How to Identify a Font Name from Image?



Knowing the name of a font


Sometimes you may like a font which appears on a website or somewhere else as an image. And it would be very difficult for you to detect that font. And if that font is not installed on your system, then it will be more difficult. So, in this post I'm gonna share a website that identifies font name - whatfontis.com



Background Story

You know the title font of markspcsolution.com is Monotype Corsiva. When I visit this site using my Android Phone, I see a different title font. Look at the image below -

The title font in the above image is not one that I used as a title font for my site. But it looks cool! That's why I tried to know the name of this font.

I tried most of the fonts using MS Word to match it. But this font was not installed on my system. 

Later I took help from What Font is.



About What Font is

There are thousands of sites across the web which may help you identify the name of a font. But not all of them are good enough. Not all of them are reliable. I'm recommending What Font is because I got the result quickly using this site. And it's easy to use.

They have more than 300,000 fonts in their database!!
