What is the font?

Upload, paste or drop a picture of any lettering. We’ll name the typeface and show you the closest matches, free.

Drop an image here, or browse

You can also paste a screenshot Ctrl+V · JPG, PNG, WebP

Your image is analyzed in memory and deleted immediately. Nothing is saved.

Tips for the best results
  • Use a sharp, straight-on image where the letters are at least 40 pixels tall.
  • Crop to a single line in one font. Mixed fonts confuse the match.
  • Words with distinctive letters (a, g, R, Q, y, &) work better than all numbers.
  • Logos are often custom lettering, so you’ll get the closest fonts rather than an exact match.

Nº 01 — How it works

Three steps. No guesswork.

  1. Add your image

    Upload a photo or screenshot, drag it in, or paste it with Ctrl+V. Logos, posters, menus and social posts all work.

  2. Box the text

    Drag a box around one line of lettering. A tight crop on a single font gives the sharpest match.

  3. Get your matches

    See the closest fonts ranked by match, preview them with your own words, and jump straight to where to get each one.

Nº 02 — Questions

Questions, answered.

Identify a font
Q.01 How do I find out what font is in an image?

Upload, drop or paste the image into Whatsdafont, drag a box around the text, and press "Identify font". You get a ranked list of the closest fonts, each with a live preview and a link to get it.

Q.02 Is it free?

Yes. You can identify fonts for free, with no account and no sign-up.

Q.03 Do you keep my images?

No. Your image is analyzed once to read the letter shapes and is then discarded. We don’t save images, and we don’t host or store any font files.

Q.04 Why didn’t I get an exact match?

Many logos use custom or modified lettering that isn’t a font you can download. Blurry, tiny or slanted text also makes matching harder. Try a sharper image and crop to a single line.

Q.05 Can I download the fonts here?

We only identify fonts. Free fonts link to Google Fonts, and commercial fonts link to a search so you can buy or license them from the designer.

Q.06 What kind of images work?

JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF. Screenshots and straight-on photos with clear, dark-on-light or light-on-dark text work best.
