Follow these simple steps for downloading and adding new subtitle and caption fonts to Adobe Premiere Pro
It’s odd to think about, but in many ways were are living in the golden age of font and digital typeface options. Not only do many of the most popular NLE video editing platforms have huge lists of fonts available, there are also tons and tons of font resources available online. Many of them are free as well as highly specific for all types of subtitle and caption needs.
As we’ve covered before, while there are plenty of great font options that are already in Adobe Premiere Pro, there are even more diverse, specialized and practical available online to download. The question then becomes: how do you find and import these subtitle and caption fonts into Premiere Pro?
Let’s go over some of the best online resources for finding these fonts, how to download, install and import them, as well as any troubleshooting this process may require.
How to Import Fonts in Adobe Premiere Pro
1. Find and Download Your Fonts
The first step is finding these new and desired fonts. Adobe’s built-in library should cover most of your basic font options, however if you’re looking for some more of the wilder and more charismatic subtitle and caption options, there are several great sites to check out. Here’s a short list:
Each of these sites should have hundreds, if not thousands, of fonts to browse through and choose from. Once you’ve found a good font, you should be able to purchase and download a font file, which will come in the form of a .zip file.
2. Install Your New Font
Once you have your font file, the process should be pretty simple. First, make sure all your Adobe apps are closed. Next unzip your font file and open it. From there, you should see either just one font, or several of the different types (i.e. bold, italics, bold-italics, etc…). Open each individual font type and click “install font”.
Here are more specific instructions for both Mac and PC.

Double-click to open each of the fonts individually, which will bring up your Mac’s Font Book. From there, you just need to click the “Install Font” button.
And viola! Your font will be added to your User Profile’s Font Book. Once you’ve restarted Adobe Premiere Pro, it should be included in your font options when working with text for subtitles or captions.
