Review Summary
WhatFont is widely praised for its ease of use and ability to quickly identify and preview fonts along with their styles, making it a valuable tool for web and UI designers. However, multiple users report inconsistent performance, especially with fonts in images or scripts, occasional failures, and inaccurate color detection. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a popular and effective extension for font identification on most web pages.
Pros
- Provides detailed font information (font name, size, color, style) with a simple click.
- User-friendly and easy-to-use interface with clear font previews.
- Highly useful for web designers and UI/UX designers, aiding in inspiration and workflow.
- Works well for most users and fulfills its intended purpose effectively.
- Supports quick identification of fonts on web pages, enhancing productivity.
Cons
- Does not work on fonts embedded in images or handwritten/script fonts, limiting its scope.
- Occasionally fails to work or becomes unreliable for some users.
- Color detection is inaccurate, often showing black or white instead of the actual color.
- Compatibility issues reported with some platforms like Shopify stores.
- Some users find it only reads CSS/source code, which may not cover all font types, making it less effective in some cases.
