projects and what you make stay yours when the trial ends.

How to start

  1. Sign in with your email. Any address works, not only a school one.
  2. Photograph the front of your student ID, flat and in good light.
  3. A clear card with a date is read in seconds, and Studio Pro opens on your device. A card with no date is read by a person, who answers by email.

The picture of your card is deleted at the decision. We keep your email, your school, the country, the card's date and a one-way fingerprint of the card, so that each card has one trial. The privacy page has the details.

Who counts as a student

Anyone at a school, college, university or institute who holds a student ID that is valid today. Under 18, ask a parent or guardian to agree with you. Each student and each card has one trial.

What to make with it

A poster for a typography course. A thesis cover with its title in Thuluth. A cut file for a laser project. A name, a line of poetry or a logo study set in several scripts, to compare them. If you are choosing a script, read the six scripts explained and Diwani against Thuluth first.

When the design should become a real piece

The Studio is also how a design reaches a wall or a desk: it can be made in the UAE and delivered. For something small for a graduation or a teacher, the shop has ready pieces too: the Calligraphy Mug at AED 50, and poetry paints such as Begin with Yourself and Stand for the Teacher from AED 70. See all the teacher gifts.

After the three months

The trial ends by itself and nothing is charged. We email you a week before. If you want to carry on, the plans are here.
