What font is
Identify and edit fonts from images, saving edited fonts for later use.
What is What font is?
What Font Is helps you identify typefaces from images by uploading screenshots or photos. The tool analyses the text and suggests matching fonts from its database. Once you've found a font you like, you can edit it directly within the platform and save your customised versions for future projects. This is particularly useful when you spot typography in the wild, on websites, or in designs, and want to know exactly what font was used or create variations of it. The combination of identification and editing tools makes it practical for designers, marketers, and content creators who work with typography regularly but don't always have access to the original design files.
