Font finder by image update#
WhatFontIs has a lot of free & commercial fonts in their database, but it's not their primary concern to add & update free fonts, as their main income comes from affiliation sales of commercial fonts from (the owner of WhatTheFont service), and other commercial font resellers. In fact I think they wish that Google Fonts never existed. There is no reason ever to add Google Web Fonts on their database. WhatTheFont identifies only the fonts they sell (and most of the time they can't even accurately identify their own fonts). Nothing is actually free on free services, everything has it's price when it comes to performance or final results.
The reason I decided to post a message here, is that Find my Font has many advantages over the traditional WhatTheFont and WhatFontIs services, especially considering Google Web Fonts matching. It takes as input a Text image and identifies the font of any letters you select, by examining both your local fonts (installed or stored in a folder) and also querying the Find my Font online font database (currently about 125.000 fonts).
Font finder by image software#
It's not an online service but a software application that runs on your Mac or Windows PC: The first thing to say, is that I want to be honest and I'm affiliate to the software I present bellow (I'm the software designer/programmer of this font identification engine) and I'm really proud about it :)
