How your files are handled

12 of the 17 tools do all their work in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, and they keep working if you drop your connection after the page loads.

The remaining 5 need a server, because rewriting a PDF or rebuilding a font binary is not something a browser can do on its own. Those are the Font Subsetter, Font Analyzer, Font License Checker, Dyslexia Font Converter, and File Font Converter. They process your file in memory and hand back the result. The file is not written to disk and no copy is kept.

Font tools FAQ

What font tools do I need to use a custom font on a website?

Three, in this order. Run the file through the Font Subsetter first, because unused glyphs are where most of the weight sits. Then use the CSS @font-face Generator to write the rule that serves it, with the right format hints and fallbacks. If your pages cover more than one script, the Unicode Range Generator splits the font so a browser downloads only the ranges a given visitor actually renders. The Font Analyzer is worth a look before any of that, to confirm the file really carries the weights and characters you are expecting.

Are these font tools free?

Yes. All 17 are free to use with no account, no email address, no trial period, and no cap on how many times you run them. The site is funded by advertising, not by charging for the tools.

Do my font files get uploaded anywhere?

Most of them never leave your computer. 12 of the 17 tools run entirely in your browser. The other 5, the File Font Converter, the Dyslexia-Friendly Document Converter, the Font Subsetter, the Font Analyzer, and the Font License Checker, need a server to do the work, so they send your file to our API. Those files are processed in memory and the result is returned to you, without being written to disk or kept afterwards.

What is the difference between these font tools and the font converter?

The converter on the home page changes a font file from one format into another, such as TTF to WOFF2. The tools on this page do everything else: shrinking font files, generating CSS, reading metadata, checking licenses, converting documents, and restyling text. If a different file format is all you need, start with the converter instead.
