Three of them are the <em>same font data<\/em> packaged for different jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>TTF (TrueType)<\/strong> and <strong>OTF (OpenType)<\/strong> are <strong>desktop font files<\/strong>. TrueType came from Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s; OpenType (Adobe + Microsoft) extended it with PostScript\/CFF outlines and advanced typographic features. Both are built on the table-based <code>sfnt<\/code> structure, and both are meant to be <em>installed on an operating system<\/em> \u2014 so they\u2019re stored <strong>uncompressed<\/strong>, optimized for a font engine reading them off disk, not for shipping over a network.<\/li><li><strong>WOFF<\/strong> and <strong>WOFF2<\/strong> are <strong>web font formats<\/strong>. As MDN puts it, WOFF \u201cuses a compressed version of the same table-based <code>sfnt<\/code> structure used by TrueType, OpenType, and Open Font Format, but adds metadata and private-use data structures, including predefined fields allowing foundries and vendors to provide license information.\u201d In other words: it\u2019s your TTF\/OTF, compressed for transport, with room for license metadata baked in.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only real difference between the two web formats is the compressor. <strong>WOFF 1.0 uses zlib\/gzip; WOFF 2.0 uses Brotli<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cThe compression algorithm used for both the compressed font data stream and extended metadata block is Brotli,\u201d per the W3C spec. The spec is blunt about what WOFF2 is <em>for<\/em>: \u201cThe primary purpose of the WOFF2 format is to efficiently package fonts linked to Web documents by means of CSS <code>@font-face<\/code> rules.\u201d It\u2019s a <strong>W3C Recommendation<\/strong> \u2014 the web\u2019s official standards stamp (current edition dated 8 August 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key mental model: <strong>converting TTF \u2192 WOFF2 does not create a different font.<\/strong> It\u2019s a lossless repack \u2014 the same glyph outlines, the same hinting, the same metrics \u2014 that the browser decompresses back to equivalent OpenType data at load time. Nothing about how the type <em>looks<\/em> changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"size\">How much smaller is WOFF2 (and why it speeds up your page)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two comparisons matter, and it\u2019s worth being precise about both because most guides blur them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>vs. WOFF 1.0<\/strong> \u2014 this is the well-measured figure. The W3C\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/WOFF20ER\/\">WOFF 2.0 Evaluation Report<\/a> (Chris Lilley) measured a <strong>median reduction of ~24% over WOFF 1.0 for TrueType-outline fonts<\/strong> on the Google Fonts corpus (average ~25%, ranging from about 7% up to 71% depending on the font), and about <strong>13.5% for OpenType\/CFF fonts<\/strong>. Google\u2019s web.dev guidance rounds this to the number you\u2019ll see everywhere: <strong>\u201cWOFF2 compresses 30% better than WOFF.\u201d<\/strong> Either way, same font, smaller file, zero visual cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>vs. a raw TTF\/OTF<\/strong> \u2014 the win is bigger still, simply because the desktop file carries <em>no<\/em> compression at all. How much bigger depends entirely on the font (how many glyphs, how complex the outlines), so treat any single \u201c70% smaller!\u201d claim as font-specific rather than a law \u2014 but for a typical Latin text face, a WOFF2 is a small fraction of the original TTF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this shows up as page speed.<\/strong> Web fonts sit on the critical rendering path. By default a browser holds a <em>block period<\/em> while the font downloads \u2014 and as web.dev explains, \u201cif the web font isn\u2019t available, the font is rendered in an invisible fallback font and thus the text is invisible to the user.\u201d That\u2019s the dreaded flash-of-invisible-text (FOIT): your visitor stares at a blank paragraph until the font arrives. A smaller WOFF2 arrives sooner, so the invisible window is shorter \u2014 and pairing it with <code>font-display: swap<\/code> (which web.dev notes \u201cdelays text render the least\u201d) shows readable fallback text immediately while the real font streams in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an extra cut on top of the format win, <strong>subset<\/strong> the font to the glyphs you actually use \u2014 web.dev notes a CJK font can carry \u201cover 10,000 characters\u201d versus 100\u20131000 for Latin, so subsetting matters most for non-Latin scripts. But converting to WOFF2 is the universal first step every self-hosted font should take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"support\">Browser support: do you still need fallbacks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short version: for a modern site, <strong>no.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per <a href=\"https:\/\/caniuse.com\/woff2\">caniuse<\/a>, WOFF2 sits at roughly <strong>97% global support<\/strong> (96.68% at time of writing). It\u2019s been shipping in every major engine for years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Browser<\/th><th>WOFF2 supported from<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Chrome<\/td><td>36+ (2014)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Edge<\/td><td>14+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Firefox<\/td><td>39+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Safari (macOS)<\/td><td>12+ (partial from 10)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iOS Safari<\/td><td>10+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Android browser \/ Chrome<\/td><td>Yes (modern versions)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Internet Explorer<\/td><td><strong>Never \u2014 the only real gap<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only meaningful holdouts are Internet Explorer (all versions) and Opera Mini. That\u2019s why web.dev\u2019s advice is now simply: <strong>\u201cUse only WOFF2 and forget about everything else\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cWOFF2 is now supported everywhere. So, unless you need to support really ancient browsers, just use WOFF2.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you <em>do<\/em> still have to serve IE11 or similarly old clients, add a WOFF (or even raw TTF) fallback in the <code>src<\/code> list. Because browsers download the <strong>first<\/strong> format they understand, listing WOFF2 first means modern browsers grab only the WOFF2 and never touch the fallback \u2014 no double downloads, no wasted bytes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"font-face\">Using WOFF2 with @font-face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WOFF2 \u201cworks exactly like OpenType and TrueType format fonts do,\u201d as MDN notes \u2014 you just point <code>@font-face<\/code> at the file and give it the <code>format('woff2')<\/code> descriptor. The minimal, modern declaration is WOFF2-only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@font-face {\n  font-family: 'MyFont';\n  src: url('\/fonts\/myfont.woff2') format('woff2');\n  font-weight: 400;\n  font-style: normal;\n  font-display: swap;\n}\n\nbody {\n  font-family: 'MyFont', system-ui, sans-serif;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need a legacy fallback, list <strong>WOFF2 first<\/strong>, then WOFF (or TTF):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>src: url('\/fonts\/myfont.woff2') format('woff2'),\n     url('\/fonts\/myfont.woff')  format('woff');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few practical notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>One <code>@font-face<\/code> block per weight and style.<\/strong> Convert and declare <code>regular<\/code>, <code>bold<\/code>, and <code>italic<\/code> as separate files rather than relying on the browser to fake them \u2014 synthesized bold\/italic looks wrong.<\/li><li><strong><code>font-display: swap<\/code><\/strong> keeps text visible while the font loads (avoids the invisible-text period above). Use it unless you have a specific reason not to.<\/li><li><strong>Host it same-origin<\/strong>, and if you serve fonts from a separate domain\/CDN, send the right CORS header (<code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin<\/code>) or the browser will refuse the font.<\/li><li><strong>Preload the critical font<\/strong> (<code>&lt;link rel=&quot;preload&quot; as=&quot;font&quot; type=&quot;font\/woff2&quot; crossorigin&gt;<\/code>) if it renders above the fold, so the download starts before the CSS is parsed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"licensing\">The licensing caveat nobody mentions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the part most \u201cconvert your font\u201d tutorials skip, and it\u2019s the one that can actually get you in trouble. <strong>Converting a font\u2019s format does not change what its license lets you do with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A font you bought or downloaded for <em>desktop<\/em> use \u2014 installed on your machine to make graphics, documents, or an app UI \u2014 is very often licensed <em>only<\/em> for that. Many commercial EULAs do <strong>not<\/strong> include web embedding, some <strong>explicitly forbid<\/strong> self-hosting via <code>@font-face<\/code>, and others require a <strong>separate webfont license<\/strong> (sometimes metered by monthly pageviews). The conversion is trivial and lossless; the <em>permission<\/em> to publish the font on a public web server is a completely separate question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So before you self-host:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read the EULA<\/strong> for the words \u201cweb embedding,\u201d \u201c@font-face,\u201d or \u201cwebfonts.\u201d If it\u2019s silent or restrictive, assume web use isn\u2019t covered.<\/li><li><strong>Buy the webfont license<\/strong> if the foundry sells one separately.<\/li><li><strong>Or use a font whose license explicitly allows it.<\/strong> Fonts under the <strong>SIL Open Font License (OFL)<\/strong> \u2014 which covers the vast majority of Google Fonts \u2014 expressly permit embedding, self-hosting, and redistribution. That\u2019s the safe, friction-free path. (Fittingly, the WOFF format even reserves metadata fields for license info, per MDN.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Converting the file is the easy 10 seconds.

Keep the TTF\/OTF as your source (and for desktop use), convert a <strong>WOFF2<\/strong> copy for the site. There\u2019s no visual difference \u2014 only a smaller, faster-loading file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much smaller is WOFF2 than WOFF or TTF?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against <strong>WOFF 1.0<\/strong>, the W3C\u2019s evaluation measured a <strong>median ~24% reduction for TrueType-based fonts<\/strong> (web.dev rounds it to \u201c~30% better\u201d). Against a <strong>raw, uncompressed TTF<\/strong> the saving is larger still, because the desktop file isn\u2019t compressed at all \u2014 though the exact ratio depends on the font. The mechanism is <strong>Brotli<\/strong> compression, which WOFF2 uses in place of WOFF 1.0\u2019s zlib\/gzip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does converting TTF to WOFF2 reduce quality?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No \u2014 it\u2019s lossless.<\/strong> WOFF2 doesn\u2019t rasterize or re-draw anything; it compresses the exact same <code>sfnt<\/code> outline data and the browser decompresses it back at load time. The glyphs, hinting, and metrics are identical. \u201cQuality\u201d only enters the picture for <em>images<\/em>, not for this kind of font repackaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I still need a WOFF or TTF fallback in 2026?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Usually not.<\/strong> WOFF2 has ~97% global browser support (caniuse), and web.dev\u2019s guidance is to \u201cuse only WOFF2.\u201d Add a WOFF\/TTF fallback in your <code>src<\/code> list <strong>only<\/strong> if you must support Internet Explorer or similarly ancient browsers \u2014 and even then, list WOFF2 first so modern browsers ignore the fallback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I convert any font to WOFF2 and put it on my site?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically yes; <strong>legally, not always.<\/strong> Converting the format does <strong>not<\/strong> grant web-embedding rights. Many desktop font licenses exclude <code>@font-face<\/code>\/self-hosting or require a separate webfont license. Check the EULA, or use an <strong>SIL Open Font License<\/strong> font (most Google Fonts) that explicitly permits web use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I convert OTF to WOFF2 as well?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes.<\/strong> The converter accepts OTF sources and produces WOFF2 the same way. OpenType\/CFF fonts compress a little less dramatically than TrueType ones (the W3C measured ~13.5% over WOFF 1.0 for CFF vs ~24% for TTF outlines), but WOFF2 is still the right web format for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I add the WOFF2 file to my CSS?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Declare an <code>@font-face<\/code> rule pointing <code>src<\/code> at the file with <code>format('woff2')<\/code>, add <code>font-display: swap<\/code> so text stays visible while it loads, then reference the <code>font-family<\/code> name in your styles.
