Tips for Marathi thumbnails

Check ळ before you choose

Type a word with ळ, like बाळ or वेळ, before you settle on a font. Every font on this page has it, but if you use another font elsewhere, that's the letter most likely to be missing.

Keep it to two lines

Marathi words are often long, and Devanagari needs room above and below for matras. Two short lines read better on a phone than one long line, so try the Split into 2 lines button when a font says it's too small.

Broken letters in an app? Use the PNG

Editors that can't join Devanagari conjuncts break words apart. The PNG from this page is drawn by your browser, which joins them correctly, so it looks right in any app.

Using the fonts in your app

Frequently asked questions

Are Hindi fonts and Marathi fonts the same?
They use the same script, Devanagari, so most fonts do both. The difference is a few letters, mainly ळ, which some Hindi-only fonts don't have. All the fonts on this page include it.
Which font is best for a Marathi thumbnail?
Baloo 2 is the safe bold choice. Mukta and Hind are cleaner for news and education, and Khand fits long words because it's narrow.
Are these Marathi fonts free for commercial use?
Yes. All 12 are under the SIL Open Font License or Apache 2.0, which allow commercial use, including thumbnails on monetized channels. Each download includes its license file.
How do I add Marathi fonts to PixelLab or CapCut?
Download the font, extract the ZIP, and import the .ttf in the app's font list. If letters break in the app, download your text as a PNG here instead: it's already shaped correctly.
