Upgrade seamlessly - all fonts and settings are preserved!

Yes! SafeFonts hosts all fonts locally on your server at wp-content/uploads/safefonts/, so no data is sent to external services like Google Fonts. This makes it fully GDPR compliant.

WOFF2 is recommended for best compression and modern browser support. You can also upload WOFF as a fallback for older browsers.

There's no limit, but keep in mind that too many fonts can affect site performance. Only upload fonts you actually use.

SafeFonts Free works with Gutenberg and provides CSS variables that can be manually used with any builder or theme supporting CSS custom properties (like Builderius, Bricks, Oxygen, and others). Simply use var(--safefonts-font-slug) in typography fields or custom CSS.

For automatic integration where fonts appear directly in builder dropdowns (14 integrations including Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Divi, Oxygen, Brizy, and more), upgrade to SafeFonts Pro.

Fonts are stored in wp-content/uploads/safefonts/ directory and registered in the WordPress database. This location survives plugin updates and reinstallation.
