How To Add A Font To Photoshop

Plus where to find fonts online

If you want to know how to add a font to Photoshop, you’ll need to choose between two different methods. The option you choose depends on what you need the font for.

For example, if you want your fonts added to all Adobe apps, you can use Adobe Creative Cloud. Otherwise, you can install fonts locally for use across all apps.

We’ll explain both methods below and offer some tips on how to find different fonts online.

Add A Font to Photoshop Through Adobe Creative Cloud

There is a feature available in Adobe Creative Cloud that allows you to download and add fonts to Photoshop directly using your Adobe account. The benefit of this is that you’ll be able to access your new fonts across all Adobe apps on all devices.

Add a Font to Photoshop Without Adobe Creative Cloud

If you want to add fonts to Photoshop without Adobe Creative Cloud, you’ll first need to find those fonts online. You can then download them and install them easily using the steps below.

First, make sure you read carefully about the licenses available for any fonts you download online. While some fonts may be free to download, you may only be able to use them freely for personal use. Font creators will often have a paid-for license for commercial use.

If you’d like free fonts for commercial use, you can tryGoogle Fonts. All Google fonts here are open source. Alternatively,DaFontcan be a great place to find a larger selection of fonts for free, personal use. We also have a great article on8 safe sites to find more fonts.

Note: On Mac, the process is similar. Simply extract the zip file and double click the extracted font files and you’ll have the option to install it in Font Book.

The biggest drawback with this approach is that your fonts will only be installed locally on your machine. This means you’ll need to install them again on other devices if you want to continue using them elsewhere.

How To Manage Your Fonts

You can manage your fonts through Adobe Creative Cloud or locally on your PC or Mac. This could be useful if you want to remove unused fonts or want to check if a font has been installed correctly.

Note that these fonts will only work in Adobe apps that you have an active subscription for.

All installed fonts will appear here. Click on each font to uninstall it, change default settings or preview it. If a font doesn’t appear here, it’s likely that you didn’t install it correctly.

In Font Book, all installed fonts can be seen, previewed, and uninstalled here. If you cannot see a recently installed font, it might be because you haven’t installed it properly.
