Font from image: turn a photo or logo into a font

Make a font from an image of lettering you like, such as your logo, a shop sign or a vintage poster. You get a complete font in that style, including the letters the image does not show, as TTF, OTF and WOFF2 files.

Upload lettering to copy: a logo, sign, poster or book cover
Languages in your font

Every font includes A–Z, a–z, 0–9 and punctuation, which covers English. Add a language to get its accented letters, like é, ñ or ß.

A–Z a–z 0–9 ?!&

Free account includes 150 credits: enough to make and preview your first font. Credits come back if a font fails.

How to make a font from an image

Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP under "From an image". The maker reads the lettering style, meaning stroke weight, contrast, serifs, slant, width and corners, and draws A–Z, a–z, numbers and punctuation to match. Pick the languages you need and press Make; the whole font is ready in 1–3 minutes. You can add a short note such as "a bit bolder" or "less condensed" to steer the result. Preview every letter free before you download.

Turn a logo into a full font

Most logos only use a handful of letters, which makes it hard to write a menu, a price tag or a social post in the same lettering. A font from image extends the wordmark into a full alphabet with numbers and punctuation, so your packaging, signage, website and slides all match. Because the letters are drawn new, they fit together as one family instead of looking pasted in.

Which images make the best font

Large, sharp letters on a plain background, with at least five or six different letters visible. A flat logo file, a clean sign photographed straight on, a book cover or a poster all work well. Avoid photos taken at a steep angle, heavy textures, letters overlapping pictures, or tiny text. If you only have a few letters, the maker still draws the rest, but more letters give it more to copy.

Font from image vs. font finder

A font finder tries to name an existing typeface in a picture, which only works when the font is published and you can buy it. A font from image makes a new font with the same look, so it works for hand-lettered signs, custom logos and old posters that no font finder can identify. The result is an original font drawn in that style, not a copy of the original file.

Photo to font: what you get

Every font includes 133 English characters, spaced and kerned automatically, and any of 27 languages with their accented letters, from Spanish and German to Polish, Cyrillic and Greek. You download TTF and OTF for Windows and Mac, WOFF2 and WOFF for websites, a ready-made CSS file and install steps. The outlines are clean vectors, sharp at any size and ready for cutting machines.

Ideas for a font from image

Rebuild the lettering of a family shop sign, turn a band or club logo into a poster font, extend a café chalkboard style to a full menu, recreate the letters on a vintage travel poster, or make a font from a child's drawing of letters. Designers also use it to explore a direction quickly before hand-drawing a final logo.

Cost and rights

A font from image costs 100 credits in English, plus a few per language, and your free account includes 150 credits to make and preview one. Downloads start at $9.99 with a pack, or $9 a month with a plan. Fonts downloaded on Pro, Studio or with a pack may be used commercially. Only upload lettering you own or have the right to use, such as your own logo.

Can I make a font from an image for free?

You can make and preview it free with the 150 credits you get on sign-up. Downloading needs a plan or a credit pack, from $9.99.

Can I turn my logo into a font?

Yes. Upload the logo and the maker draws every letter, number, punctuation mark and accent in its style.

Is the font an exact copy of the original typeface?

No. It is a new font drawn in the same style, so details differ from the original.

Which file types can I upload?

PNG, JPG or WebP. A sharp image with large letters on a plain background works best.

How many letters does the image need?

Five or six different letters is a good minimum; the maker draws the rest in the same style.

Can I add instructions?

Yes. Use the "Anything to change?" field, for example "make it bolder" or "less condensed".

Can I use a font from image commercially?

Yes, when you download it on Pro or Studio or after buying a credit pack, as long as you have the right to use the lettering you uploaded.
