Knowing various font styles is real advantage for designers, but no one can recognize a specific font jut by looking at it. When using a word processor, you just need to select a text to see what font it is using, but if you receive an image, it can be difficult to say what font has been used. This is where Find my Font Free will help you. It is not a standard character recognition software, but it will tell you everything about a font from an image. You will have to select some of the letters yourself, but the results are excellent.

Find my Font comes in both payed and free versions and it is available for Windows and Mac OS X platforms. The setup kit is over 15 Mb large and once you download it, you can have the program up and running after a swift installation process.

You can load images in various formats, including BMP, JPEG, GIF and more. Once loaded, an image will be displayed in a preview area, in the upper left part of the interface. Besides the option for opening an image, you will find other ones for taking a screenshot and loading it immediately, rotating the image and others.

The most important feature, is the letter selection tool. It works like a magic wand tool, so you just need to click the letters in the image and they will be displayed separately beneath the image preview. After selecting the characters, you will have to tell the program what they are by typing the corresponding letters in a dialog box.

Once the letters are selected, you must click the a button, on the right side of the main window. After a quick search process, the matching fonts will be listed in the same area. Before starting the search, you can select a local search, an online search or both. If you do not have that font installed on your computer, an online search will ensure that you will find what you are looking for. Besides matching fonts, the application will also find similar or related fonts. A preview of the font is displayed beneath the search results, as well as general information about a selected font, including family, font set, file and location.

Find my Font lets you browse through your installed fonts as well. You can find them in a list, after clicking a navigation tab, above the image preview. A search function will help you find a specific font faster, and you can also set the program to search for fonts that begin with or contain your keywords or select a case sensitive search.

Pros

Find my Font will recognize letters from an image immediately. It lets you search for matching or similar fonts on your hard drive or on the Internet. Once it finds the fonts, it will provide you with general information about them. Although you can use the sofware, free of charge, for 30 days, you will not be restricted in any way, during this time.

Cons

There are no issues to encounter while using this software. If you can not recognize a certain font, Find my Font Free will identify it for you immediately. With its local and online search capabilities, it will provide you with information about any font you select on an image.
