How the font detector works

01

Add your source

Drop or paste a screenshot, logo, poster or photo. To check a live site, switch to the Website URL tab instead.

02

The AI reads the letterforms

The detector looks at stroke weight, proportions, serifs, terminals and spacing, the same details a typographer checks by eye.

03

Get results you can use

See the font name, a confidence score, license status, a free alternative and CSS you can copy straight into your project.

What is a font detector?

A font detector is a tool that tells you which typeface is used in an image, a web page or a document. Instead of scrolling through thousands of font previews, you give it the text and it does the matching for you.

Real Font Finder combines two methods. For images, an AI vision model compares your letterforms against a large font library. For websites, it reads the CSS directly, so the name you get is exactly what the site uses, not a guess.

Detect fonts from images, websites and PDFs

From an image

Best for logos, posters, packaging, signs and screenshots. Works with PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF, and you can paste straight from your clipboard.

From a website

Enter any page URL and get the font families, weights and web fonts declared in its CSS.

From a PDF

Upload a PDF and list every font embedded in it, including names and styles.

Who uses a font detector?

Designers recreating a brand file when nobody kept the font name.
Developers matching the typography of a reference website.
Marketers and students checking which font a competitor, poster or slide deck uses.
Anyone who saw a great font on a sign or in a photo and wants to know what it is.

Tips for a more accurate result

Crop tightly around the text. Remove the background where you can.
Use a sharp, high-contrast image. Blurry or tiny text lowers accuracy.
Keep the text horizontal. Straighten photos taken at an angle.
Include 4 to 6 clear lowercase letters such as a, e and g.
If confidence is below 80%, try a second crop or check the free alternatives shown.

Font detector FAQ

Is this font detector really free?

Yes. It is free with no daily limit, no account and no watermark.

Are my images stored?

No. Images are sent for detection and immediately discarded. They are not stored or used for training.

How accurate is the detection?

Every result shows a confidence score. Clean, tightly cropped text gives the best results. If the score is low, you still get the closest matches and free alternatives.

Can it detect the font used on a website?

Yes. Use the Website URL tab. The tool reads the page's CSS and returns the actual fonts it declares.

What if the detected font is paid?

Commercial fonts are paired with a free look-alike, often from Google Fonts, plus ready-to-use CSS.

What is the difference between a font detector and a font finder?

Nothing important. Both names describe a tool that identifies fonts. Real Font Finder covers images, websites and PDFs in one place.
