All features in the current version.

ما تقدمه الأداة

جميع ميزات الإصدار الحالي.

Smart Kashida Justification

Measures each line and inserts the exact number of Kashidas needed to reach the bounding box width. Works on multi-line text layers.

تسوية ذكية بالكشيدة

تقيس كل سطر وتدرج العدد الدقيق من الكشيدات للوصول إلى عرض مربع النص. تعمل على طبقات النصوص متعددة الأسطر.

Priority-Based Placement

Follows classical rules: Kashidas prefer positions after سـ صـ شـ, before تـ دـ هـ, and after جـ عـ فـ — in that order.

وضع الكشيدة حسب الأولوية

تتبع القواعد الكلاسيكية: تُفضَّل الكشيدة بعد سـ صـ شـ، قبل تـ دـ هـ، وبعد جـ عـ فـ — بهذا الترتيب.

Skip Words & Lines

Skip the first N words per line, skip lines with few words, or exclude specific line numbers — useful to skip the last short line.

تخطي الكلمات والأسطر

تخطي أول عدة كلمات في كل سطر، أو الأسطر ذات الكلمات القليلة، أو أرقام أسطر محددة — مفيد لتخطي السطر الأخير القصير.

Auto Reflow

Rearranges words into lines automatically by a target words-per-line count before applying Kashida.

إعادة التدفق التلقائي

يعيد ترتيب الكلمات في أسطر تلقائياً بعدد كلمات مستهدف لكل سطر قبل تطبيق الكشيدة.

4 Supported Languages

Precise algorithms with specialized rules for Arabic, Kurdish (Sorani), Persian (Farsi), and Urdu (Naskh).

دعم ٤ لغات

خوارزميات دقيقة مع قواعد متخصصة لدعم اللغة العربية، والكردية (سوراني)، والفارسية، والأردية (نسخ).

Tashkeel-Safe

Detects diacritics (تشكيل) in the text, strips them before measuring, then restores them exactly after Kashida insertion.

آمن مع التشكيل

يكتشف التشكيل في النص ويزيله قبل القياس، ثم يعيده بدقة في مواضعه الصحيحة بعد إدراج الكشيدة.

How It Works

Four steps from raw text to justified output.

كيف تعمل

أربع خطوات من النص الخام إلى المخرج المضبوط.

1

Reflow (optional)

Set a words-per-line value to let the tool reshape your paragraph before anything else.

إعادة التدفق (اختياري)

حدد عدد الكلمات في السطر ليعيد البرنامج تشكيل الفقرة قبل أي خطوة أخرى.

2

Measure

The tool measures the longest line to determine the target width for all other lines.

القياس

تقيس الأداة أطول سطر لتحديد العرض المستهدف لبقية الأسطر.

3

Insert Kashidas

For each shorter line, Kashidas are added one by one at priority positions until the target width is reached.

إدراج الكشيدات

لكل سطر أقصر، تُضاف الكشيدات واحدة تلو الأخرى في مواضع الأولوية حتى يُبلغ العرض المستهدف.

4

Restore

Tashkeel is reapplied. The text layer is updated with the final justified content.

الاستعادة

يُعاد التشكيل إلى موضعه ويتم تحديث طبقة النص بالمحتوى المضبوط النهائي.

FAQ

أسئلة شائعة

Does it work on multi-line text layers? هل تعمل على طبقات النص متعددة الأسطر؟
Yes. The tool processes each line independently. It skips the longest line (used as the target) and justifies all others to match it. نعم. تعالج الأداة كل سطر باستقلالية. تتخطى أطول سطر (المستخدم كمرجع) وتسوي بقية الأسطر لتطابقه.
Will the text still be editable after applying? هل يبقى النص قابلاً للتحرير بعد التطبيق؟
Yes. Kashidas are plain Unicode characters inserted into the text string. You can edit, undo, or use "Remove Kashida" to strip them at any time. نعم. الكشيدات حروف يونيكود عادية مدرجة داخل النص. يمكنك التحرير أو التراجع أو استخدام "إزالة الكشيدة" لحذفها في أي وقت.
Why does AE sometimes place Kashidas differently than Illustrator? لماذا يضع الأفتر إفكتس الكشيدة في مكان مختلف أحياناً عن إليستريتور؟
Each app renders Kashida characters with slightly different glyph widths. The tool's measurement loop compensates automatically — the same priority rules apply in both, but more Kashidas may be needed in AE to fill the same visual gap. كل برنامج يرسم حرف الكشيدة بعرض بكسل مختلف قليلاً. تعوّض الأداة ذلك تلقائياً — نفس قواعد الأولوية تُطبَّق في كليهما، لكن قد يحتاج الأفتر إفكتس عدداً أكبر من الكشيدات لملء المسافة البصرية ذاتها.
