Getting started
- Upload an image that contains text.
- Look at the list of matching fonts and their text previews; change the preview by entering your own text and font size.
- Check the license and price of the font you found on its MyFonts page.
Decision points
- Consider it when you want to identify a font from an image; you need another tool to choose or pair fonts.
- Results appear to lead to fonts in the MyFonts marketplace; search separately if you need a free alternative.
Limits
- The page does not say whether it is free or whether an account is required; check the details on the site.
- Identifying a font does not give you the right to use it; check the font's license before using it.
