Playdate Font Workshop
Turn a TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 file into two bitmap-font files.
Built-in library
Or pick one that's ready
Choose a style here, then use one of its native sizes below—or try another size with generic bitmap scaling. Threshold and character settings don't apply to built-ins.
01
Settings
Generic resizing: this bitmap font has no outline data at that size, so pixels and spacing may render badly. Always test it on-device.
Advanced settings
Uses the soft edge pixels produced while rasterizing an uploaded TTF, OTF, or WOFF. Finished bitmap fonts have no threshold information to adjust.
Changes the outer edge of each bitmap glyph by one Playdate pixel. Thin strokes may disappear; always inspect the preview and test on-device.
Duplicates and line breaks are removed automatically.

Edit Spacing
Spacing desk
Tracking changes every gap. For a stubborn pair, enter two included characters and set its pixel offset.
Choose a font to see its 1-bit preview.
Inspect glyph sheet
The colored overlay shows glyph bounds and spacing. It is not included in the PNG.
