How to install a font

Your font downloads as a single .ttf file, named after the font (for example SpookyDrip4F2A-Regular.ttf). Here's how to install it on every common device and use it in popular apps.

Windows 10 and 11

  1. Open your Downloads folder and double-click the .ttf file.
  2. In the preview window, click Install. (Or right-click the file and choose Install, or Install for all users.)
  3. Restart any app that was already open — Word, PowerPoint, Photoshop — and the font appears in its font list under its name.

macOS

  1. Double-click the downloaded .ttf file. Font Book opens with a preview.
  2. Click Install.
  3. Restart the app you want to use it in. Pages, Keynote, Word and Adobe apps all pick it up.

Linux

Copy the file into ~/.local/share/fonts/ (create the folder if needed), then run fc-cache -f in a terminal. Most desktops also install a font when you double-click it.

iPhone and iPad

iOS only installs fonts through apps. Two easy routes:

Android

Android doesn't install fonts system-wide by default. Instead, import the .ttf into the app you're using: PixelLab, Kinemaster, Ibis Paint and many other design and video apps have an "add font" option that reads the file from your Downloads folder.
