China Brush

China Brush is a web-based Chinese calligraphy AI generator that turns your name into traditional brush-style artwork in seconds, using AI to render authentic ink strokes on rice paper.

What is China Brush?

China Brush is an AI-powered generator for traditional Chinese brush calligraphy. You input any text (Chinese, English, or other scripts), and its AI renders that text as an authentic calligraphy artwork with ink textures and brush flow, download-ready as a high-resolution image. The generator is fully web-based, runs directly in the browser, and is offered by the China Brush team at chinabrush.art. Trusted by over 10,000 users worldwide and used in more than 50 countries, China Brush is designed to make Chinese calligraphy accessible to everyone.

Who is it for?

How does China Brush work?

Using China Brush takes three steps: type your name (or any text) into the generator, adjust the prompt template and aspect ratio, and click generate. The AI produces a calligraphy artwork with expressive brush strokes and authentic ink flow, which you can preview and download. The default prompt emphasizes traditional elements, pristine paper, and elaborate negative space for an authentic calligraphy feel. You can also customize the prompt with Enhanced, Minimal, Weighted, or Custom templates.

FAQ

Does China Brush support English names?

Yes, it supports Chinese, English, and any other language. Chinese works best because the AI was trained to prioritize traditional Chinese calligraphy, but non-Chinese text is also rendered in brush style.

Can I use the calligraphy for commercial purposes?

Yes. Every paid tier includes a commercial use license, so you can use generated artwork in client work, merchandise, or marketing materials. Basic tier also includes that license.

How many generations can I get with my credits?

Each generation costs 3 credits. Basic (60 credits) yields 20 generations, Professional (180) yields 60, and Master (600) yields 200.

What aspect ratios does China Brush support?

The generator offers five aspect ratios: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, and 9:16. The optimal choice depends on your intended use, such as square avatars or wide wallpapers.

Are all features available now?

Some Professional and Master tier features — the calligraphy font library, premium backgrounds, and personalized seals — are marked as "Planned" on the pricing page, meaning they aren't available yet. The core generation works for all tiers.
