Ratings and Reviews

Good app, but blinking issue.

Hello, awesome plug-in, but I've found that some items may flicker on the page load, if your plugin is installed in Safari. usually it happens, when item has "transform: xxx" property in css. Then it flickers while loading and it happens only with your plug-in on and makes debugging more complex. Could you make it stop flickering? So much help!

A wonderful little Safari extension that identifies web fonts in use

While it’s new to the App Store, I’ve been using WhatFont for a while; it’s great for font geeks like me, designers and developers. When you open WhatFont the first time, it’ll ask you to activate it in Safari preferences; then it’ll install a little button next to the search window on Safari. When you click the button, it activates Whatfont, and when you hover over text on a website, it’ll display an elegant little “tooltip”-style bubble that tells you what font you’re seeing. Then, if you tap/click, a larger window opens that shows you the font family, stack info, style, weight, size, line height and hex number. An “Exit WhatFont” bubble-button sits at the top right of the Safari window, so you can deactivate it and get back to regular viewing as soon as you have your info. Truly helpful, very simple.

Very useful extension

Been using it since it was still hosted on GitHub. In the macOS Mojave update Apple shut down all extensions not from the Safari Extensions Gallery, so I'm quite happy it's come back on the App Store!

Font Identification Image Tips and FAQ

How do i identify fonts in an image.

Upload an image with type to our online font finder tool.

We automatically detect letters using optical character recognition (OCR), but you can adjust the selection.

Like magic, the Fontspring Matcherator scans your photo, searches for fonts that match, and generates the results. It just works!

How can I get better results in my font matches?

To get the best font matches:

Upload a high quality image where letters are large and clear, not blurry or pixelated.

Crop out extraneous shapes or glyphs using image editing software.

Keep the text horizontal. The font detector can identify glyphs with the most success when text is not rotated, distorted, or modified.

If Method 1 fails, try Method 2 to better identify glyphs.

Skip letters or characters that may lower accuracy.

If glyphs or characters aren’t found, increase the contrast and brightness of the image so the letters stand out. This helps the font analyzer extract your text and provide accurate results.

How can I identify text in multiple font styles?

If you want to detect several fonts in your image, either break it into separate images or crop it with our easy-to-use tool.

After uploading, highlight the first font and ensure the glyph boxes select each letter. “Matcherate It!” and pick the best match! Then repeat the process with the same image and highlight the second font.

Can the font identifier match cursive fonts?

Cursive or script fonts might not match well if letters are touching or connected. Find the best font by using image editing software to disconnect each letter before uploading.

If you’re still having trouble, search using our tags. Start with Script Fonts , Modern Calligraphy , or Brush Script , but other styles can be found via our Tags page or search bar.

How do I identify fonts in a Word document?

Take a screenshot of a portion of your document and upload it. Our advanced font identifier technology will analyze the image and recognize fonts in your screenshot.

Do I need to install anything?

Nope! Our font recognition app works in any modern web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari). You don’t even need to install a browser extension.

Is there an app to identify fonts from an image?

The Fontspring Matcherator can recognize and match fonts on your phone. Bookmark the website on your iOS or Android mobile device to quickly upload an image and get matches. It’s like Shazam® for fonts!

What Font Is - the best font finder tool

How it works.

Some use the system to find a specific font missing from the sources sent by the client or just because they see a nice font and want to know what font is this. We believe you should be able to use the font identifier to search a font regardless of the publisher, producer or foundry. Enjoy our font detector and good luck finding what the font you are looking for!

Drop your photo

Upload a clean image of the text containing the font you need to identify. The system uses advanced AI to find the font in 90% of the cases. The rest of 10% ‘misses’ are usually caused by low quality images (low resolution, text distorted, etc).

See here some examples of what a ‘good’ image looks like.

We’ll try to automatically separate the letters. For cursive fonts you will have to separate each letter with our advanced image editor.

Pick your font

We’ll show over 60 fonts very similar to the one in the image you have uploaded and with links to pages from where you can download or buy them. Please respect the work of the font makers and use the font according to the license (free or commercial) .

7 Best Font Finders by Image and URL

Let’s imagine the situation: you were surfing the internet and bumped into a perfect website with the most pleasing font you’ve ever seen. Just the one that would be ideal for the project you’re working on. But, how do you find out its name? Or, another scenario: you saw the loveliest font in that picture you downloaded that may look great on the poster you're working on in a graphic design app like Art Text or Amadine . You try to find it, but it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack with the myriad fonts available out there.

Luckily, you can turn to a tool designed specifically for identifying the font used in a design. In this article, we’re going to explore the 8 best font identifiers.

As you may guess, font finders inspect the design using advanced algorithms and identify fonts in an image and a website by comparing the given one against their database of fonts. The ones that search for fonts used in an image usually ask you to upload the image, whereas if you want to find a font used on a website, you usually only need to submit the URL. Font identifiers can be offered as an online tool, a downloadable app or a browser extension.

Web-Based Font Identifiers

9 Best Font Identifiers & Detectors From Images

Don't let your favorite type just pass you by — use a font finder instead discover the best tools to do a font search by image, text, and more..

If you have never used font detection tools, you will be very surprised by the diverse possibilities and accurate matches they offer. Similar to how machine learning is evolving, these algorithms, often related to the GAN model, have made a huge leap forward in recent years. 

Sometimes you just happen to see a great font in some random place, and weeks later, you feel the urge to use that exact typeface in your current project. Or, at least, a similar one. Of course, you can try contacting the author, but it is not always possible, especially if you saw the font somewhere on the street or even subway! 

Only a couple of years ago, hardly a single font finder showed accurate results. Now, you can rely on them more, and with only a single photo or screenshot, you should be able to identify any type — from popular serifs to decorative script fonts. 

To provide you with all the information you need for your future searches, I have decided to make a compilation of all existing font identifiers, from apps to browser extensions. I’ve also done comprehensive research and graded the experiences these tools offer. All to help you choose the best font finder for your needs. 

Types of Font Identifiers

There are two types of font identifiers depending on how they analyze the typeface and what features they offer: 

• Web-based extensions. They recognize highlighted text on a page and identify the font by accessing the website’s code. They can assess the font’s size, style, and color. However, these font identifiers are helpless if you want to detect a font on a sample image.
• Image-based font identifier tools. They can recognize specific attributes of the text in an image and match them with fonts in their databases. These tools can identify glyphs, and if the algorithm is well-written, then comes the magic: they suggest a font name from an available library. To get the most accurate results, you should make sure to upload an image in high resolution and provide only one typeface for analysis. Sometimes, even a couple of letters are already an extensive type sample!

In this selection, we’ll talk about font identifiers of both types, and we’ll also suggest some alternative tools in case none of them works for you. 

Font Identifiers From Images

WhatTheFont

How to Use:

• Upload or drag a sample image that contains the font you want to identify (you can draw a manual crop box around the text if the it takes up only a part of the image). The app will detect the text automatically.
• The software will show you a list of similar fonts to choose from.
• Provides suggestions in seconds
• Has almost no problems with hand-written fonts or patterned background
• Has an app for iOS and Android, so you can find a font wherever you go
• WhatTheFont library is limited to a single source
• Doesn’t detect OpenType features

WhatTheFont is a popular image-based font identifier that is fast, intuitive, and impressively accurate. To perform the search, it uses deep learning to search a collection of over 230,000 font styles on My Fonts for the best match to the typefaces in your photos and images. Yes, you heard it right: My Fonts is behind this magnificent tool. Their library is highly-curated and only contains high-quality fonts, both free and paid, so you are guaranteed to find an excellent solution for your project. 

This font finder comes as a desktop version and an iOS and Android app. The latter allows for even more extensive font identification: it works equally well with sans serif, serif, and even connected scripts. Plus, it lets you find more than one font from an image. The app automatically separates and identifies the letters and provides you with font matches in a matter of seconds, after which you can try out them with your own text — and all this is just inside your phone!

Font Matcherator by Fontspring

• Upload an image and draw a manual crop box around the font. The app will detect and identify individual glyphs.
• Font Matcherator will give you a list of fonts with links you can click to download for free or purchase the ones you like.
• Easy to use unless your images contain heavy graphics
• Works with Open Type (no other app that can do it)
• Has a great tags system
• Doesn’t provide any info about the required image size or format before you start uploading
• Only supports images under 2 MB
• If you upload an image via URL, there is no guarantee it will work

Font Matcherator is another great online tool for typeface identification that works much like WhatTheFont: it also checks the scanned fonts in its diverse database and looks for matches. Moreover, it is said to be able to quickly identify a font and almost any typography content details, including glyphs and Open Type features, with amazing accuracy. This font finder also searches the catalog of over 900,000 paid and free fonts, which is the icing on the cake. 

I loved that Font Matcherator allows manipulations with the uploaded image. For example, you can rotate it or select individual glyphs. However, when I uploaded the screenshots, the font identifier rejected them because of the large size: it only works with images under 2 MB. This means you might have to resize or crop your photo before using the platform which may be inconvenient when you need to identify font samples on the spot. Alternatively, you can copy-paste the image URL. But be careful: sometimes the site simply gives an error after you select typefaces on your image uploaded through the link.

What’s great is that they also have a video tutorial explaining how this font finder works. Moreover, they have a comprehensive system with font classifications and tags allowing you to easily browse typefaces split into categories.

What Font Is

• Upload an image with the font you want to identify and draw a crop box around it. Ensure the image is high resolution, and the letters are not distorted.
• Optimize the picture with the provided tools to make the font clear.
• Identify 3–5 characters following the instructions for better results.
• The system will provide you with 60+ similar fonts to the one in your image.
• Has one of the most extensive font databases and many tools to make font identification accurate
• You can adjust what alternative or similar fonts you want to be displayed in the results. For example, only free or paid options.
• Pop-ups might get annoying
• The process of identifying fonts takes more than just a few clicks, as you need to help the platform identify each letter
• The PRO membership is pricy

I have never heard of this font detector before, so I was pretty curious to check it out. I was immediately captivated by the message of What Font Is. It states that the user should be able to use the font identifier regardless of the publisher, producer, or foundry. And there are 900K+ fonts, paid and free, in their catalog. Doesn’t it sound great? Besides, What Font Is uses an advanced AI, which increases your chances of finding an exact match of the font in the image. The platform claims that it can identify fonts in 90% of the cases. 

For most typefaces, the platform will automatically separate the letters. For cursive fonts, you will have to separate each letter with their advanced image editor.

You can use What Font Is for free, but you can also upgrade to a PRO membership for $39 a year that’ll get you even better accuracy, zero ads, and free suggestions from Google Fonts as an alternative to expensive options. The best thing is, you will get PRO support which lets you contact the creators of the site who will identify the fonts for you!

• Has both an app for Mac and Windows and a browser extension for the most popular browsers (Chrome, Safari, and Firefox)
• Has sufficient instruments to identify fonts as well as selected letters and characters from a website
• The library could be more extensive

We’re done with image-based font identifiers, so let’s see what web-based solutions have to offer. Fonts Ninja is one of the most obvious choices. Fonts Ninja is a desktop app and a browser extension for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox that helps identify fonts used on websites by simply hovering over the text, providing you with the typeface name, size, and other relevant details. Additionally, Fonts Ninja provides features like font pairing suggestions, font favorites, and the ability to test and preview commercial fonts directly in your current project. The software offers a great user experience, which is a step up from any other font detector on the list. Plus, it is good at finding the exact font you look for. 

There are 3,000 fonts in Fonts Ninja’s collection, and if it doesn’t have an exact match, it will offer similar fonts. This font identifier is free for 15 days. After that, it’s $29/year.

• Install the tool and open the website to identify a font.

This font identifier is a free Google Chrome browser extension. It is a minimalist yet powerful workhorse for whenever you need to identify fonts on a website.

You can open as many info windows as you need, which might come in handy when you have to compare types with identical styles within a single page. 

This sleek font detector is used by over a million users (can you believe that?) and is loved by many creators worldwide. It’s an example of software that does exactly what you want from it. It will also help you find commercial fonts.

Type Sample by Typewolf

• Open the website and find the font you want to identify.
• Click the button of the app and hover over the text.
• Try out the font in the same tab and view detailed info about it in the Typewolf database.
• A free platform with premium functionality
• Intuitive UI
• Sometimes the tool fails to identify the fonts

This is an accurate font identifier tool that works like magic. Once you install it and drag the “Type Sample” button to your bookmark bar, all you need to do is hover over the text, and the identifier will show you the name of the font. If you click on the text, you’ll get a small window in the left corner of the page where you can try the typeface and save the sample. Besides, this font identifier is free!

This platform provides a vast type sample database, showcasing both free and commercial fonts and their usage in real-world designs. Each type sample is meticulously presented with detailed information about the font used, its characteristics, and the design context in which it is applied. 

• Answer the questions of the quiz given by the site to narrow the search.
• When you’re done with the questions, Identifont will suggest some fonts for you. If there’s no font consistent with your answers, you’ll have to do the quiz again.
• A free dose of nostalgia
• You are not likely to find the fonts you need and can easily miss some detail while choosing the glyph parameters
• The quiz can take a while

Disclaimer: this is not a font finder by image or a web-based font identifier. Identifont is a throwback to the times when tools didn’t use AI or image and code scanning. Instead of these modern perks, this free platform offers a questionnaire about the font you want to find. For example, if it is serif or not, what shapes for different letters you prefer, etc. Step by step, it narrows down the options from a database of around 11,000 typefaces. If you are lucky enough, it will provide you with a couple of font matches once you complete the quiz. Finding a specific font will be extremely hard. 

Our verdict: it’s a fun tool to play with, but it has no guarantee of success. It searches for fonts with lower accuracy than other platforms, if not with the lowest of all.

• Install the extension for your browser or the iOS app (only works on iPhone and iPad).
• When you found the type you want to identify, right-click on it, choose “Fontanello” and get all the characteristics of the font.

• Reveals information about the size, weight, and color of the font, and some other CSS properties which aren’t as commonly used
• Helps find fonts and the background color of the website as a bonus
• Has an iOS app
• The extension works only with Google Chrome and Firefox

Fontanello is another web-based identifier that’ll help you find fonts. Essentially, it is a browser extension and iOS app that lets you display the basic typographic styles of a text by right-clicking it. The info you’ll get from this font identifier is: type name, size, weight, and hex color code. It can assist website designers with picking the best font for their work, saving them valuable time. 

• Sign up for Quora. The app will ask you to choose your interests and the topics you’re good at.
• Ask your question. Add the image with the font you want to be identified and wait for the answers from other users. You can also try checking existing posts, but this can be tricky.
• Many qualified members of the community answer the questions quickly
• High chance of finding the exact match for the font you need
• The search is quite tricky to work with
• If you want to look up your question in the previous posts, you need to be very precise with the phrasing
• It fully relies on the knowledge of other people and their willingness to help

Quora is a Q&A-type site that lets people ask questions about different areas of life: economics, business, marketing, or even daily routines. And, of course, the design section on this platform is huge. The significant advantage of Quora is that the service uses an algorithm to rank each user’s answer based on the ratings of their previous queries. It increases the chances of getting the correct answer to your question. The site also uses a machine-learning algorithm to classify the topics based on the user’s history of questions and requests. 

One category is dedicated to typeface identification and design and has some very knowledgeable members who are always ready to help. Even user didn’t provide you with an exact match, you are likely to find a couple of similar fonts.

Comparing Font Identifiers

Font library

Price and functionality

1. Ease of use

The ease of use is crucial, so I checked all font identifiers for user-friendliness. Here, 10 stands for a transparent workflow. The more complicated or confusing the tools, the lower the grade. 

2. Quality of search

That’s, obviously, the most important criterion for the font finder, as we came there to get the results. Some sites gave me the exact font I was looking for, which got them a solid 10, others gave me similar options and there were font finders who weren’t even close. I also considered the time I spent searching and the easiness of the process.

3. Font library

The font library is a big part of the search success. The huger and more diverse it is, the higher are the chances to find the exact type you were looking for. It’s also cool when the font matches that the app gave me were really similar to the one I needed, as it may help designers pick an even better type for their projects.

4. Prices and functionality

In this collection of font finders there are options for any budget: free sites, premium sites and the possibility of buying a PRO membership after trying a free trial period. Here I rated the diversity of options so the user can find the perfect variant for their needs and the overall functionality for each plan.

How to Find a Webpage's Font Using the Inspect Element Tool and Browser Extensions

Here, we'll show how you can easily identify a font using your browser's Inspect Element tool, as well as extensions.

The success of your website greatly depends on its appearance. Having the right color combination and theme will keep your visitors on your site for a little longer. In addition to your site's color palette and structure, the font you choose also plays an essential role in keeping your audience engaged.

Perhaps you come across an appealing site while browsing the web, and you want to know what fonts it's using. With online extensions and your browser's built-in Inspect Element tool, identifying a font is quick and easy.

How to Find Fonts Using the Inspect Element Tool

In case you didn't know, your browser's built-in Inspect Element tool allows you to examine a website's source code. You can understand the design elements of a site by looking at its CSS, HTML, and other information. It's a great way to gain inspiration when designing your own site.

The process of identifying a font using the Inspect Element tool is quite simple, and you won't need any coding skills. This tool is available in all browsers on the market, and each has a similar layout.

Here's how to identify a font using your browser's Inspect tool.

• Open the website you want to use.
• Highlight the text that has the font you want to identify, and right-click it.
• When the Inspect menu opens, click on the Computed .

Other Ways to Use the Inspect Tool

If you want a quicker way to find a site's font using the Inspect tool, try this instead:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + C ( Cmd + Shift + C on Mac).

You can also check the list of fonts used on a webpage using the Inspect tool. Here's how to do this:

• Go to the webpage.
• Open the source code by pressing Ctrl + Shift + I ( Cmd + Shift + I on Mac).
• Click the Network  tab, and then select the  Font  tab.

To get the list of all fonts in real-time, you may have to refresh the webpage.

How to Identify Fonts Using Browser Extensions

If you want a more convenient way to identify a font, you might want to install a font-finding browser extension. While there are several browser extensions that can help detect fonts on the web, the two most popular ones are WhatFont and Font Finder .

Let's take a look at the process of identifying fonts using both extensions.

1. WhatFont

WhatFont is widely popular for quickly detecting multiple fonts at once. Here's how to use this tool.

Download: WhatFont for Chrome | Firefox | Safari (Free)

2. Font Finder

Font Finder also displays font details when you hover over any text on a website. However, it provides a lot of technical details, so it can get a little confusing if you aren't familiar with web design.

That said, Font Finder is more suitable for web developers who want to replace existing fonts with new ones in real-time. This makes it easy to test out fonts before making any permanent changes.

Here's how to test out a font using Font Finder:

• Highlight a portion of text from the webpage.

Download: FontFinder for Chrome | Edge | Firefox (Free)

What About Checking the Font in an Image?

If you want to identify the fonts in an image, browser extensions and your browser's Inspect tool may not help. However, you can try online image inspector tools like WhatFontIs , FontSquirrel , Fontspring , WhatTheFont , and many others.

The process for identifying a font from an image is largely the same in all tools. Let's try to identify the font in an image using WhatTheFont.

• If you haven't already, download the image you want to use.

4 Quick Ways to Identify Fonts Used on Websites

Why do you need to know what font is used on a website, how to identify a font on a website, browser extensions.

• Manual search in the page's code

Online services to identify fonts by image

Identifying fonts in adobe photoshop, bonus: there is a smartphone app, in place of a conclusion.

Enthusiastic designers are constantly on the lookout for new fonts. Not only while they are working.

You can notice new fonts to add to your collection while scrolling social media, browsing brands’ websites, and even playing your favorite video games. All that is left is a technical aspect: to identify a font family used in the project and purchase a license for it.

There are many ways of identifying fonts. In this article, we will cover the easiest ones.

For a novice designer, learning about fonts used in various projects is a valuable aid to grow professionally. It helps develop watchfulness. 

Look for projects similar to yours and analyze fonts other specialists use. This way, you will be able to identify what typeface categories align well with specific themes. Analyze the projects that you do not find good enough as well. It will help a lot to understand what typefaces do not seem suitable and why. To make the process even more fascinating, make your list of “good” and “bad” typefaces for various project themes.

Identifying fonts used in different projects proves to be practical for experienced designers, too. This way, designers add more typefaces to their collections and find new studios that make interesting and stylish fonts.

There are several ways to check what typeface a project’s website is using, such as:

• Installing a browser extension.
• Searching for the name in the page’s code.
• Identifying fonts by image using online services.
• Identifying fonts in Adobe Photoshop.

Let us focus on each of them.

Many browser extensions work as font identifiers for websites. We will share with you the ones that have been verified by us and are often used by designers.

Fonts Ninja

Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari.

Website: https://www.fonts.ninja/

One of the most popular extensions. It identifies both the typeface and its font style. An additional benefit is that you can not only check different font types but also buy them if you wish. Through Ninja, you can access the link to purchase the font—this is simple and convenient.

To start using the extension, download and install it. After that, an icon with a ninja will appear in your browser’s toolbar. Click on it, and hover over text sections to identify fonts. You can also click on the text to access an additional panel and try the font. You can also use Fonts Ninja on your smartphone via the app.

By the way, the official website of Fonts Ninja uses the TypeType studio’s bestseller— TT Norms® Pro .

WhatFont  

Browsers: Chrome, Safari.

Website: https://www.whatfontis.com/

Another well-known font identifier browser extension. 

After installing it, highlight a text fragment and click the “WhatFont” icon. You will get information about the font family used on the website, the font style, and the font size. 

In addition to the above-listed extensions, designers often use CSS Peeper, TypeSample, and more. Each has its own extra functions, so we recommend trying some of them and choosing the most convenient for you.

Manual search in the page’s code

A difficult and, at the same time, one of the easiest ways to identify fonts on websites is to find them in the page’s code. Remember that this method is not ideal because the fonts may be renamed.

To search manually, choose a text fragment, open the page’s code, and find “font-family”.

In Chrome and Firefox, right-click on the text and choose the menu item that opens the page’s code for viewing. After that, find the Elements tab, then Styles tab, and there you will find the “font-family” code. In Safari, the actions are the same, but you need to make sure that the Developer menu is visible. Check the box at the bottom of the Advanced tab to do that.

Sometimes the font you like is on an image, not a page. It can be a banner, a photo, or a picture on social media. 

For such cases, there are various online services that can help you identify the font you want. 

They all function similarly. Simply visit the service website, upload the image containing the necessary font, and wait for the result.

Here are some of the most frequently used font identifier services of this kind:

• myfonts.com
• identifont.com 
• whatfontis.com 

You can also use social media to ask other designers to help you identify a font.

You can find out what font is used on an image with the help of Adobe Photoshop. The Match Font function is constantly improving but does not support all languages at the moment.

To use the function:

• Select the text on the image using the Rectangular Marquee Tool.
• Choose Type and then Match Font.
• In the list of similar fonts, choose the one you think suits best.

Of course, captivating fonts await designers everywhere, not only at the work desk. To always have the possibility to add new fonts to your collection, install the app on your smartphone.

At the moment, WhatTheFont and Find My Font are the most popular. To identify a desired font, simply open the app and point the camera at the image. Choose the most suitable font from the list of the most similar ones.

Aesthetic fonts await designers outside their work as well. It is better to have some tools prepared to quickly find out what font is used on a website, poster, banner, or café sign.
