Arabic design
Arabic social media designs, composed right to left
Canvora makes Arabic Instagram posts, carousels, stories, YouTube thumbnails and slides that are laid out for right-to-left reading from the start, with letters joined the way they’re written and your brand’s colours. Describe what you need in Arabic or English.
A five-slide Instagram carousel for Al Wadi Roastery, a specialty coffee roaster in Riyadh. Made with Canvora.
Composed for Arabic, not mirrored
Flipping an English layout doesn’t make it Arabic. Here is the same brief, made once in English and once in Arabic.
- Reading starts at the top right, so the headline sits there and the photo moves to the left.
- Each step number leads its slide from the right, here in Arabic-Indic digits (١، ٢، ٣).
- Letters join the way they’re written, with no broken or isolated forms.
- Mixed pieces like “V60” and “٢٥٠ مل” sit in the right place inside the Arabic line.

Real designs, generated in Arabic. Not mockups.
The details that usually go wrong
- Connected letters
- An Arabic letter changes shape depending on where it sits in a word. Canvora draws words joined, the way they’re written, not as separate letters.
- Right alignment and reading order
- Text starts on the right, and the layout follows the eye from the headline to the details to the call to action.
- Numbers the way you want them
- Arabic-Indic (٣٠) or Western (30). Write them as you want them to appear, or say which in your request.
- Arabic and English together
- Brand names written in Latin letters stay as they are, and each line keeps its own direction.
- Modern Standard Arabic or dialect
- Canvora uses your words. For Gulf, Egyptian or Levantine phrasing, write the text yourself and ask for it to be used exactly as written.
- Room for each platform
- On stories and thumbnails, text stays out of the areas the platform covers with its own buttons.
How to make an Arabic design
Describe it
In Arabic or English. For example: “Instagram post for my bakery in Jeddah about our Ramadan offer, in Arabic.”
Check the plan
Canvora suggests the sizes, the number of slides and a style, and applies your brand kit if you’ve saved one.
Create and adjust
Change any line by asking, for example: “Change the headline to: عروض الشتاء بدأت”.
Already have the English version?
Canvora can translate a finished design into Arabic and keep the layout and photos exactly as they are, with the text right-aligned in place. That suits campaigns that must look identical in every market. When the design is mainly for an Arabic-speaking audience, ask for it in Arabic from the start.

Questions about Arabic design
Can Canvora design in Arabic?
Yes. Write your request in Arabic, or ask for the design in Arabic. The text comes out in Arabic and the layout is composed right to left.
Does it handle right-to-left layouts?
Yes. Designs made in Arabic are built for right-to-left reading from the start. Designs translated into Arabic keep their layout, with the text right-aligned in place.
Can I choose Arabic-Indic or Western numbers?
Yes. Write the numbers the way you want them to appear, or say “use Western digits” in your request.
Can I mix Arabic and English in one design?
Yes. Say which text is in Arabic, which is in English, and which one leads. Each line keeps its own direction, and brand names stay as written.
Which kind of Arabic does it write?
Usually Modern Standard Arabic. For a dialect, write the lines yourself and ask Canvora to use your text exactly as written.
Is Canvora the same as Canva?
No. Canvora is a different product. You describe what you need in words, and it designs finished visuals in the right shape for each platform.
How much does it cost?
New accounts start with 150 free credits. A single image is 10 credits and a carousel slide is 15, so a five-slide carousel is 75.
