Match the font in an image
If you’re hunting for the font to change a few words in this picture, you can skip the hunt. Type the new words; they’re drawn in the font that’s already there.

Font matchers like WhatTheFont, Font Squirrel’s Matcherator and Photoshop’s Match Font compare the letters in your image with a font library and suggest a name. That’s what you want if you’re setting new type in a design tool. If the goal is to change the words in this one image, you don’t need the name. Make It Say redraws the line in the style of the letters already in the picture and keeps the rest of the image as it was.
How it works
- 1
Upload the image
PNG, JPEG or WebP. The text in it is found and boxed in a few seconds. No account needed for this step.
- 2
Type what each line should say
Click a box, type the new text, or translate every line into another language in one click. Fix a misread line or draw a box the scan missed. Change up to 20 lines at once.
- 3
Download the result
In 20 to 40 seconds you get a PNG with the new text in the original font, color and angle. One credit per image; your first is free.
When a font matcher is the right tool
- You’re designing something new and want the same typeface.
- You need the font file for print or a website.
- The text is clean, flat and straight, which is what these tools are built for.
When it doesn’t help
Font matchers want clean letters. Photos give them blurred, tilted, faded or hand-painted ones. Custom lettering, neon, chalk and worn signs aren’t in any font library, so the best match is close but wrong.
And a name is only the start. You still have to match the size, spacing, color, blur and angle by hand, and remove the old words without a trace.
Changing the words without the font name
Upload the image, type the new words for the line, download. The model draws them in the existing style, and you get two versions; the one whose letter height and stroke width are closer to the original is shown first.
It isn’t perfect. On a worn typewriter stencil the model once drew a cleaner typewriter face than the original. That’s why there are two versions to choose from.
What it will not edit
ID cards, passports, driving licences, certificates, transcripts, receipts, invoices and bank documents. The scan recognises these and the edit is refused before anything is charged. Editing them is forgery in most places, and we do not want that traffic.
Everything else that is yours to change is fine: your screenshots, your designs, your photos, images you have the rights to.
Questions
What font is this?
For a name, try WhatTheFont or Font Squirrel’s Matcherator with a sharp, straight crop of the text. If you only want to change the words in the image, you don’t need the name: upload it here and type the new text.
Can it match a handwritten or custom font?
Yes. The style is copied from the pixels, so lettering that no font library has works the same way.
Can it tell me the name of the font?
No. It never identifies the font. It redraws the words in the style it sees.
Do I need to know the font?
No. The font, weight, color, outline and slant are copied from the pixels around the line. You only type the new words.
Does it keep the resolution?
Yes. The result is a PNG the same size as the image you uploaded, and apart from the lines you changed, the pixels are the ones you uploaded. Nothing is downscaled to fit a watermark or a free tier.
Is there a watermark?
No, on free and paid edits alike.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on iPhone and Android. Upload from your camera roll, tap a line, type, download.
What does it cost?
One credit per image, however many lines you change. New accounts get 1 free credit. Then 2 edits for $1, 40 for $10, or 120 a month for $20. Failed edits are not charged. Pricing.
What happens to my image?
It is sent to the model once, stored for up to a day so the edit can finish, then deleted. Results are kept for 30 days so you can download them again. See the privacy policy.
