About
Hi, I am Marc, and I make FontMaker.
A couple of years ago I wanted something stupidly simple: to turn my own handwriting into a font. I was making the save-the-dates for a friend's wedding, and I wanted the text to look handwritten, because it was.
Every tool I found was a font editor built for professionals: heavy desktop software, a steep learning curve, and a price tag to match. To turn a few letters into a font, I would have needed a whole weekend just to learn the interface, plus a subscription on top.
That felt backwards. Making a font from your own letters should take five minutes, not a career. So one weekend, instead of fighting someone else's software, I wrote my own: something that opened in a browser, took my drawings, and handed back a real font file I could install. It was rough, but it worked, and the cards looked great.
I kept polishing it, and that became FontMaker. It runs entirely in your browser, keeps your files on your device, and stays free: no account, no watermark, no upsell. I still believe what I believed that weekend: the font is already in your handwriting. You should just be able to take it out.
