Does converting WOFF to TTF reduce quality?

Converting Web Open Font Format 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?

Converting from WOFF2/WOFF to TTF will result in a larger file size since TTF doesn't use compression. The file size will increase approximately 2-3x.

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 WOFF different from TTF?

Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is a web-optimized format with gzip compression. 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

Web Open Font Format

Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is specifically optimized for web use with built-in compression. It's supported by all modern browsers and is ideal for websites. WOFF files are typically 40% smaller than their TTF/OTF equivalents.

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 WOFF 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 WOFF to TTF

1Why convert WOFF back to TTF?

Main reasons: (1) Using fonts in desktop applications (Photoshop, Word, InDesign), (2) Font editing or modification, (3) Converting to other formats that need TTF as source, (4) Archiving in uncompressed format. WOFF is web-only; desktop software needs TTF.

2Will converting WOFF to TTF increase file size?

Yes, dramatically. A 60KB WOFF becomes approximately 100-150KB as TTF (40-60% larger) because you're removing gzip compression. This is expected – TTF is uncompressed, WOFF is compressed. The font data is identical.

3Does quality degrade when converting WOFF to TTF?

No, it's completely lossless. All glyphs, curves, hinting, kerning, and OpenType features are perfectly preserved. You're just removing compression – the actual font data is byte-for-byte identical to the original.

4Should I use converted TTF for web instead of WOFF?

Never! Keep WOFF for web use. TTF files are 40-60% larger, causing slower page loads. Convert to TTF only when you need desktop fonts. For web, always use WOFF or better yet, WOFF2.

5Can I edit fonts after converting WOFF to TTF?

Yes! That's a common use case. Font editing software (FontForge, Glyphs, FontLab) works with TTF/OTF, not WOFF. Convert WOFF to TTF, make your edits, then re-convert to WOFF/WOFF2 for web use.

6Will the converted TTF work on all platforms?

Yes. TTF has universal desktop support across Windows, macOS, and Linux. After converting from WOFF to TTF, you can install and use the font in any desktop application that supports TrueType fonts.

7Can I convert Google Fonts WOFF to TTF?

Yes, but you should download TTF versions directly from Google Fonts instead. Google provides TTF downloads for all fonts. No need to convert from WOFF unless TTF versions aren't available. Check the license before commercial use.

8Do variable fonts work after WOFF to TTF conversion?

Yes. If the WOFF was a variable font, all variation axes are preserved in TTF. However, ensure your desktop software supports variable fonts (Photoshop CC 2018+, Illustrator CC 2018+, etc.). Not all desktop apps handle variable fonts.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Solutions to problems you might encounter

File size increased significantly

This is expected. WOFF is compressed; TTF is uncompressed. A 60KB WOFF becomes approximately 100-150KB as TTF (40-60% larger). This is normal – you're removing compression. The font data is identical; only compression is removed.

Converted TTF has errors when opening

The WOFF file might be corrupted or use features that don't decompress cleanly. Try a different conversion tool. Verify the original WOFF works in browsers. Test with a known-good WOFF file to isolate the issue.

TTF doesn't work in font editing software

Some font editors are picky about font structure. Try re-saving the TTF using FontForge or FontLab to normalize the file structure. Alternatively, the WOFF might have had malformed tables that became apparent after decompression.

Missing glyphs or characters

Verify the original WOFF contains those characters. Use a browser font inspector or online tool to check WOFF contents before conversion. The conversion doesn't remove glyphs – if they're missing, they weren't in the source WOFF.

Should I use this TTF on my website?

No! Keep WOFF for web use. TTF files are 40-60% larger, causing slower page loads. Convert WOFF to TTF only when you need desktop fonts for applications. For web, WOFF or WOFF2 are always better choices.

When NOT to Use TTF

Scenarios where you should keep WOFF or choose a different format

Web deployment
Why not: TTF is 80-120% larger than WOFF; terrible for web performance
Use instead: Keep WOFF for web; only convert to TTF for desktop apps
You want smaller files
Why not: TTF is uncompressed; WOFF is 40-60% smaller with gzip
Use instead: Keep WOFF for web delivery; TTF only for desktop use
Email templates
Why not: Neither WOFF nor TTF work well in email clients
Use instead: Use system fonts for email; custom fonts have poor support
Font editing
Why not: While TTF can be edited, you should have the original source
Use instead: Request original TTF/OTF source from designer instead of converting
