Add Fonts to Photoshop on Windows and Mac
Photoshop uses your operating system’s font library. By installing fonts on Windows or macOS, they’ll be available across Photoshop, other Adobe apps, Office, and more. If a new font doesn’t show up right away, restarting the app usually resolves it.
Step-by-step instructions
Download and verify the font
Find a reputable source and confirm the license fits your use (personal or commercial).
Download the archive (e.g., .zip, .rar, .7z) containing the font files.
Extract the font files
On Windows/macOS, double-click a .zip to extract; for .rar/.7z use tools like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
Locate the .ttf or .otf files after extraction.
Install on Windows
Right-click the .ttf/.otf file → Install (or Install for all users).
Or double-click the file to preview, then click Install in the preview window.
Install on macOS
Double-click the .ttf/.otf file to open it in Font Book.
Click Install Font; it appears in Font Book and is available system-wide.
Use the font in Photoshop
Open Photoshop and select the Type Tool (T).
In the font dropdown, search for and select your installed font.
If it doesn’t appear, save your work and restart Photoshop.
