But Wave.video Doesn't Support Arabic & Non-Latin Text?

Correct. However! We've found a way to circumvent this, thanks to a creative user and our support team. 

All you need to do is create a vector file/image and upload it to Wave.video using any of the sticker, logo, or watermark features. 

How Do I Create One?

You can use a few programs to create vector images, paths, or outlines, such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or even Google Slides.

There are also a myriad of free websites that allow you to convert images into vector files, such as this one.

I'm going to explain how to use Google Slides to create vector files, as it is the most commonly used and the simplest solution.

Using Google Slides

Navigate to Google Slides and find/browse your Font Picker. You should see a ton of non-roman typefaces to choose from.

Add Fonts

You can add your fonts via the needed language by navigating to Font Picker > More Fonts. We've shown you how to do that with a video below.

Construct Your Message

When you have everything set, construct your message and choose the desired font size and color.

Remove the Background

In order to make this into a vector file, you need to remove the background of the text.

To do this, you must right click on the slide, and select Change Background > Color > Transparent

Downloading

Simply navigate to File > Download as > .PNG Image and wait for the download to complete on your computer or device.

Uploading to Wave.video as a Sticker

Then, all that is required of you is to navigate back to Wave.video and upload it as a Sticker!
