Find the font in a screenshot
Screenshots are the easiest case — clean, sharp, undistorted letters are exactly what the matcher wants.
Paste directly with ⌘V or Ctrl+V after taking a screenshot. Crop to a single line of text for best results.

Typographic Matches
Getting an accurate result
Screenshots are Pixel-Sharp
Screenshots give the most accurate results of any image type, because the letters are pixel-sharp and perfectly horizontal.
Crop to One Line of Text
Crop to one line of text at one size and weight. Mixing a heading and body text in one crop confuses the letter matching.
High Resolution Captures
Capture at the highest resolution you can — zoom the page in before screenshotting if the text is small.
Avoid Complex Backgrounds
Avoid text over photographs or gradients where possible; a plain background separates the letters cleanly.
Screenshots are the best-case input
If you have a choice about what to upload, choose a screenshot. Every problem that makes font identification hard — blur, angle, uneven lighting, compression artefacts — is absent from a screenshot.
That matters because the matching works by comparing the actual shape of each letter against a fingerprint of every font in the library. Sharp edges mean the shapes are measured precisely.
Capturing a good screenshot
Zoom in before you capture. A line of text at 12px gives the matcher very little to measure; the same text at 200% zoom gives it four times the detail. Then crop to just the words, excluding any interface chrome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Screenshots contain pixel-sharp, mathematically straight representation of characters without camera lens distortions, reflections, uneven lighting, or physical noise. This makes boundary segmentation and metric evaluation extremely clean.
On Windows, press Win + Shift + S to crop the region, or Cmd + Shift + 4 on Mac. Ensure you zoom into the text (e.g. 200% magnification) before capturing so that the letters contain plenty of visual pixel width.
Yes, you can snap a screenshot of Figma frames, Adobe XD structures, or wireframe images and upload them. As long as the characters are readable and horizontal, the tool will query catalog equivalents.
We recommend text lines having a vertical height of at least 40 to 80 pixels. High-density retina screens naturally provide excellent matching accuracy.
Yes! Take your screenshot using your operating system shortcut (which copies it to your clipboard), click anywhere on this tool page, and press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac) to upload it instantly.
If the screenshot has a multi-colored background or noise, the canvas parser may generate slightly skewed boundaries. Crop tightly around the cleanest characters, or use image editors to turn the background white for optimal matching.
