Why teams use FontScanner

Full-site crawls and PDF uploads — so your font audit covers live pages and the documents you send to clients.

📊

Every Subpage Scanned

Unlike tools that only check a single URL, we crawl your entire site — every linked page — so nothing hides on an inner page.

🔍

Deep Font Detection

Detects Google Fonts, Typekit, Bunny Fonts, self-hosted, and system fonts via CSS parsing and DOM analysis.

📄

PDF Font Audit

Upload a PDF to extract embedded fonts and flag commercial licenses — press kits, catalogs, and proposals included.

⚠️

License Risk Alerts

Instantly flags commercial fonts that require a paid license. Know before you get an invoice.

How it works

Scan a website or upload a PDF. Get a font compliance report either way.

1

Enter a domain or upload a PDF

Paste any website URL, or from your dashboard upload a PDF (up to 10 MB). No plugins required.

2

We detect the fonts

Sites: we crawl pages and parse HTML, CSS, JS, CDN links, and linked PDFs. Documents: we extract embedded fonts from your upload.

3

Review your report

License alerts, catalog matches, and exportable reports for your team, clients, or legal review.

What's in your scan report

Every scan produces a comprehensive font audit — the same reports you see on the scan detail page.

Licensed Fonts — Action Required

Commercial fonts loaded from your site (web font files or CDN). Flags vendor, license type, and purchase links.

Mentioned in CSS

Paid fonts referenced in font-family stacks without file distribution — typically system-font fallbacks with no web license obligation.

Unverified Self-Hosted Fonts

Fonts served from your domain that aren't in our license database. Flagged for manual verification.

PDF Embedded Fonts

Fonts found in PDFs linked from your site — or in a PDF you uploaded for a dedicated document audit.

Font Health Report

Compliance score with severity-rated checks and actionable recommendations to improve font licensing posture.

Page-by-Page Breakdown

Expandable per-page table showing every font, its source (CDN, CSS, JS), status badges, and source snippets.

Reports can be exported as PDF for sharing with clients or legal teams. Learn more about FontScanner · See pricing · Read the blog

Frequently asked questions

What is FontScanner?
FontScanner is an online tool that audits fonts on websites and uploaded PDFs — including licensed commercial fonts like Adobe Fonts, Typekit, Linotype, and Monotype typefaces that may require a paid license.
Is the font scan free?
Yes. Create a free account and get 1 scan credit instantly — no credit card required. Use it for a full-site crawl or a PDF upload. Additional scans are available through flexible credit packages that never expire.
Which fonts does FontScanner detect?
On websites: Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts (Typekit), Bunny Fonts, self-hosted WOFF/WOFF2 files, system fonts, icon fonts, and fonts loaded via @font-face or JavaScript. In PDFs: embedded text fonts extracted from the document.
Can FontScanner scan a PDF for fonts?
Yes. From your dashboard, upload a PDF (up to 10 MB). We extract embedded fonts, match them against our commercial catalog, and flag fonts that may need an embed or document license. Each PDF scan costs 1 credit — the same as a website scan.
What does the scan report include?
Website reports include compliance score, font health checks, licensed font alerts, unverified self-hosted fonts, fonts in linked PDFs, inventory, and page-by-page breakdown. PDF upload reports list every embedded font with license flags and purchase links. You can export reports as PDF.
How does FontScanner scan for fonts?
For websites, enter a domain and FontScanner crawls page by page — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, @font-face, CDN links, and linked PDFs. For documents, upload a PDF and we extract embedded font metadata. Both paths produce a license risk analysis.
Does FontScanner provide legal advice?
No. FontScanner provides informational font audit reports only. It helps you identify fonts and potential licensing risks, but it does not constitute legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for legal questions about font licensing.
