The Frustration of Font Identification

Ever stared at an image, mesmerized by the gorgeous font used in it? For designers, marketers, and creatives, this scenario is all too common. The hunt that follows—scouring forums, manually comparing glyphs, and scrolling through endless font libraries—can waste precious hours. It’s a creative bottleneck that kills momentum and holds up workflows.

FontSniff was designed to eliminate that frustration.

The FontSniff Process: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Upload Your Image

Whether it’s a website screenshot, a photo of a poster, or a design mockup, simply drag and drop your JPG, PNG, or PDF file into our tool. You can also upload directly from your device.

Step 2: AI-Powered Analysis

Once uploaded, our powerful AI gets to work instantly. It scans the image, isolates text elements, and analyzes the unique characteristics of each glyph—the curves, serifs, heights, and spacing.

Step 3: Font Matching

FontSniff cross-references the analyzed data with our massive database of fonts, which includes:

• •Open-source fonts (like Google Fonts)
• •Commercial fonts from top foundries
• •Unique designer fonts
• •Fonts from a diverse range of cultures and languages

Step 4: Instant Results

Within seconds, you’ll receive a detailed report that includes:

• •The most likely font match with a high degree of accuracy.
• •Detailed information, including the font’s style, weight, and licensing.
• •Alternative font suggestions to spark new ideas.

Step 5: Text Extraction & Translation

FontSniff is about more than just fonts. Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology automatically extracts all the text from your image, making it available for you to copy, paste, or translate. Need to know what a foreign-language poster says? Our integrated translation tool can do it for you instantly.

More Than Just Identification

FontSniff is designed to be a complete creative workflow tool. By combining font identification with multilingual OCR and translation, we help you bridge the gap between visual cultures.
