FontReady

Publish your custom fonts to Elementor Pro from FontReady.

Upload your font at FontReady, convert it, and publish the generated files to your WordPress website. FontReady adds them to Elementor Pro Custom Fonts, ready to select in the Elementor editor.

No FontReady account is required. Approve the connection using your WordPress administrator account, without copying or pasting connection keys.

From font file to Elementor

1. Upload a TTF, OTF, WOFF or WOFF2 font to FontReady.
2. Preview the converted font and choose Publish to Elementor Pro.
3. Enter your website URL and approve the connection in WordPress.
4. Open Elementor Custom Fonts to find your font family and variants.

What you can do

• Publish WOFF2, WOFF, TTF, SVG and EOT files together.
• Organize matching font weights and styles under one family.
• View installed font families, variants and available formats in the FontReady dashboard.
• Keep installed font files hosted on your own WordPress website.
• Revoke publishing access from the plugin dashboard.

What you need

• WordPress 6.2 or later and PHP 7.4 or later.
• Active Elementor Pro.
• An HTTPS website and access to a WordPress administrator account.
• Fonts you have permission to embed on your website.

Font conversion uses the external FontReady service. Please read the External service and privacy section below before connecting.

FontReady is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Elementor.

External service and privacy

Font conversion requires the FontReady service. Read https://fontready.com/terms/ for service terms and https://fontready.com/privacy/ for conversion storage, statistics, website analytics and connection details before using the service.

The plugin makes no automatic outbound requests or telemetry on activation. On explicitly connecting, the browser shares your confirmed domain, installed font totals and successful installation reports with FontReady. Conversion dates, family names, variant counts and output formats are retained separately from expiring uploaded files for usage statistics.

The authentication credential is handled automatically, stored in browser tab session storage, and sent directly to WordPress. FontReady’s server never receives it. WordPress stores its SHA-256 hash, authorizing administrator and expiry. A connection lasts seven days and can be revoked in the dashboard. A new connection revokes the previous one. Connect again if you close the tab or the session expires.

Fonts are sent directly from your browser to WordPress, never to Elementor’s servers. Your fonts remain after the FontReady kit expires. Deactivation revokes access and stops legacy FontReady-group font loading. Native Elementor font records and their media assets are retained for Elementor to manage. Uninstalling keeps those files and registry to preserve your website assets; remove them manually only when they are no longer in use.

Limits and troubleshooting

The Elementor page accepts one uploaded font at a time. Ready kits may contain up to 10 variants, 5 MB per generated file and 25 MB total. All five output formats are installed together. Variable WOFF/WOFF2 ranges are preserved; legacy outline conversion may use a default static instance. Identical retries do not duplicate files. Matching family, weight and style replaces the existing variant.

HTTPS, REST API access and forwarding of the Authorization header are required. Server rules must allow OPTIONS, GET and POST to the FontReady REST routes. CORS allows only https://fontready.com. Both pretty and query-style WordPress REST routes work. Uploads use 128 KiB pieces in JSON requests smaller than 256 KiB. WordPress needs a writable private system temporary directory and enough PHP memory and temporary disk space to validate a complete package of up to 36 MB.

If an installation response is lost, check the installed count before retrying. Clear page caches and refresh Elementor after installing. If a terminated PHP process leaves a write lock, deactivate and reactivate the plugin when no imports are running.

1. Install FontReady from Plugins → Add New, or upload the plugin ZIP, then activate it.
2. Make sure Elementor Pro is installed and active, and your website uses HTTPS.
3. Visit FontReady for Elementor Pro and upload a font.
4. Choose Publish to Elementor Pro, enter your website URL, and follow the connection prompts.
5. Sign in to WordPress as an administrator and approve the connection. Publishing resumes when you return to FontReady.
6. Open Elementor → Custom Fonts to check your font. Refresh an open Elementor editor before selecting it.

Download kits expire 24 minutes after conversion. If setup takes longer, convert the font again.
