Font Licensing Guide

At FontDownloader, we believe in supporting both creativity and legal clarity. This page explains how you can use the fonts shared on our site, whether you’re creating personal projects or using them in commercial work.

Please read the following guidelines carefully to avoid copyright violations.

Personal Use License (Free)

Unless otherwise stated, all fonts on FontDownloader are free to use for personal, non-commercial purposes.

What qualifies as personal use?

You can use a font for free if your project is not intended to generate profit or promote a business. This includes:

  • School assignments and classwork

  • Personal artwork and hobby projects

  • Non-commercial social media posts

  • Personal blogs, scrapbooks, and invitations

  • Design practice and portfolio samples

No payment or license purchase is required for personal use — download and create freely.

Commercial Use Requires Proper Licensing

If you plan to use a font in any way that generates revenue or serves a commercial purpose, a commercial license is required. Fonts remain the property of their respective designers, and unauthorised commercial use is a violation of copyright.

Examples of commercial use:

  • Client design work (logos, graphics, websites)

  • Branding and business materials

  • Merchandise for sale (shirts, packaging, prints)

  • Ads (digital or print)

  • YouTube thumbnails or videos that earn revenue

To use a font commercially, visit its dedicated download page and follow the instructions provided there. Each font post indicates whether it’s for personal use only or includes a commercial license.
