If you have the images already saved with suitable file names, just [Drag and Drop](http://www.softerviews.org/FontCreator.html#Drag_and_Drop) them all at once into FontCreator. PDF or AI files will be very much faster. Bitmaps should be big enough to give a good trace, but bigger images will be slower, of course.

[Size Does Matter](https://forum.high-logic.com/t/import-images-the-right-way-size-does-matter/1476/1) Do some thorough testing with the import threshold settings and decide how big the images need to be to get a smooth trace. Don’t bother creating hundreds or thousands of images that are next to useless for the required task.

Otherwise, try the method described in this tutorial.
