WhatTheFont
WhatTheFont identifies fonts from photos, screenshots, or image URLs using deep learning against MyFonts' catalog of more than 233,000 font styles. Upload a PNG or JPG, paste a direct image link, or drag a file onto the page, then click the text line you want matched. The tool returns ranked font names with previews and links to buy the family on MyFonts.
Generic reverse-image searches cannot name a typeface, and guessing from memory fails on lookalike grotesks. WhatTheFont is tuned for typography: it handles connected scripts, multiple fonts in one image, and horizontal Latin text with automatic detection plus optional manual crops around a single line. Results tie back to MyFonts' marketplace of 300,000+ fonts and foundries, so you move from identification to licensing in one place.
Upload limits are 5MB max, 50x50 pixel minimum, and Latin scripts only (Japanese and other CJK languages are not supported). For field work, the WhatTheFont mobile app on iOS and Android identifies fonts from your camera, supports multiple fonts per shot, and lets you test matches with your own sample text. Font identification is free; purchasing fonts uses separate MyFonts desktop, webfont, or app licenses.
