FAQ
What is a maker font?
It’s simply a custom typeface or font you create yourself from your handwriting and is exported as a standard .TTF. On MakeYourOwnFont.com, you draw your own glyphs, preview them together, then export a file you can install and use in common design apps.
How do I turn handwriting into a TTF?
Go to the Studio page and draw each letter on the grid then once done drawing all the glyphs click the Build and Download button. Install it on your computer to use in Canva, and other tools.
Can I use the fonts in Canva?
Yes. Once you install the exported TTF on your device, it appears like any other system font.
Do I own the font I export?
If you created the glyphs yourself and used assets you own, the resulting TTF is yours. You can use it personally or commercially. If you plan to sell or distribute it, consider adding a simple license text file.
What file format do I get?
You get a standard TrueType Font (.TTF) file. This format installs on macOS and Windows and works across popular apps. If you need additional formats later (like .OTF or webfonts), you can convert using common type tools.
