About
gpu-font is a browser-based tool that identifies which font is used in a cropped line of text by comparing it against catalogs including Google Fonts, DaFont, Adobe Fonts, GitHub font repositories, and Debian packages. It uses a small neural network, trained in PyTorch on rendered Google Fonts samples and run with WebGPU, to score grayscale crops of the input against every catalog font and rank the closest matches, including weight and italic.
At a glance
gpu-font ranks likely typefaces from an image crop in your browser. It is worth trying when you have a clear line of text and want a shortlist of fonts to compare.
Good fit
Designers looking for a plausible match from a screenshot or clean graphic.
Consider something else when
Use the original design assets when the exact face or licensing status must be established.
Start here
Crop a line with several distinct letters. Compare the first few matches with the image and try a second crop to see whether the ranking holds.
Cost and requirements
Browser tool with documented WebGPU and CPU paths. The project also publishes an npm interface.
Limits to know
The model is experimental and limited by its catalog. Blur, perspective, short text and similar families can produce a plausible wrong answer.
