Is Photoshop’s Match Font Engine Available Through UXP, ExtendScript, Action Manager, CEP, or an Adobe Cloud Service? Is There an Adobe Fonts API?

Photoshop UXP Plugin API

I am exploring the possibility of developing a panel for After Effects 2025 that works similarly to Photoshop’s Match Font feature.

The intended workflow would be:

  1. The user selects or imports a screenshot containing text.
  2. The panel analyzes the letterforms in the image.
  3. It searches for visually similar fonts.
  4. It displays the closest matches and allows the user to apply or activate the selected font in After Effects.

A local solution could compare the image only against fonts already installed or activated on the user’s system. However, I would also like to search the Adobe Fonts catalog, including fonts that have not yet been activated.

I would like to know:

  • Is Photoshop’s Match Font engine accessible through UXP, ExtendScript, Action Manager, CEP, or any Adobe cloud service?
  • Can Match Font results be retrieved programmatically?
  • Is there a public or partner API for searching the Adobe Fonts catalog?
  • Is there an API for generating font previews using custom text?
  • Can a plugin activate an Adobe Font through the user’s Creative Cloud account?
  • Is there an official deep link or workflow for opening and activating a specific Adobe Fonts family?

Any documentation, examples, previous experiments, or information about current limitations would be greatly appreciated.
