Font preview app?

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner selling fonts is seeking an app that allows visitors to type custom text and preview it across all available fonts. They need the ability to upload their own font files. Their preferred solution, Font Popper, is no longer available.

Two alternative apps were recommended:

  • Easify Product Options: Supports custom text input with live font preview. Users can select from Google Fonts or upload custom fonts (TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2). The app includes a ‘Product Personalizer’ feature with live preview functionality that can be linked to font selections.

  • Kickflip: A product customization platform designed for customizable items like cards or books. Allows real-time font preview with Google Fonts or custom uploads. Supports TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 formats. Users create font questions and add font answers through the interface.

Both solutions offer custom font upload capabilities and live preview features, though the exact visual presentation may differ from the original example shown.

Hi everyone! My website sells several fonts. I’d like to have a font previewer app, so that visitors can type a sentence and it will then show that sentence in all the different available fonts. I should be able to upload my own font files. Something like this:

I found an app that is perfect: https://apps.shopify.com/font-popper. But unfortunately for some reason, it’s no longer in use. Can anyone help me further?

Best, Mauritscf

Hi @Mauritscf

You can try Easify Product Options! It lets customers type a sentence and preview it in different fonts. While it might not look exactly like your demo, it supports custom font uploads and can help showcase your fonts interactively. Here’s how it works:

  • This is the result:

  • This is the app setting:

You can let your customers choose font from Google fonts, or you can upload your own fonts

To enable a big live preview of your font like in the demo result, you just need to turn on the ‘Enable the Live Preview’ in the Product Personalizer. And link it with the Font like this:

This app is straightforward, and I believe it will work well for you. Reach out to Easify if you need any assistance! :hugs:

Hi @Mauritscf ,

I recommend trying Kickflip, a powerful customization platform that allows you to build and integrate customizable products into your online store. For example, if you sell cards or books, you can upload them to the customizer and add a font selection option, enabling your customers to preview their chosen font in real time. You can use Google Fonts or upload your own for a fully personalized experience.

To create a font question:

  1. Open your text question.
  2. At the bottom of the right panel, click on + Font question.

Once your font question is created, you can add font answers.

  1. Open your font question. Within the right side panel, next to Font answers, hit the + button.

From there, you can upload a font and hit Create. You can upload TTF, OTF, WOFF and WOFF2 font files. If you are mostly targeting users with modern browsers, you can only use WOFF and WOFF2 formats. If you want to expand support as wide as possible, upload OTF and TTF files as well.
