Identify a font

Free tool

Handwriting font finder

Wedding invitations, café menus and greeting cards are full of handwritten type. Upload a sample and this tool matches the whole word against the script and handwriting fonts in our free library.

Connected lettering is handled differently to print: instead of splitting letters, the engine compares the entire word render at several scales.

Drag & drop an image, or browse

PNG, JPG or WebP with crisp lettering works best. We never upload your image.

Tip: you can also paste from your clipboard (Ctrl/Cmd + V)

How it works

What to do

01

Upload the sample

A clear, well-lit photo or scan of the handwriting, with the words filling the frame.

02

Crop the phrase

Select the words you want to match — a short phrase is ideal for script.

03

Match the style

The engine renders the phrase in candidate script fonts and ranks how close each one is.

Getting the best result

Tips for accuracy

  • Front-facing, flat samples beat angled phone shots — perspective distorts the stroke flow.
  • The bigger the crop, the more confident the whole-word match.
  • Brush lettering and calligraphy fonts are matched the same way; just keep the crop tight.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you really identify handwriting?
Connected script and handwriting are matched with a whole-word rendering comparison rather than per-letter shapes. Distinctive styles like cursive invitations and brush lettering can often be matched to a handwriting font from the library.
The handwriting is mine, not a font — what now?
If the engine can't match it to a library face, it probably isn't a font. You can turn it into one later; for now the closest handwritten fonts give you the same feel.
Why does the letter-review step say 'whole word'?
Joined script has no clean letter boundaries, so we compare the entire word render instead. Just type the word you see and let the engine do the rest.
