Does converting WOFF2 to TTF reduce quality?

Converting Web Open Font Format 2 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 WOFF2 different from TTF?

Web Open Font Format 2 (WOFF2) is a web format with superior Brotli 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 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.

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 WOFF2 to TTF?

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about converting WOFF2 to TTF

1Why would I convert WOFF2 back to TTF?

Main reasons: (1) Using fonts in desktop applications (Photoshop, Word), (2) Font editing/modification, (3) Analyzing font data with font tools, (4) Converting to other formats that require TTF as source. WOFF2 only works on web, not in desktop software.

2Does WOFF2 to TTF conversion increase file size?

Yes, dramatically. A 50KB WOFF2 becomes approximately 120-150KB as TTF (60-70% larger) because you're removing Brotli compression. This is expected – TTF is uncompressed, WOFF2 is heavily compressed.

3Will I lose quality converting WOFF2 to TTF?

No, conversion is lossless. All glyphs, curves, hinting, kerning, and OpenType features are perfectly preserved. The font data is identical – only the compression is removed, which increases file size but doesn't affect quality.

4Can I edit fonts after converting WOFF2 to TTF?

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

5Does the converted TTF work on all platforms?

Yes, TTF has universal desktop support across Windows, macOS, and Linux. After converting from WOFF2 to TTF, you can install and use the font in any desktop application that supports TrueType fonts.

6Should I use converted TTF for web instead of WOFF2?

Not recommended for web use. TTF files are 2-3x larger than WOFF2, which can slow page loads. Always use WOFF2 (or WOFF for IE11 support) for web deployment. TTF is best suited for desktop applications.

7Can I convert Google Fonts WOFF2 to TTF?

Technically yes, but you should download the TTF versions directly from Google Fonts instead. Google provides TTF downloads for all their fonts – no need to convert from WOFF2. Check the license before using commercially.

8Will variable font axes work after WOFF2 to TTF conversion?

Yes, if the original WOFF2 was a variable font, all variation axes are preserved in the converted TTF. However, ensure your desktop software supports variable fonts (Photoshop CC 2018+, Illustrator CC 2018+, etc.).

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Solutions to problems you might encounter

File size increased massively

This is expected. WOFF2 is heavily compressed (Brotli); TTF is uncompressed. A 50KB WOFF2 becomes approximately 120-150KB as TTF (60-70% larger). This is normal – you're removing compression. For web, keep WOFF2; only convert to TTF for desktop use.

Converted TTF has errors

The WOFF2 file might be corrupted or use advanced features that don't decompress cleanly. Try a different conversion tool. Verify the original WOFF2 works in browsers. Test with a known-good WOFF2 file to isolate the issue.

Variable font lost variation axes

Ensure your converter supports variable fonts. Check if the original WOFF2 is truly a variable font using a browser inspector. Variable fonts require special handling during decompression. Not all converters preserve variable font data properly.

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. Alternatively, the WOFF2 might have had malformed tables that became apparent after decompression.

Should I use this TTF on my website?

No! Never. Keep WOFF2 for web use. TTF files are 2-3x larger, causing slow page loads and poor Core Web Vitals. Convert WOFF2 to TTF only when you need desktop fonts for applications. For web, WOFF2 is always better.

When NOT to Use TTF

Scenarios where you should keep WOFF2 or choose a different format

Web deployment
Why not: TTF is 150-200% larger than WOFF2; terrible for web
Use instead: Keep WOFF2 for web; only convert to TTF for desktop apps
File size priority
Why not: TTF is 2-3x larger than WOFF2 with Brotli compression
Use instead: Keep WOFF2 for web; TTF only for desktop use
Mobile performance
Why not: Large TTF files destroy mobile performance vs tiny WOFF2
Use instead: Keep WOFF2 for web; only use TTF for desktop applications
Core Web Vitals
Why not: Large TTF files hurt LCP and page speed scores
Use instead: Keep WOFF2 for optimal web performance
