Does converting SVG to WOFF2 reduce quality?

No, converting SVG to WOFF2 does not reduce quality. WOFF2 uses lossless compression, meaning the font outlines, glyphs, and visual appearance remain identical to the original. Only the file size changes.

What file size reduction should I expect?

You can expect a file size reduction of 50-70% when converting SVG to WOFF2. For example, a 150KB SVG FONT file typically compresses to around 45-75KB as WOFF2 due to Brotli compression.

Do WOFF2 fonts work in all browsers?

WOFF2 works in all modern browsers: Chrome 36+, Firefox 62+, Safari 11.1+, and Edge (all versions). It's not supported in IE11 or older browsers.

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 SVG different from WOFF2?

SVG Font (SVG) is a font format with specific use cases. Web Open Font Format 2 (WOFF2) is the most efficient web format with Brotli compression. Choose based on your target platform and requirements.

What's the best format for my use case?

For modern websites, use WOFF2 as your primary format. Provide WOFF as a fallback for older browsers. For desktop applications, consider TTF or OTF.

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

SVG Font

SVG Fonts are defined using Scalable Vector Graphics markup and can be styled with CSS. They were primarily used for older mobile browsers but are now deprecated in favor of WOFF/WOFF2 for better performance.

Target Format

Web Open Font Format 2

WOFF2 is an improved version of WOFF with better Brotli compression, resulting in 30% smaller file sizes than WOFF. It's the preferred format for modern web applications and provides faster page load times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about converting SVG to WOFF2

1Why convert SVG to WOFF2?

To create modern, highly-compressed web fonts from vector graphics. Common uses: custom icon fonts, hand-drawn letterforms, logo fonts. WOFF2 provides the best compression (60-70% smaller than TTF) and works in all modern browsers.

2What's the workflow for SVG to WOFF2?

Typical process: SVG paths → Compile to TTF (using font creation tool) → Convert TTF to WOFF2. Most converters can't go directly SVG → WOFF2; you need the intermediate TTF step to create the font structure and metrics.

3Can I create custom web fonts from SVG drawings?

Absolutely! Draw letters in vector software → Export as SVG → Use font creation tool (FontForge, Glyphs, IcoMoon) → Compile to TTF → Convert to WOFF2. This creates professional custom fonts from your artwork.

4Do I need to provide WOFF fallback with WOFF2?

Yes, for IE11 support. WOFF2 works in 95%+ of browsers but not IE11. Best practice: Provide WOFF2 (primary) + WOFF (IE9-11 fallback). This covers 99.9% of users with optimal compression.

5How do I set up character mapping for SVG to WOFF2?

In your font creation tool (before WOFF2 conversion), map each SVG to a Unicode character. For letters: map to A-Z. For icons: map to Private Use Area (E000-F8FF). The mapping stays intact through TTF → WOFF2 conversion.

6Will WOFF2 compress my SVG designs smaller?

Yes, dramatically. Individual SVG files might be 1-5KB each. Combined into WOFF2, the entire font (all glyphs) might be 20-50KB. Brotli compression (WOFF2) is extremely efficient for vector path data.

7Can I use converted WOFF2 in desktop applications?

No, WOFF2 is web-only. For desktop use, keep the intermediate TTF file. For web, use WOFF2. Separate files for separate purposes: TTF (desktop), WOFF2 (web), WOFF (IE11 fallback).

8Does WOFF2 preserve SVG vector quality?

Perfectly. SVG → TTF → WOFF2 conversion is mathematically lossless. The vector outlines are compiled and compressed but remain identical in shape. WOFF2 only affects file size, not visual quality.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Solutions to problems you might encounter

Direct conversion not available

Workflow: SVG → TTF (using font creation tool like FontForge, Glyphs, IcoMoon) → WOFF2 (compression). Most converters need the intermediate TTF step. This is normal for SVG to web font conversion.

Character mapping required

SVG paths need Unicode character assignments. In your font creation tool, map each SVG to a Unicode value. For icon fonts: Use Private Use Area (U+E000-F8FF). For alphabets: Use standard Unicode (U+0041 for A, etc.).

Should I provide WOFF fallback?

Yes, for IE11 support. WOFF2 works in 95%+ of browsers but not IE11. After creating WOFF2 from your TTF, also create WOFF. Provide both in @font-face: WOFF2 first (modern), WOFF second (IE9-11 fallback).

Font has no spacing/kerning

SVG provides shapes only, no font metrics. You must manually define character widths, sidebearings, kerning pairs, and line height in your font creation software. This is time-consuming but essential for usable fonts.

Icon font is too large

Complex SVG paths create large fonts. Simplify paths in Illustrator/Inkscape before importing. Remove unnecessary anchor points. Also, only include icons you actually use – subset the font to remove unused glyphs (can save 70-90% file size).

When NOT to Use WOFF2

Scenarios where you should keep SVG or choose a different format

Must support IE11
Why not: WOFF2 doesn't work in IE11; need WOFF fallback
Use instead: Create both WOFF2 + WOFF from SVG for full coverage
Icon accessibility priority
Why not: Icon fonts less accessible than inline SVG with proper labels
Use instead: Use inline SVG with aria-labels for accessibility
Multi-color icons needed
Why not: Fonts are monochrome; can't do multi-color
Use instead: Use inline SVG to preserve colors and effects
