Your own fonts

Upload the typefaces you hold a licence for, so every file in your workspace draws in them for everyone who opens it.

Checked against uxdeck on 16 October 2026

uxdeck comes with a set of popular web fonts, and Inter is the default. When your brand uses its own typeface, upload it to your workspace: every file in that workspace then draws in it, on any computer, for everyone who opens the file, and published sites carry it too.

You can also pick a font installed on your computer, but only you see it. Uploading is how everyone else sees it.

Upload fonts

  1. Open Settings, then Fonts under Workspace.
  2. Press Upload fonts, or drop the files on the list.
  3. Check each file’s Family, Weight and Italic. uxdeck reads them from the file; correct anything it got wrong.
  4. Tick I hold a licence for these fonts that allows using them on the web.
  5. Press Upload font (or Upload 4 fonts, and so on).

Files can be WOFF2, WOFF, TTF or OTF, up to 2 MB each, and up to 24 in one upload: enough for a family’s whole set, italics included.

The list shows each family written in its own face, with its weights. Remove takes a family or one face away, after asking.

Drop the font files on the list, check each Family and Weight, tick the licence box and press Upload 2 fonts.

Use them

Open the font menu in the Typography section. Uploaded families are tagged Workspace, and the filter at the top has a Workspace entry listing only them. Pick one like any other font.

Fonts on your computer

In Chrome and Edge on a computer, the font menu offers Use the fonts on this computer. The browser asks your permission, then reads every installed font, which can take half a minute. They appear under On this computer; Look for new fonts reads them again after you install one.

A font from your computer stays on your computer. Anyone else opening the file, and anyone visiting an export, sees a stand-in unless they have it installed too.

When a font is missing

With nothing selected, the Design tab shows a Fonts card when the file uses fonts not everyone can see:

  • Not on this device: the text is shown in a stand-in, sized like the font where uxdeck knows its measurements.
  • Only on this computer: others see a stand-in until it is in the workspace.

If you can manage the workspace’s fonts, each one has Add from this computer (when it is installed here, in Chrome or Edge) and Upload…. Either adds it to the workspace, and everyone sees it at once. The same note shows under a selected text’s font, and the Publish dialog lists missing fonts under Typefaces before a site goes live.

Press Add from this computer, tick the licence box and upload: the font is in the workspace and the card goes.

Who can upload

In your Personal workspace, you. In a team, the owner or an admin: other members see the team’s fonts but cannot upload or remove them.

What each plan allows

What Free Pro
Font families per workspace 3 30

A team’s fonts count against its owner’s plan. When the workspace is full, the upload button is off until you remove a family.

Catches

  • Upload only fonts you hold a web licence for. Many desktop licences do not cover the web.
  • A font collection file (several fonts in one file) cannot be read. Upload the separate .otf, .ttf or .woff files.
  • Only workspace fonts travel. A published site and a downloaded site include your workspace’s fonts. A font that is only on your computer is left out (a downloaded site says where to put its files); upload it and export again.
  • Fonts belong to a workspace, not a file. A file in another workspace draws in that workspace’s fonts.
