What HanziPress is
HanziPress is a free web toolkit for Chinese learners, teachers, parents, and classrooms. It turns Chinese text, vocabulary, textbook lessons, or poems into printable handwriting worksheets, with Tianzige, Mige, or square grids and optional pinyin, stroke-order guides, and tracing guides. Users can preview and download vector PDFs sized for US Letter or A4 paper, and make printable flashcards from their own vocabulary, HSK lists, or textbook lessons. Online practice supports tracing with stroke-order feedback or writing from memory, and displays pronunciation, meanings, and HSK levels. The worksheet generator covers about 9,500 simplified and traditional characters with stroke-order paths. Resources include HSK 3.0 levels 1–9, with levels 7–9 combined, and vocabulary from Integrated Chinese, New HSK Course, and New Practical Chinese Reader. Handwriting recognition accepts mouse, trackpad, finger, or stylus input. The site says it stores handwriting only when users choose to save it. Worksheet creation, online practice, and PDF downloads are free without an account.
