Font licence checker
What does this font actually allow?
Drop in a .ttf or .otf and read the licence the designer wrote into the file itself — who made it, and whether you may use it commercially. Nothing is uploaded; the file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer.
How to read the answer
- A named licence — SIL Open Font License, Apache, CC0 and the rest are unambiguous. The Open Font License in particular allows commercial use, but forbids selling the font on its own and requires you to rename it if you modify a Reserved Font Name.
- "Free for personal use" — this is the one that catches people out. It is not free for a logo, a client project, a product, or anything that earns money. A commercial licence has to be bought from the designer.
- The file does not say — silence is not permission. A stripped licence field usually means the file was converted or re-saved somewhere along the way, and the original terms went with it. Treat it as unknown and find the designer.
This reads what the file claims. It is a fast, honest first check, not legal advice — a font can carry the wrong text, and a repackaged file can carry someone else's.
