Add custom fonts to your Drive from Google Fonts or by uploading your own font files (.ttf, .otf, .woff). Once added, all Drive members can use these fonts in captions, text clips, and layout packs.

Custom fonts are added at the Drive level. If you work across multiple Drives, you'll need to add fonts to each one separately.

Business and Enterprise users can also organize custom fonts in Brand Studio. Learn more about Brand Studio.
