How to Upload a Font to Silhouette Studio

Using a Custom Font in Silhouette?

No problem! This short guide shows you how to upload a font to Silhouette Studio and use it in your projects.

When you buy a font from FontStation, you receive:

  • Font files: TTF & OTF
  • Individual letters: PNG, SVG, and PDF

If you purchased a font elsewhere, make sure you have at least a TTF or OTF file to follow Method 1.


Method 1: Upload a Font Using Font Files

1. Install the font on your computer

Need help? See our How to Install a Font guide.

2. Open Silhouette Studio

You can start a new project or open an existing one.

3. Add a text area and select the font

If the font doesn’t show up, restart your computer after installing it.

Method 2: Upload a Font Using Individual Letter Files

  1. Open Silhouette Studio and start a new or existing project.
  2. Go to File > Open and select your PNG or SVG files.
  3. If SVG files appear incorrectly, use PNG instead. Silhouette has limited SVG support. Need larger PNG files (over 2048px)? Contact us.
