Private visual font search

What Font Is This? Image Font Identifier

Upload a word image, isolate the lettering, and compare its shape against the complete local Google Fonts index and the verified public FreeFontsVault catalog. The image, filename, crop pixels, and typed text stay in your browser.

  • Your file stays on this device
  • No account required
  • No font or image upload
Required for matching. Detection runs in your browser and lazily loads a self-hosted English OCR model on first use; there is no paid OCR API and no image upload. Always correct the letters and capitalization before searching.

Preparing both versioned font indexes…

Private image matchingThis matcher uploads no image, filename, crop, or typed text. Your working image exists only in this tab and is cleared by reload, navigation, or closing the tab. If Google Fonts is included, only shortlisted font files are requested using a fixed public alphabet; Google never receives your uploaded content. Normal site analytics may still record page interaction under the site privacy policy, without the image or entered text.

Two-stage visual comparison

Closest family and style matches

Your cleaned crop will appear here.

The first stage searches compact glyph signatures across both complete local indexes. The second stage privately renders only the strongest Google and verified FreeFontsVault finalists, then reranks their shapes.

Why matches are approximate

Logos and posters often stretch, redraw, outline, or customize letters. The score measures relative shape overlap after width, tracking, and small rotation adjustments; it is not a probability or proof of the original font.

Best image tips

Crop one horizontal word, enter the exact capitalization, avoid overlapping graphics, and choose a clean high-contrast image. Use category, weight, or italic filters only when you are confident about them.

Questions and limits

Frequently asked questions

Does the font identifier upload my image or text?

No. Cropping, thresholding, full-catalog signature search, and comparison happen in your browser. Google finalist requests use a fixed public alphabet rather than your entered text.

Where is my image saved, and when is it cleared?

It is not saved to FreeFontsVault. The working image stays in this tab memory and disappears when you reload, navigate away, or close the tab. The tool creates no server copy.

Does local text detection leave a saved file?

It never saves your image or recognized text. The browser may keep ordinary cached copies of the self-hosted OCR code and English model to avoid network waste; browser cache controls when those public tool files are cleared.

Does it search Google Fonts?

Yes. The versioned local index covers Latin-capable families from a pinned revision of the official Google Fonts repository, including their source and license links. Only shortlisted finalists are requested for detailed rendering.

Does it search FreeFontsVault fonts too?

Yes. Verified public FreeFontsVault variants have their own local shape index and receive a guaranteed finalist lane when both sources are selected.

Can it identify an exact logo font?

It finds visually close approved matches, not guaranteed originals. Logo lettering is often modified, stretched, redrawn, or custom-made.

How can I improve a weak match?

Crop one clean word, enter exact capitalization, set the correct polarity, and try a deep search. Category, weight, and italic filters can help when those traits are obvious.
