Today we’re unveiling fonts you’ve never seen before, because a machine created them. Fonts are one of the most popular tools on Picsart, applied to millions of images every month. And, if you’ve been following Picsart for a while, you know we’re on a mission to bring you the best creative tools for all your design needs. This is why we ramped up our AI efforts in the last year with the formation of Picsart AI Research (PAIR), the team who brought you the one tap Remove Background tool. And today we’re proud to unveil: AI fonts!
What started as a Picsart Hackathon project in 2021 has since developed into our first collection of AI-generated fonts. Picsart Gold users can already access over 30 AI-generated fonts on both the app and web platforms, and we’re adding new fonts monthly.
How Does It Work?
Our PAIR team develops new AI fonts by training models with a large dataset of fonts. This allows them to create glyphs – letters, symbols and numbers – from the provided input, like a font related keyword or tag. The AI font technology creates thousands of glyphs, and filters these results based on quality and similarity thresholds. It then converts the glyphs that passed a quality and similarity check to a vectorized image and creates a font file in the most common font file types: .TTF or .OTF.
In super simple terms, we’ve input a large number of fonts into a machine. The machine learns what letters, symbols and numbers look like. We can then input keywords based on the fonts we’ve fed to the machine that tell it what kind of new font we want to generate. From there, AI tech creates a brand new, never before seen font. This means the potential for font creation is endless, which is why we’ll be bringing you new fonts every month!
What Does This Mean for Creators?
You’ll start to see new fonts added to the Picsart font library regularly. Look out for fonts containing “AI Lab” in their name to spot a font created by our AI. We’re also working toward advancing our technology even further. Stay tuned for more here.
