Restyle transforms selected handwritten notes into a cleaner, more readable handwriting style while preserving the original content, layout, color, size, and stroke width.
Restyle is launching first on Apple devices. Android and Web availability is planned for later. Initial Windows availability will be limited to selected HP models. Restyle works only on eligible text strokes, supports selected languages, and uses Goodnotes-provided handwriting styles.
Where you can use Restyle
You can use Restyle with handwritten text in Notebooks and Whiteboards.
Restyle your handwriting
- Open a Notebook or Whiteboard.
- Use the Lasso Tool to select the handwriting you want to clean up.
- Select the Smart Ink icon in the object menu.
- Select Restyle from the handwriting editing menu.
- Choose a handwriting style from the style preview or dropdown.
- Wait for Goodnotes to restyle the selected handwriting.
- Review the result. Select Undo if you want to restore your original handwriting.
While Restyle is processing, the selected region is locked, but you can continue using the rest of the page. You can cancel during processing. Leaving the page, switching documents, or placing Goodnotes in the background also cancels the change and restores the original handwriting.
