Xtractly vs WhatFont:which one fits?

WhatFont is the quickest way to answer "what font is this?" for one line of text. Xtractly answers it for the whole page — every text style as a type scale you can copy as CSS or Tailwind — and handles colours, assets and components too.

Where each one shines

What WhatFont does well

  • Fast, lightweight hover-to-identify for any text.
  • Shows where a font is served from, such as Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts.
  • Free, simple and widely used.

Choose WhatFont if all you ever need is the name of a font, as fast and as light as possible.

Where Xtractly is different

  • Lists the page's entire type scale — Heading 1, Body, Caption — rendered in each style.
  • Copies a text style as CSS or Tailwind, including the @import or @font-face to load it.
  • Flags fonts the page loads but never uses.
  • Also extracts colours, assets and whole components.

Choose Xtractly if you want a site's typography as usable CSS or Tailwind — and its colours and components while you're there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Xtractly a WhatFont alternative?

Yes for identifying fonts, and it adds the page's full type scale with CSS and Tailwind export. If you only need the font name, WhatFont is lighter.

Is font inspection free in Xtractly?

Yes. It's on the free plan; copying CSS or Tailwind needs a free account.
