How to Find What Font a Website Is Using
Ever seen a beautiful font on a website and wanted to know what it is? There are several reliable methods to identify fonts on any webpage. Here are the five best approaches.
Use the Font Finder Chrome Extension
The easiest way to identify fonts is with a browser extension like Font Finder. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, click the extension icon, then hover over any text on a webpage. You'll instantly see the font family, size, weight, color, and line height.
Use Browser Developer Tools
Right-click on any text element and select 'Inspect' (or press F12). In the Styles panel, look for the font-family property. The Computed tab shows you the exact rendered font, which is helpful when fallback fonts are in use.
Check the Page Source Code
View the page source (Ctrl+U) and search for @font-face declarations or Google Fonts links in the <head> section. This reveals all fonts loaded on the page, even if they're not visible on the current view.
Use an Online Font Identifier Tool
Tools like WhatFontIs or Font Squirrel Matcherator let you upload a screenshot of text to identify the font. This works for fonts in images, logos, and even PDFs where you can't inspect the code.
Check for Google Fonts
Many websites use Google Fonts. Look for 'fonts.googleapis.com' in the network requests (DevTools → Network tab → filter by 'font'). The URL parameters reveal the exact font family and weights being loaded.
