About Preview a Font File
A downloaded font file — from a purchase, a free font site, or a client's brand assets — usually needs to be installed system-wide just to see what it actually looks like, a slower round-trip than necessary for a quick check of whether it's the right file.
This tool loads a .ttf, .otf, .woff, or .woff2 font file directly in your browser using the same font-loading technology websites use, and renders your own text in it — with adjustable size — so you can preview it immediately without installing anything.
Because the font file is loaded using the browser's native font-loading API, the preview reflects exactly how that font will render on the web — useful for confirming a web font file actually contains what you expect before deploying it to a live site.
How it works
- Upload a font file. Choose a .ttf, .otf, .woff, or .woff2 file.
- Type your preview text. See your own text rendered in the actual font.
- Adjust the size. Check how the font looks at different sizes.
