Custom fonts

Apr 24, 2017

Custom fonts can be installed easily by uploading ttf and otf files as authenticated raw files to Cloudinary:

Copy to clipboard
Cloudinary::Uploader.upload(
  "AlexBrush-Regular.ttf",
  resource_type: 'raw', type: 'authenticated',
  public_id: 'AlexBrush-Regular.ttf')

Use your font for a text overlay by specifying the public ID of the authenticated raw font file instead of a regular font family:

Copy to clipboard
l_text:<font_file.ttf>_<size>:<text>


For example: l_text:AlexBrush-Regular.ttf_90:Hello


Copy to clipboard
https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/o_70,w_700/l_text:AlexBrush-Regular.ttf_80:Double Rainbow!,co_deeppink/double_rainbow.jpg
