Frequently Asked Questions
What is font copyright and why does it matter?▾
Fonts are creative works protected by copyright and licensing agreements. Using a font without the proper license can result in cease-and-desist letters, fines, or lawsuits — even if you didn't know the font was restricted. Checking before you ship protects your business and your clients.
How do I check if a font is safe to use commercially?▾
Enter the font name in the search box above and we'll analyze its license type, usage restrictions, and risk level. You'll get a clear assessment — Low, Medium, or High risk — along with specific recommendations for your intended use (web, print, app, commercial, or personal).
What does the website font scanner detect?▾
The URL scanner loads any website and identifies every font in use — including web fonts loaded from Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, and self-hosted files. For each font, it checks the license type and flags any potential compliance issues, giving you a complete font audit of the site.
What do the risk levels mean?▾
Low risk means the font is free or open-source with permissive licensing (like Google Fonts or SIL OFL). Medium risk means commercial licensing may be required depending on your use case. High risk means the font has restrictive licensing and commercial use likely requires purchasing a license.
Do I need a license for Google Fonts?▾
No — Google Fonts are open-source and free to use in any project, including commercial work. They're licensed under the SIL Open Font License or Apache License, which allow free use, modification, and distribution. Our checker will confirm this for any Google Font.
