Install Fontied from the Chrome Web Store, open the site you are interested in, and click the Fontied icon in the toolbar. You get one box per font weight the page actually uses, each with a Download button, plus a Download all button that saves the lot as a zip.
Open the page and click the Fontied icon. Each box shows the family name rendered in its own typeface, the weight, and the file format. Fontied reads the page's @font-face rules and then keeps only the faces the browser actually rendered, so you see what is really in use rather than everything the site happens to ship.
By default you get the file exactly as the site serves it, byte for byte — on the modern web that is almost always .woff2. A switch under the header converts to a desktop font instead, giving you .ttf or .otf.
Yes, and the conversion runs entirely on your own computer — no file is uploaded anywhere. A woff2 is a compressed wrapper around the same font tables a desktop font contains, so converting is decompression and repacking, not redrawing. The outlines are untouched. Expect the file to get roughly two to three times larger, because that is what decompression means.
Because the font has PostScript (CFF) outlines, and those cannot go into a .ttf container at all. That is a format rule, not a limitation of the tool. Fontied saves it as .otf instead, which is the correct desktop format for that font, and the button tells you it saved .otf. Converting CFF curves into TrueType ones is a genuine redrawing problem and Fontied does not attempt it.
Yes. Fontied fetches cross-origin stylesheets the page itself is not allowed to read, which matters because on many real sites every font declaration lives on a CDN rather than the site's own domain. It also reads rules nested inside @media, @supports, @layer and @import.
Large families are split by unicode-range into subsets — latin, latin-extended, cyrillic and so on — which are separate files for the same weight. Fontied groups them into one box so the list stays readable, and still downloads every one of them, so no glyph coverage is lost.
Yes. Chrome blocks extensions from running on its own protected pages, so Fontied cannot inspect chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, or the new tab page. On ordinary websites it needs you to click the toolbar icon first, because it requests only activeTab permission and has no access to any page until you do.
It is free, with no accounts and no paid tier. It collects nothing: no analytics, no tracking, no crash reporting, no identifiers, and no servers of ours that it talks to. Everything happens in your browser. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Downloading a font file does not grant you a licence to use it. Most typefaces on the web are licensed for that specific site, and a web licence rarely covers desktop use, redistribution or commercial work. Fontied is intended for personal, non-commercial use — inspecting a page, identifying a typeface, checking how something is built. If you want to use a font in your own work, buy the licence from its foundry.
