Sometimes obtaining a distinct font for your website becomes a challenging task because the fonts installed in our system don’t look that good, and heading over to free web fonts takes a lot of time without any guarantee. In such a situation, what to do?

If you are a graphic designer, then you might have faced similar issues many times. Sometimes while browsing through someone’s website, you might have gone through an image and wished to know the font used on it. Isn’t it?

Various font finders are used to determine your confusion by letting you find the appropriate font. In this guide, I will share those font finders and how you can easily use them to find the desired font.

How Font Finder Works?

A professional graphic designer should prop themselves with all the ways used for this purpose. They should be knowledgeable of those font finders that will serve them in need. Various tools help them detect a font from an image which they later check in their database. However, this approach of attaining fonts is limited due to different factors, including:

  • Either the image is easily understandable or readable, or you find a tough time reading it.
  • Either the uploaded text is horizontal.
  • The tool’s font size matters a lot.

Even if you are a professional, you always flip your head in finding fonts from the image. If you are unable to locate what’s written on the image or the size is not perfect, the tools even won’t be able to distinguish the font.
