Choosing the right font is easier when you can see it rendered at different sizes and weights before committing. The MyPDF Font Preview tool lets you upload any font file and test it with custom text, adjustable sizes, and colour options — all in your browser.
How to Preview a Font
- Upload — Drop your font file (TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2) into the previewer.
- Configure — Type your own sample text, adjust font size, line height, and letter spacing.
- Evaluate — Compare how the font renders across different sizes and weights to decide if it fits your project.
Supported Font Formats
| Format | Extension | Supported |
|---|---|---|
| TrueType | .ttf | Yes |
| OpenType | .otf | Yes |
| WOFF | .woff | Yes |
| WOFF2 | .woff2 | Yes |
| Variable fonts | .ttf / .otf | Yes (all axes) |
Practical Tips
- Test at body text size. Fonts that look great in headings can be hard to read at 14-16px. Always preview at the sizes you will actually use.
- Check special characters. Type currency symbols, accented letters, and punctuation into the preview to confirm glyph coverage before deploying.
- Compare before and after subsetting. Preview both the full font and a subsetted version to verify nothing important was removed.
Can I preview variable fonts with custom axis values?
Yes. The previewer exposes sliders for all registered and custom axes (weight, width, slant, optical size, and any designer-defined axes).
Does the tool show font metrics like ascent and descent?
The previewer focuses on visual rendering. For detailed metrics and table data, use the Font Metadata tool.
Can I compare two fonts side by side?
Upload two font files and the tool renders both with the same sample text, making it easy to compare at a glance.
