What formats can I convert to TTF?

You can convert from any major font format including TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2, EOT, SVG, DFont, and PFB to TTF. Our converter automatically detects the source format.

Is TTF the best format for my use case?

TrueType Font (TTF) is universally compatible across all platforms and applications. Choose the format that best matches your target platform and requirements.

Will conversion affect font quality?

The conversion preserves all font data including outlines, glyphs, and metrics. For WOFF/WOFF2, lossless compression is used.

Can I convert multiple fonts at once?

Yes, use our batch conversion feature to upload multiple font files and convert them all to your target format simultaneously. You can also export to multiple formats at once.

What CSS code will I get?

We automatically generate @font-face CSS code for your TTF files. This includes proper format declarations and fallbacks for optimal browser support.

Will my font's OpenType features work after conversion?

Yes, all OpenType features are preserved during conversion to TTF. This includes ligatures, kerning pairs, alternate glyphs, small caps, and other advanced typography features. The conversion process adapts the container format while preserving all font data.

Can I convert commercial/licensed fonts?

You can convert commercial fonts for testing purposes, but you must purchase the appropriate web font license before using them on a live website. Font licenses are format-specific – a desktop license doesn't automatically grant web usage rights. Always check your license agreement or contact the foundry.

About TrueType Font

Everything you need to know about TTF fonts

Target Format

TrueType Font

TrueType Font (TTF) is a widely-used font format developed by Apple and Microsoft. It's supported across all major operating systems and is commonly used for desktop applications. TTF files contain both the font outline data and bitmap data.

Why Convert to TTF?

Using fonts in desktop applications and software

Ensuring compatibility across Windows, Mac, and Linux

Preparing fonts for mobile app development

Creating font files for print and publishing workflows

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about converting to TTF

1Does converting your font to your font reduce quality?

No. If the OTF uses TrueType outlines, conversion to TTF is lossless – quality is identical. If the OTF uses PostScript (CFF) outlines, they convert to TrueType outlines. This conversion is mathematically lossless; visual quality remains pixel-perfect identical.

2Why would I convert your font to your font?

Main reasons: (1) Software that only accepts TTF, (2) Older systems with limited OTF support, (3) Reducing file size (TTF is 10-30% smaller than OTF with TrueType outlines), (4) Maximum compatibility across all platforms and applications.

3Will I lose OpenType features?

No, all OpenType features are preserved. TTF fully supports OpenType features – ligatures, kerning, stylistic alternates, small caps, etc. The name "TrueType" vs "OpenType" is misleading; both support the same advanced typography.

4Does your font work everywhere your font works?

Yes, and more. TTF has broader compatibility, especially on older systems. Some older software only accepts TTF. Modern systems handle both equally, but TTF is the safer choice for maximum compatibility.

5Will your font files be smaller than your font?

Yes, typically 10-30% smaller. OTF has metadata overhead that TTF doesn't carry. For a 200KB OTF, expect around 140-180KB as TTF. For web use, convert to WOFF2 instead (60-70% smaller than either).

6Should I convert my your font library to your font?

Only if you need broader compatibility. If your current workflow uses OTF without issues, no need to convert. However, TTF is more universally supported and creates smaller files, so conversion can be beneficial for archiving or distribution.

File Size Examples

See how file sizes change when converting to TTF

Original	Converted (TTF)	Change	Notes
180 KB (OTF)	150 KB (TTF)	-17% smaller	Removing OTF metadata overhead
350 KB (OTF)	280 KB (TTF)	-20% smaller	TTF more efficient container
100 KB (OTF)	85 KB (TTF)	-15% smaller	Consistent reduction across sizes
700 KB (OTF)	550 KB (TTF)	-21% smaller	Large fonts benefit from TTF efficiency

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Solutions to problems when converting to TTF

PostScript curves look different

If your OTF uses PostScript (CFF) outlines, they're converted to TrueType format. This is mathematically lossless – visual appearance is identical at all sizes. Only the underlying curve representation changes (cubic to quadratic Bézier). Rendering is pixel-perfect identical.

File size reduction less than expected

OTF to TTF typically reduces size by 10-30%. If you see less reduction, the OTF might already be using TrueType outlines (not PostScript). Check the original OTF structure. Regardless, TTF is still more compatible than OTF.

OpenType features not working after conversion

Verify the original OTF actually had those features using a font inspector. TTF fully supports OpenType features. If features are missing, the conversion tool might not have preserved feature tables properly. Try a different converter or font editing software.

Converted TTF doesn't work in specific software

Some very old software only accepts basic TTF structure. Try re-saving the TTF in font editing software with "maximum compatibility" settings. Alternatively, the software might be too old – check if there's an updated version available.

Hinting looks wrong after conversion

PostScript and TrueType use different hinting systems. If the OTF had PostScript hints, they need to be converted or regenerated for TrueType. Use font editing software (FontLab, FontForge) to re-hint the converted TTF for better rendering at small sizes.

When NOT to Use TTF

Scenarios where TTF might not be the best choice

You want to preserve PostScript curves
Why not: If your OTF uses PostScript (CFF) outlines, they'll convert to TrueType curves
Use instead: Keep OTF if PostScript curve preservation is important for your workflow
Working with Adobe fonts
Why not: Some Adobe Creative Cloud fonts are licensed as OTF only
Use instead: Check license before converting; keep OTF if license restricts format changes
Pro typography workflow
Why not: Some designers prefer OTF for high-end typography work (though TTF is equally capable)
Use instead: Keep OTF if your workflow or client specifically requires it
Web deployment
Why not: Neither OTF nor TTF are optimized for web - both are uncompressed
Use instead: Convert to WOFF2 for web; keep OTF/TTF for desktop only
