FAQ

What image works best?

Crop close to the text, keep it straight, avoid blur and heavy compression, and use good contrast (dark text on light background).

Can I identify a font from a website?

Yes. You can upload a screenshot of the text or paste the image URL if the font appears in an image.

What if there is no exact match?

You’ll still get close alternatives (60+), which is often enough to choose an almost identical font or a free alternative.
