Find a font from an image
Choose an image, or drop it here.
JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF
Your image stays on your device. Always.
Drag across a single line of text. Touch and keyboard users can also edit the crop coordinates.
Show us the words.
Basic Latin letters (A–Z), numbers and punctuation, one line. Match capitalization. No OCR or recognition service is used.
Lower it if thin strokes break apart; raise it if letters run together.
Glyph boxes are segmentation, not OCR. Type or correct the characters. The index covers 1,382 families, including 659 bold and 304 italic styles. First comparison downloads the index (about 8 MB), plus the bold or italic index when your crop looks bold or italic, and up to 30 shortlisted fonts. All assets are self-hosted.

About Font Finder
Start with sharp, horizontal text on a plain background. Crop tightly around one line and type the exact characters, matching capitalization. The preparation step distinguishes light and dark text and attempts column-based glyph segmentation. Correct the displayed character labels before comparing.
The original matching index is generated from individually licensed open-source font families. It loads only when you compare, then a worker shortlists candidates before downloading a small number of real fonts for whole-word rendering. Similarity measurements are comparison aids, not probabilities. Handwriting, joined scripts, distorted logos and tiny samples can fail segmentation or have no exact match in the collection.
Font Finder: frequently asked questions
How do I identify a font from an image?
Choose or paste the image, crop one line of text, type the words exactly as they appear and select Compare fonts. You get ranked suggestions with live previews.
Which fonts does it compare against?
1,382 free font families from Google Fonts, all under open licences. Each suggestion links to its source page.
Can it find commercial fonts?
Not exactly. If the original is a commercial font that is not in the library, you get the nearest free alternatives instead.
How do I get better results?
Use a sharp, straight-on photo, crop a single line tightly and match capital letters when typing. Adjust the ink sensitivity if letters break apart or run together.
Can I identify a font in a PDF?
If the PDF contains real text, your PDF reader can often list its fonts in the document properties. For scans, save the page with PDF to JPG and use that image here.
