The Custom Fonts feature allows you to upload and apply your own font files to your designs. Whether you’re using a unique font that reflects your brand or working with client-specific typography, Custom Fonts help make your designs stand out and stay on-brand.
This feature is available exclusively on the Pro and Business plans:
- Pro plan users can upload up to 5 Custom Fonts for each Board Canvas, and up to 5 Custom Fonts in their Workspace Library.
- Business plan users can upload and use an unlimited number of Custom Fonts at both the Board and Workspace levels.
How to Upload Custom Fonts
You can upload custom fonts to either the Workspace level (shared across all boards) or the Board level (specific to one board).
We support these file formats:
- TTF (TrueType Font)
- OTF (OpenType Font)
