WhatFont

The app hasn’t been working for weeks now. Is it down?

True, this is not an app as someone mentioned, it’s more an extension/add-on for Safari, and the directions to set it up are very clear and easy to follow and take only a minute. I’ve used out countless times to identify fonts and it works great—I love it!

Was going for the long shot, in the hopes that maybe something similar to this, but much simpler would be available. I guess I got lucky! This does everything! And it's especially helpful for when you need to crop text and edit things but cannot figure out the original font used. For example, one of my friends writes beautiful poetry, and I wanted to save it because reading it made me happy, and I wanted others to see his works as well. He had uploaded his poetry to his poetry page, which does not allow you to save-the only other option being to copy and paste, and I didn't want it to look cheap. So my only option left was to take a screen shot, crop the photos and use a scan app to give it an original text appearance. In doing so, I accidentally got rid of the title, as well as his name :( Thankfully, using this app I was able to restore it to its former glory! And for those who may believe this is an elaborate explanation for someone that wants to plagiarize, don't kid yourselves. One of my two majors is English, and I loathe the very thought of taking credit for something that isn't your own. I'd hate to be the person that tries to steal my creations. ANYWAYS. AMAZING app and job well done to the developer!
