Find the font in a screenshot
Screenshots are the easiest case — clean, sharp, undistorted letters are exactly what the matcher wants.

Getting an accurate result
- 01
Screenshots give the most accurate results of any image type, because the letters are pixel-sharp and perfectly horizontal.
- 02
Crop to one line of text at one size and weight. Mixing a heading and body text in one crop confuses the letter matching.
- 03
Capture at the highest resolution you can — zoom the page in before screenshotting if the text is small.
- 04
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
Why are screenshots more accurate than photos?
A screenshot has no perspective distortion, no lighting variation and no camera blur. The letters sit on a flat background at a consistent size, which is exactly what letter-by-letter shape comparison needs.
Can I identify a font on a website without a screenshot?
If you can view the page source or use browser dev tools, that gives you the exact CSS font-family and is always more reliable than any visual identification. This tool is for when you cannot inspect the source.
Does it work on screenshots of PDFs or documents?
Yes. Screenshot the page, crop to a line of text, and it works the same way as any other image.
