CONVERTING FONTS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

1. ADD FONTS

Drop any number of fonts in any old and modern format (including VFB and UFO), or even folders and ZIP archives into TransType.

2. CHOOSE PROFILE

TransType preserves all of the original font data but optimizes the font files and fixes some common problems on the way.

3. CLICK ON CONVERT

Get industry-strength, optimized, cross-platform OpenType or TrueType fonts and CSS @font-face web fonts (WOFF & EOT) that just work.

Organize and fix fonts

MANAGE ENTIRE FONT FAMILIES, NOT JUST SINGLE FONTS.

Organize

Split, merge or rename font families with just a few clicks — faster and easier than in any font converter ever before.

Fix

When TransType converts your fonts, it upgrades to the newest and finest version of the format. Bingo! — font problems corrected.

Rename

Your font families will work in Windows, Mac and Adobe apps, without ever missing a single font style.

Color fonts

TRUE MULTI-COLOR OPENTYPE FONTS!

Snap

Create gorgeous multi-color OpenType fonts from bitmap fonts made with BitFonter, from traditional outline fonts, from SVG fonts or any other color OpenType fonts.

Paint

TransType is the first font converter in the world to support three multi-color extensions of the OpenType format: COLR, SVG and sbix!

OVERLAY

They will work in Adobe CC 2019 apps, some Mac and Windows apps, and with our free FontLab Pad app, they work everywhere! Just imagine what you can do if you’re no longer limited to classic black-and-white!

Have fun!

CREATIVE SPECIAL EFFECTS!

Blend

It’s not all work and no play for TransType. Be experimental: apply a special effect to any font — and voila!

Perspective

With spectacularly anti-typographic effects that include Fake Italic, Smoooth, Blur them All or the Reality Distortion Field, absolutely no drawing skills are necessary to ruin one type designer’s months of hard labor.

Distort

Apply tracking and auto-kerning, blend between a light and a bold font to create intermediate weights.

Export customizable font previews and glyph maps as PDFs for your or your client’s reference.
