NiRF is a script, like sIFR, that allows you to use custom fonts on your website. It dynamically replaces text you identify with an image, rather than using non-browser-native objects like flash. NiRF reads all the information it needs from the CSS applied to your elements. Also, your text is still present so you won’t lose your hard-earned SEO. Best of all, it’s FREE!

There are two ways to use NiRF on your website. You can either use our servers or install the open source version on yours. The open source version has 2 sub versions NiRF.NET and PHP-NiRF.

Why us?

If you do not have the ability to install code on your server or just want a quick and easy solution, our service is incredibly simple to set up. Just create an account and include the single JavaScript file in your website. NiRF will inject a custom rendered font into each element on your page with a specified trigger class name. Choose from thousands of free fonts already on our server.
