Lettering

Real typefaces — exported as a file

Copy & paste text

Unicode characters — pasted straight into a profile

How it works

01

Type it once

One text field feeds every style on the page at the same time, so you are comparing your own words rather than the word the tool chose. Press Enter for a second line.

02

Compare, then pick

Every specimen renders live. Nothing is a static image, so a long name and a short one behave differently and you see that before you commit to a style.

03

Take it away

Copy the styled text straight to your clipboard, or download a transparent PNG or a vector SVG. Physical work also gets a stencil outline, a mirror toggle and true millimetre printing.

Questions

01

Is InkFonts free?

Yes — every tool, every style and every download, with no account, no watermark and no export limit. There is no paid tier.
02

What is the difference between the lettering tools and the copy-and-paste tools?

The lettering tools set your words in a real typeface and give you a file: a transparent PNG or a vector SVG you can print, cut or hand to a tattoo artist. The copy-and-paste tools produce text, not a file — they swap your letters for Unicode lookalike characters that you paste into a bio, username or message, where a real font cannot follow. Same input, two different destinations.
03

Do I need to install anything?

No. The fonts are loaded by the page itself, so nothing is installed on your device and nobody viewing your PNG needs the font either — it is already an image. The copy-and-paste styles are ordinary characters and need no font at all.
04

Can I use these commercially?

Yes. Every typeface here is published under the SIL Open Font License, which permits personal and commercial use, including tattoos, merchandise and client work. The full list with links to each licence is on the font licences page.
05

Does my text get uploaded anywhere?

No. Every specimen, export and clipboard copy is produced in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server, so nothing you type here can be logged or stored.
06

Should I download PNG or SVG?

PNG carries a transparent background and suits posts, mockups and anything you are placing over another image. SVG is vector, so it stays sharp at any size and opens in design software and cutting machines — the better choice for a tattoo stencil, a decal or signage.
