WOFF2 to TTF

WOFF2 files cannot be installed as system fonts. Decompress them to TTF for Word, Figma, Photoshop or Windows — for fonts you have the licence to use.

Why convert WOFF2 to TTF

Web font packages, self-hosted font kits and some open-source projects only ship WOFF2. Design work and desktop apps need TTF or OTF; the WOFF2 container is just a compressed wrapper around exactly that.

Decompression is lossless and runs in your browser. The output is the original TrueType or CFF font with its full glyph set — unless the web font was subsetted, in which case only the included characters exist.

How it works

  1. Drop WOFF2, WOFF files onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Check the file list; remove anything you added by mistake.
  3. Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
  4. Download the TTF — individually or all at once.

About the formats

WOFF2 · Web Open Font Format 2.0 · .woff2

The modern web font format: Brotli-compressed TTF/OTF, supported by all current browsers and recommended by Google Fonts.

  • WOFF2 is typically 30 % smaller than WOFF and 50–70 % smaller than TTF.
  • All browsers since 2016 (Chrome 36, Firefox 39, Safari 10, Edge 14) support WOFF2.
  • WOFF2 cannot be installed as a desktop font; convert to TTF for that.

WOFF · Web Open Font Format 1.0 · .woff

The first web font container (2009): a compressed wrapper around TTF/OTF supported by every browser including Internet Explorer 9.

  • WOFF uses zlib compression, roughly 40 % smaller than raw TTF.
  • WOFF2 replaced it with Brotli compression and is about 30 % smaller again.
  • Desktop apps cannot install WOFF directly; it must be converted back to TTF or OTF.

TTF · TrueType font · .ttf

The desktop font format from Apple and Microsoft, installed on every computer; large and uncompressed for web use.

  • TTF glyphs are quadratic Bézier outlines; OTF may use cubic (PostScript) outlines instead.
  • A full TTF with many scripts can be several megabytes; WOFF2 subsets shrink it to tens of kilobytes.
  • Browsers can load TTF directly, but WOFF2 downloads 30–50 % faster.
