How to Download and add best Custom Fonts on CapCut?

Downloading and adding custom fonts to CapCut can enhance your video projects by giving them a personalized touch. However, it’s important to note that CapCut doesn’t have an in-app feature that allows you to directly download and install custom fonts, so you’ll need to follow a series of steps to get the fonts onto your device and use them within CapCut.

Step 1: Download Custom Fonts

To begin, you need to choose and download a custom font. Websites like Google Fonts, Dafont, or FontSpace offer a wide variety of free fonts to choose from. Here’s how to download them:

1. Go to a Font Website: Head to a website like Google Fonts or Dafont. Browse through their extensive libraries of fonts and find one that suits your project.
2. Select the Font: Once you’ve found the font you like, click to download it. Most fonts will be available in .ttf (TrueType Font) or .otf (OpenType Font) format, which is compatible with most devices and apps.
3. Download the Font File: Click the download button and the font file will be saved to your device, typically in a zip folder. You may need to extract the file to access the actual font.

Step 2: Install the Font on Your Device

After downloading the font, you’ll need to install it on your device so that it can be used in CapCut. The process differs depending on whether you’re using an Android or iOS device.

For Android Devices:

1. Download the Font: Save the .ttf or .otf file to your device.
2. Use a Font Manager: Android doesn’t natively allow you to install custom fonts system-wide for apps like CapCut. Therefore, you’ll need a font manager app. Apps like iFont or FontFix can help you install custom fonts on your Android device.
   • Open the font manager app and select the font file you’ve downloaded.
   • Follow the instructions within the app to install the font to your device.
3. Set Up Font in CapCut: Once the font is installed, open CapCut and create a new project or edit an existing one. When you add text to your video, go to the font selection menu, and you should see the custom font available in the list.

For iOS Devices:

1. Download the Font: Save the .ttf or .otf file to your device.
2. Install the Font Using a Font Management App: iOS does not allow system-wide font installation directly through file management, so you need an app like AnyFont or iFont to install custom fonts.
   • Download a font management app from the App Store.
   • Open the app and follow its instructions to add the downloaded font file. Typically, this will involve importing the font into the app and installing it as a profile on your iPhone or iPad.
3. Apply the Font in CapCut: After installing the font using the font management app, open CapCut. When adding text, tap on the font selection tool, and you should be able to find your newly installed custom font in the list of available fonts.

Step 3: Using the Custom Font in CapCut

Once you’ve successfully installed the font, you can use it in your CapCut projects. Here’s how:

1. Open CapCut: Start a new project or open an existing one.
2. Add Text: Tap on the Text tool to add text to your video.
3. Select the Font: In the text editor, tap on the font option. Scroll through the list of fonts until you find your custom font. Select it to apply it to your text.
4. Customize the Text: You can adjust the size, color, positioning, and animation of the text to match your project’s style.

Alternative Methods: Using Third-Party Apps for Custom Fonts

If you encounter issues with adding fonts directly into CapCut, you can use third-party apps to create text with custom fonts and import the images or videos back into CapCut. Apps like Phonto (for Android and iOS) or Canva allow you to add custom fonts and save the text as an image or video. Then, you can import that file into CapCut for further editing.

Conclusion

Adding custom fonts to CapCut enhances your videos with a personalized touch, though it requires installing the fonts via font management apps. Once installed, you can easily apply them within CapCut to customize your text.
