Short answer: In recent CapCut versions, open Text, then the font list, and use its import (upload) option to pick the .ttf. If your version has no import, add your text as a PNG overlay instead.
On your phone
- Download the font from the generator and extract the ZIP in your Files app.
- In CapCut, tap Text, then Add text, and open the font list.
- Look for the import or upload option in the font list, often marked with an upload icon or an Imported section, and pick the .ttf.
Font import has rolled out to CapCut gradually and isn't in every version or region. If you don't see it, update CapCut, or use the PNG route below.
On a computer
Install the font on your computer first: on Windows, right-click the .ttf and choose Install; on a Mac, double-click it and choose Install Font. Restart CapCut, then look for the font in the text font list, or use the font list's import option if it has one.
Adding a PNG as an overlay
Download your styled text as a PNG from the generator, then in CapCut use Overlay, then Add overlay, and pick the PNG from your gallery. Resize and place it like any clip.
The shortcut: use a PNG instead of the font
If CapCut won't import the font, or Hindi, Bangla, Tamil or Urdu letters break apart in it, skip the font entirely. Type your text in the generator, pick a font and style, and press PNG. You get your text with its outline and shadow on a transparent background, already shaped correctly, which you can place on your thumbnail like any image.
