Utilities

Typography tools.

Identify fonts from images, create professional font combinations, and convert font files for desktop and web use.

Choose the right utility

Three tools, three different typography problems.

Use the font finder when the typeface name is unknown, the pairing generator when you need a visual hierarchy, and the converter when the font is already chosen but the project needs another file format. Keeping those jobs separate makes the workflow faster and avoids unnecessary file changes.

Typography workflow

What each NexFonts tool is designed to solve.

Font discovery, font pairing and font conversion are related tasks, but they solve different problems. The explanations below show when to use each tool, what information to prepare first and how to verify the result before a logo, website, presentation, print layout or social design is published.

Image Font Finder

Font finder from image, logo or screenshot

Use the Image Font Finder when you can see a typeface but do not know its name. A clean screenshot, logo crop, poster headline, packaging label or social graphic can provide enough visual information to narrow a search. The strongest input is a horizontal line of clearly separated letters with good contrast and as little background texture as possible. Cropping to the exact word you want to identify reduces noise and makes comparison easier.

A font detector should be treated as a shortlist generator rather than an automatic licensing decision. Compare distinctive details such as the shape of the lowercase a, the leg of R, numeral widths, terminals, stroke contrast and letter spacing. A logo may also use custom lettering or a modified commercial font, so the closest match can be more useful than an exact family name. NexFonts results are designed to help you continue that verification with a font page, licence information and a source search.

Searches such as “what font is this”, “identify font from logo”, “font detector from screenshot” and “find a similar font” usually describe the same practical need: moving from an unknown image to a typeface you can evaluate and legally use. When the exact face is unavailable, use the visual match as a reference and look for a properly licensed alternative with similar proportions, weight and mood instead of downloading an unverified copy.

Font Pairing Generator

Heading and body font combinations

The Font Pairing Generator is for projects where choosing one typeface is not enough. It suggests heading and body combinations that can create hierarchy for websites, brand identities, editorial pages, presentations, invitations, posters and packaging. A useful font pairing is not simply two attractive families. Each font needs a defined job, enough contrast to be distinguishable and enough shared character that the page still feels intentional.

Start with the most demanding reading context. Body text needs comfortable rhythm at paragraph size, while display text can carry more personality. For a website font combination, also check available weights, italics, numerals, language coverage and web files before committing to a pair. For branding, test the company name, short headlines and practical supporting copy. For editorial work, test long paragraphs, captions and hierarchy across several page sizes.

Popular searches such as “best font combinations”, “Google font pairings”, “logo font pairing” and “heading and body fonts” are best answered through testing rather than a fixed list. Use the generator to create a considered starting point, then replace the sample text with your real content. If the two typefaces compete for attention, simplify the pair; if they look almost identical, increase contrast through family, weight, width or role.

Font Converter

TTF, OTF, WOFF and WOFF2 conversion

Use the Font Converter after you already have a legitimate font file and need another format for a specific workflow. TTF and OTF are common desktop formats; WOFF and WOFF2 are designed for web delivery. Converting TTF to WOFF2 or OTF to WOFF2 can be useful when self-hosting a licensed web font, while converting between desktop formats can help with software compatibility. Conversion does not improve the design of a typeface and does not create new usage rights.

NexFonts performs supported conversion locally in the browser so the source font does not need to be uploaded to a remote conversion service. Keep the original file, convert only the weights and styles required by the project, and test the output before deployment. Check accented characters, punctuation, numerals, OpenType behaviour and the exact text used by the website or application. For web use, WOFF2 is usually the practical first choice because it is compressed for delivery.

Terms such as “font converter”, “TTF to WOFF2”, “OTF to WOFF2”, “WOFF2 to TTF” and “web font converter” describe file-format changes, not licensing changes. Some licences restrict web embedding, application embedding, modification or redistribution even when the file itself converts successfully. Review the original EULA or open-source licence before placing converted files on a public server or sending them to a client.

Typography tools FAQ

Questions about the tools

Which NexFonts tool should I use if I only have an image of a font?

Use the Image Font Finder. Upload a logo, screenshot, poster or other image, crop closely around one clear word or line, then compare the closest font matches and verify the official source and licence.

Which tool helps me choose a heading and body font?

Use the Font Pairing Generator. Select a project type and visual mood, then test suggested heading and body combinations with your real copy before opening or downloading either font.

Can I convert TTF or OTF fonts to WOFF2 for a website?

Yes. The Font Converter accepts TTF, OTF, WOFF and WOFF2 source files and can create web-ready WOFF or WOFF2 output when the file is supported. The conversion runs locally in the browser.

Are the typography tools free to use?

The current NexFonts tool pages are available without a paid checkout. Font licences are separate from tool access, so always review the licence attached to a font before using it in a project.

Does using a NexFonts tool change a font licence?

No. Identification, pairing or format conversion does not grant new rights. The original font licence still determines whether the font can be used commercially, embedded, modified or redistributed.
