How Do I Download Fonts Into Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:45 pm

If you want to add new fonts to Photoshop, there are a few easy ways to do it. You can either download fonts from the Internet or install them from your computer. Here’s how to do both:

Downloading Fonts from the Internet

There are many websites that offer free fonts for download. A quick search will reveal a long list of options. Once you’ve found a font you like, simply click the Download button and follow the instructions.

Most fonts will come in a .zip file, so you’ll need to unzip them before you can install them. To do this, right-click on the file and select “Extract All.” This will open up a new window where you can choose where to save the extracted files.

Once the files are extracted, you can install them by double-clicking on each font file and clicking “Install.”

Installing Fonts from Your Computer

If you have fonts already installed on your computer, you can add them to Photoshop by copying them into the Photoshop Fonts folder. This folder is usually located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Fonts (for Windows) or Applications/Adobe Photoshop/Fonts (for Mac).

To copy fonts into this folder, simply open up the Fonts folder on your computer, select the fonts you want to use in Photoshop, and then paste them into the Photoshop Fonts folder.

Once the fonts are copied over, they should be available in Photoshop immediately. You can access them by going to Edit > Preferences > Type (in Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Type (on a Mac).

Conclusion: Adding new fonts to Photoshop is a quick and easy process that can be done by downloading them from the internet or installing them from your computer.

PRO TIP: The following note is provided as a warning for those seeking to download fonts into Photoshop. Please be aware that there are many scams online promising free or low-cost fonts, but instead deliver malware or viruses. Be sure to only download fonts from reputable websites, and never open an email attachment containing a font file unless you are absolutely certain it is safe.
