## 1. Sitepeel

Paste a link and Sitepeel lists every font that actually renders, with weights, sizes, line heights, where each appears, where to get it and free look-alikes. In Chrome, Detect fonts works on hover and Swap fonts tries 2,100+ families on the page.

## 4. WhatFontIs

Upload a picture and WhatFontIs matches the font against a huge database, with free look-alikes. It works from images, so it’s the one for logos and screenshots.

## 5. Chrome DevTools

Inspect text, open Computed and scroll to Rendered fonts. It shows the font the browser really used, which isn’t always the first name in the CSS.

## Which one should you pick?

**Verdict:** Keep WhatFont for quick hovers. For every font on a page and where to get it, use Sitepeel’s free font finder. To buy a font, Fonts Ninja. For a font in a picture, WhatFontIs.
