FontMaker - Online OTF & TTF Font Creator
FontMaker is a complete online tool that lets you build your own OTF and TTF fonts directly in your browser. Import your glyphs as SVG files, map each shape to a character, refine metrics like baseline, spacing, and visual alignment, and export a fully functional font you can install on any system. No software installation, no registration required.
How to Create a Custom Font Online
- Step 1 - Import your glyphs: Upload your SVG drawings (letters, numbers, symbols, icons). Batch import ensures a smooth and fast workflow.
- Step 2 - Map characters: Assign each glyph to its character (A, B, C, 0, 1, 2...) and define aliases for accented letters or stylistic alternates.
- Step 3 - Adjust metrics: Fine tune baseline, ascender, descender, x-height and overall proportions for consistency across your typeface.
- Step 4 - Preview your font: Type any sentence and test spacing, readability, size, and line height directly inside the app.
- Step 5 - Export OTF or TTF: Download a professional font file compatible with all major platforms and design tools.
Complete Control Over Glyph Metrics
FontMaker gives you access to precise typographic tools normally found in desktop font editors:
- Baseline offset and global vertical control
- Cap height, x-height, ascender, and descender guides
- Left and right spacing (side bearings)
- Individual scaling for visual consistency
- Linked characters for accented or alternate variants
OTF and TTF Export Included
FontMaker lets you export your work in both OTF and TTF formats, ensuring maximum compatibility with creative software such as Photoshop, Figma, Illustrator, Procreate, and Krita, as well as office tools like Word and Google Docs. Your custom font will also work on all major operating systems and can be embedded into websites or apps without any technical complexity.

Extract Glyphs Easily with GlyphCutter
GlyphCutter is the perfect companion tool for FontMaker when your letters come from a scanned sheet or any raster image. Click each glyph directly on your picture, let the system detect its shape, and export the entire set as clean SVG files inside a ZIP archive. This makes it incredibly simple to turn illustrated alphabets, hand drawn characters, or bitmap symbol grids into ready to use vector glyphs for your custom font.
