Does converting EOT to TTF reduce quality?

Converting Embedded OpenType to TrueType Font preserves all font data including outlines, glyphs, and metrics. The conversion maintains the integrity of your font while adapting it for the target format.

What file size reduction should I expect?

File size changes depend on the specific conversion from Embedded OpenType to TrueType Font. TRUETYPE FONT files may be larger or smaller depending on the format's structure and metadata.

Do TTF fonts work in all browsers?

TTF fonts are universally supported across all platforms, browsers, and desktop applications.

Will my font's OpenType features work after conversion?

Yes, all OpenType features are preserved during conversion. 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 for one format doesn't automatically grant web usage rights. Always check your license agreement or contact the foundry.

How is EOT different from TTF?

Embedded OpenType (EOT) is a font format with specific use cases. TrueType Font (TTF) is a universally compatible format. Choose based on your target platform and requirements.

What's the best format for my use case?

For web use, convert to WOFF2 or WOFF instead. For desktop applications or print, TTF may be appropriate. Always check the requirements of your target platform.

Can I convert variable fonts?

Yes, variable fonts can be converted between formats while preserving all variation axes and design space. The conversion maintains the font's interpolation capabilities. Ensure your target browsers support variable fonts (Chrome 62+, Firefox 62+, Safari 11+).

About This Conversion

Everything you need to know about converting between these formats

Source Format

Embedded OpenType

Embedded OpenType (EOT) is a Microsoft format primarily used for older Internet Explorer browsers (IE6-IE8). It includes DRM features but is largely obsolete with modern browsers supporting WOFF/WOFF2.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about converting EOT to TTF

1Why would I convert EOT to TTF?

To use EOT fonts in desktop applications or to modernize legacy web fonts. EOT only works in IE6-11; TTF works everywhere. If you have old EOT files from legacy projects, convert to TTF for desktop use or to WOFF2/WOFF for modern web deployment.

2Will converting EOT to TTF improve compatibility?

Massively. EOT only works in Internet Explorer. TTF works on all operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and all desktop applications. It also converts more easily to modern web formats (WOFF2/WOFF). EOT to TTF is always an upgrade.

3Does quality degrade converting EOT to TTF?

No, the font data is preserved. However, EOT may have DRM restrictions that prevent conversion. If conversion succeeds, all glyphs, curves, and basic OpenType features are preserved. Advanced features may be limited if the original EOT had poor feature support.

4Can I use converted TTF on websites?

Don't use TTF directly on websites – it's uncompressed. After converting EOT to TTF, convert the TTF to WOFF2 for modern web use. This gives you better compression (60-70% smaller) and modern browser support.

5Will I lose OpenType features?

You might not have had them to begin with. EOT has limited OpenType support, especially in older versions. The conversion preserves whatever features the EOT had, but EOT itself is a feature-limited format. TTF can hold full OpenType data if it was in the source.

6How much larger is TTF than EOT?

TTF is typically 20-40% larger because EOT uses LZ compression. A 100KB EOT becomes approximately 120-140KB as TTF. However, TTF is still 40-60% smaller than uncompressed fonts and converts efficiently to WOFF2 (60-70% compression).

7Should I convert my old EOT files to modern formats?

Yes! Convert EOT → TTF → WOFF2/WOFF. This modernizes your font stack: WOFF2 for modern browsers (95%+ coverage), WOFF for IE9-11 fallback. Discard the original EOT unless you must support IE6-8 (under 0.01% of traffic).

8Can I convert EOT fonts back to their original format?

EOT is a derivative format, not the source. Converting EOT to TTF gets you a usable desktop/source font, but it's not "original" – it's extracted from EOT. For best results, try to locate the original TTF or OTF source files if possible.

Implementation Examples

Production-ready code for your converted fonts

Legacy EOT to Modern TTF

Modernize old IE fonts for desktop use

/* After converting EOT to TTF:
   * 
   * Desktop Installation:
   * - Install TTF on Windows/Mac/Linux
   * - Use in all desktop applications
   *
   * For web, also create WOFF2/WOFF:
   * @font-face {
   *   font-family: 'Legacy Font';
   *   src: url('legacy.woff2') format('woff2'),
   *        url('legacy.woff') format('woff');
   *   font-display: swap;
   * }
   *
   * Skip EOT unless you need IE8:
   * Only 0.01% of users still use IE6-8
   * Modern browsers use WOFF2/WOFF

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Solutions to problems you might encounter

Conversion fails with DRM error

Some EOT files have DRM/license protection that prevents conversion. This is Microsoft's font protection system. Check if the original font license allows conversion. Commercial fonts often prohibit extracting TTF from EOT without proper licensing.

Converted TTF has missing glyphs

Verify the original EOT contains those characters. EOT may have limited character sets, especially for older fonts. Use a font inspector to check EOT contents before conversion. If glyphs are missing, they weren't in the source.

OpenType features don't work in converted TTF

EOT has limited OpenType support. Advanced features may not have been properly embedded in the original EOT. After conversion to TTF, you can add OpenType features using font editing software (FontForge, Glyphs, FontLab).

File size larger than expected

EOT uses LZ compression; TTF is uncompressed. A 100KB EOT becomes approximately 120-140KB as TTF (20-40% larger). This is normal. For web use, convert the TTF to WOFF2 for better compression (60-70% smaller than TTF).

TTF doesn't work in font editing software

The converted TTF might have malformed tables from the EOT decompression. Try re-saving the TTF using FontForge or FontLab to normalize the file structure. Alternatively, try a different EOT to TTF converter.

When NOT to Use TTF

Scenarios where you should keep EOT or choose a different format

Web deployment
Why not: TTF larger than modern web formats (WOFF2/WOFF)
Use instead: For web: convert EOT to WOFF2 + WOFF, not TTF
DRM-protected fonts
Why not: Some EOT files have DRM that prevents extraction
Use instead: Check font license; commercial fonts may require web license
You want to keep IE support
Why not: TTF doesn't work in IE6-8; EOT does
Use instead: Keep EOT for IE6-8 if needed, but add WOFF2/WOFF for modern
