The recurring “what font is this” problem
A client hands over a PSD, the designer who made it is long gone, and the first question is which fonts you need before anything renders correctly. Photoshop answers it only if you own Photoshop, and missing-font warnings there are famously unhelpful, showing one missing font at a time.
This tool reads the PSD’s text-layer metadata directly: every family, the sizes it’s used at, the fill colors, and a text sample so you can locate the layer. Copy the list, license the fonts, move on.
What the PSD actually stores
Live text layers store the font name and typography settings, not the font file. That has two practical consequences. First, you can always recover the font list from a layered PSD, which is what this page does. Second, once someone rasterizes the text (or flattens the file), that information is gone for good. The only fix then is visual font identification from the pixels.
After the font list
Free families ship on Google Fonts; commercial ones need a license from their foundry. If the goal is editing the design rather than rebuilding it, the PSD to JSON converter turns the file into an editable design where you can substitute fonts directly.
