Key Takeaways

- Download and install new fonts before accessing them in CapCut.
- Make sure to restart CapCut after adding new fonts for them to appear.
Step 1: Close CapCut
Before you begin, it’s essential to close CapCut completely. This step is necessary because CapCut will not recognize newly installed fonts if it remains open.
Step 2: Download the Font You Want to Use
To use a new font in CapCut, you’ll first need to download it. Here’s how:
- Find a font you like from a website that offers free fonts. For this example, we’ll use a free font called “The Bold Font.“
- Once you find your font, click on the download button.
- The font will download as a ZIP file.
Make sure to use trusted websites for downloading fonts. Some popular options include DaFont and Google Fonts.
Step 3: Extract the ZIP File
After downloading the font, you’ll need to extract it from the ZIP file:
- Right-click on the ZIP file in your downloads folder.
- Choose the option that says “Extract Files.”
- If you have software like WinRAR or 7-Zip, you can use these tools to extract the font files to a folder.
Once extracted, open the folder to view the font files.
Step 4: Install the Font on Your PC
Now that you’ve extracted the font files, it’s time to install them on your PC:
- Locate the font files in the extracted folder.
- Double-click on each font file.
- A window will pop up with an option to install the font. Click “Install.”
Repeat this process for any additional font files if the font comes in different styles (e.g., Bold, Italic).
Step 5: Open CapCut and Access the New Font
Once your font is installed, you can now open CapCut and start using it in your video projects:
- Launch CapCut on your PC.
- Open a project and select the text where you want to apply the new font.
- Click on the “Font” option in the text editing menu.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the font list, and you’ll find the “System Fonts” section.
- Your newly installed font should appear here. In this example, it will be listed as “The Bold Font.”
Click on your new font, and it will be applied to the selected text in your CapCut project.
