AI font identifier

Identify any font from a photo

Snap a photo or pick a screenshot, and Font Snap identifies the typefaces in it — with each font’s designer, foundry, release year, license and where to get it, plus close alternates when fonts look alike.

  • Works from photos and screenshots
  • Designer, foundry and license
  • Close alternates when fonts look alike

Results are AI best guesses. Always confirm a font’s license with its publisher before commercial use.

What you get

More than a font name

Font Snap tells you what the typeface is, who made it, whether you can use it, and what to try if it isn’t an exact match.

01

Identify fonts from any image

Photograph a poster, sign, menu or book cover, or pick a screenshot. Font Snap reads the letterforms and ranks the most likely typefaces.

Each match is labelled as a strong match, a likely match, or a look-alike group, so you know how sure the result is.

02

The details behind each font

See each typeface’s category, designer, foundry, release year and license, with links to where you can get it.

The license field is a starting point — confirm the terms with the foundry before commercial use.

03

Close alternates

When several families look alike in your photo, Font Snap shows the close relatives too, most likely first.

Useful for finding an affordable or open-source look-alike when the original is out of reach.

How it works

From a photo to a font report in three steps

No uploading to a website, no guessing at search terms. Point your camera at the lettering and read the report.

Snap the lettering

Point your camera at the text, straight-on and in even light — or pick a photo or screenshot from your gallery.

AI reads the letterforms

Font Snap measures the strokes, compares the shapes against typefaces it knows, and narrows it down to the likeliest matches.

Font Snap

Never wonder “what font is that?” again

Snap the lettering, get the typeface, its foundry and its license — and keep every report in your history.

Font Snap gives AI best-guess results. It does not grant a license to any font it identifies.
