How to Identify a Font from an Image
Spotted a perfect font in a screenshot, photo, or design but don't know its name? This guide walks you through the best methods to identify any font from an image - free, fast, and accurate.
WhatTheFont by MyFonts
Upload your image to WhatTheFont (myfonts.com/pages/whatthefont) and it uses AI to match the font. One of the most accurate tools available, works best with clean, large text on a plain background.

Take a screenshot, open Google Lens on your phone or at lens.google.com, and search the text area. Google often identifies the font family or suggests visually similar fonts.

Upload your image to matcherator.fontsquirrel.com. It analyzes letterforms and suggests matching fonts from its catalog, with a focus on free and open-source fonts.

If the font comes from a live website rather than a static image, paste the URL into What the Font! above. It crawls the site and extracts every font with exact family name, weights, and license - no guesswork needed.
Tips for Better Results
- Use high-resolution images with at least 100px font height
- Crop tightly around the text you want to identify
- Plain backgrounds and high contrast improve recognition accuracy
- Identify multiple characters for better matching (not just one letter)
- For script or decorative fonts, try multiple tools - accuracy varies
Analyzing a Website Instead?
If you're trying to identify fonts on a website rather than in a static image, use our URL-based font checker. Paste any URL and we'll extract every font the site uses.
