The mouse-only workflow and one-click export make it super easy to create, download and share fonts in. A handy, glyph-shaped overlay guides the process, providing a suggested form from which to work from which users can follow, ignore or manipulate. Clicking a square selects a pixel and colours it black, clicking again deselects and leaves the pixel blank. Launched in 2011 by Pentacom, it allows users to shape typefaces letter-by-letter and pixel-by-pixel through an easy-to-use grid-based interface.
Our 30 best free pixel fonts feature included many retro, 80’s-inspired fonts created in BitFontMaker2 – a browser-based tool, that lets you create pixel fonts in an 8-bit, pixel art style. Select the 26 layers of your alphabet & drag them on the Fontself panel.BitFontMaker2 is a simple Bitmap font Editor that lets you create pixel fonts online, in your web browser. Go to Window > Extensions > Fontself Maker The font size will grow depending on the size and also the complexity of the glyphs (how many colors, whether there are textures, etc.).
Usually, it’s safe to keep bitmap fonts below 50 megabytes, otherwise the extension may crash. This will provide sufficient quality for screen usage on Retina devices as well as small prints while keeping the font size manageable in the computer's memory. Pick the Move Tool, click & drag a whole selection around a group of letters, and move them altogether.īefore you start importing your letters into Fontself, we recommend to set the size of most glyph around 500 to 700 pixels in width and height (the pixel resolution doesn't impact your font size, only the pixel count) and no larger or wider that 1000 pixels and no smaller or tighter than 300 pixels. You should also create a horizontal guide to ensure your letters are perfectly aligned: show the View > Rulers, and click & drag on the top ruler to create a new guide.
