Turn an image into a font
Generate an alphabet image with AI, drop it into the font maker, and Fonthead traces it into a real, installable font right in your browser.
It works from a full alphabet sheet, not a photo of a single word, logo or sign. The easiest way to get one is the prompt Fonthead gives you.
Open the font maker →Pick a style
Choose a sheet style (standard, script, monoline, flat color or gradient color) and a starting look: geometric sans, slab serif, marker hand, art deco, pixel, or a look of your own.
Make the prompt yours
Fonthead writes the prompt for you. Use it as is, edit it, or add your own style description before you generate.

Drop it into the maker
Drop the finished image into the font maker. Fonthead traces each character in your browser and builds OTF, TTF and WOFF2 files, and it can build color (COLR) fonts too.
Have a photo of your handwriting?
That has its own workflow. Print the grid, write your alphabet, photograph it, and turn your handwriting into a font.
Questions
What kind of image works?
An alphabet sheet made from the Fonthead prompt in Gemini or ChatGPT. A photo of a single word, logo or sign doesn't give the maker a full set of characters to build from.
Which image generators can I use?
Gemini or ChatGPT.
Can I change the style?
Yes. Edit the prompt or add your own style description, then generate a new sheet.
Can Fonthead identify a font from a photo?
No. Fonthead makes new fonts from alphabet sheets. It doesn't identify existing fonts.
Who chooses the license?
You do. When you publish a font to the library, you choose the license other people receive. Read more about font licensing.
