Importing fonts into Procreate is actually very easy, you just need to have the font file you want to use on your iPad. In this article, we’ll show you how to download new fonts to your iPad and use them in Procreate for your art projects.

Downloading a Font to the iPad

Before you can use the new font in Procreate, you first need the font files on your iPad. These will be .otf or .ttf files. In the following steps, we will show you how to download these files and use them.

Find the site you want to download fonts from. This could be a free site like 1001freefonts.com or a premium font you bought. After you click on the link to download the font, you should see a blue arrow to the right of the browser’s address bar showing the progress of the download.

After downloading the file, click on that blue arrow and click on the downloaded file. You will open the Files app. Or you can go to the Files app yourself and click on the Downloads folder.

The font file will most likely be a ZIP file, so click on it to unzip it. In this unzipped file, you will see either .otf files or .ttf files or both.

Now that you have your font file, you can import it into Procreate and use it.
