Convert TTF to WOFF2 Online

How to convert TTF to WOFF2

1. 1

   Upload TTF files

   Add one or more TrueType fonts to the queue. The source font is read by fontTools on the server.

2. 2

   Generate WOFF2

   Run the conversion. The same outlines and metrics are placed in a Brotli-compressed WOFF2 container.

3. 3

   Test in the browser

   Add the WOFF2 to @font-face, check the license, and verify the font in the browsers you support.

TrueType font vs Web Open Font Format 2

Why convert TTF to WOFF2?

• Reduce font download size for a website without changing the typeface design.
• Serve a format accepted by every current major browser for @font-face.
• Replace a heavy TTF with a compressed WOFF2 asset while keeping your fallback stack.
• Prepare a webfont package for a site that already uses modern browser support.

Will quality change?

WOFF2 is a compressed container for the same font outlines, so the letterforms should not be redesigned. The conversion is intended to preserve glyph shapes and metrics while reducing transfer size. Review unusual fonts with custom tables or variable axes, and check the font license before serving it on the web.

Processing and limits

Processing

Server-side

Engine

fontTools with Brotli WOFF2 compression

Maximum size

100 MB per font file.

Batch support

Yes, multiple TTF files can be queued.

Quality controls

No visual quality slider. The conversion preserves the font's design rather than resampling it.

The TTF is uploaded over HTTPS and passed to fontTools on the server. The output is a WOFF2 webfont with the same outline data compressed for web delivery. Temporary files are removed after conversion.

• WOFF2 is primarily for web delivery; some desktop font managers cannot install it directly.
• Licensing is unchanged. A font that does not allow web embedding still does not allow it after conversion.
• Very large or unusual fonts with custom tables may need validation in the target browser.

Platform compatibility

WOFF2 is supported by all current major browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Desktop design apps may prefer TTF or OTF, so keep the original for editing and use WOFF2 for the website.

When not to convert

• Keep the TTF when a desktop application or print workflow needs an installable font.
• Do not convert a font for web use unless its license permits web embedding.
• If you need only a subset of glyphs, use a dedicated subsetting step rather than shipping the entire font.

Frequently asked questions

Does TTF to WOFF2 change the font design?

The conversion is intended to preserve the outlines and metrics while compressing the container. It is not a redesign, but unusual custom tables should be tested in the target browser.

Is WOFF2 smaller than TTF?

Usually yes. WOFF2 uses Brotli compression and is designed for efficient web font delivery, though the final size depends on the font and its glyph count.

Can I install WOFF2 on my desktop?

WOFF2 is primarily a web format. Some desktop font managers support it, but many design and print workflows expect TTF or OTF. Keep the original for editing.

Do I need a license to use the WOFF2 on a website?

Yes. Converting the container does not change the font license. Check that the license permits web embedding before serving the WOFF2.

Can I batch convert TTF fonts?

Yes. Queue multiple TTF files and download the WOFF2 outputs together as a ZIP.

Is the TTF uploaded to a server?

Yes. The fontTools conversion runs on the server. The file is sent over HTTPS and temporary working files are removed after the request.
