What is FontDrop?

FontDrop lets you drag a font file into the browser to see every glyph, the font's metadata, language support, OpenType features and variable font axes, plus a waterfall preview. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and it is free to use for checking fonts before you install or ship them.

Pros: what FontDrop does well

  • See every glyph at once
  • Clear font metadata
  • Runs locally in the browser

Cons: where it falls short

  • Inspection only, no editing
  • One font at a time

Who FontDrop is for

Designers checking fonts before using them in a project.

Who can skip it

People who rarely handle font files.
