Add your WOFF2 file
Drop one or more .woff2 files onto the converter above, or browse for them. They load into browser memory only — nothing is uploaded, so there is no size-based pricing and no server queue.
Converting a .woff2 font to .ttf repackages the same glyphs and metrics for a different delivery target. Free, private, and validated — the file never leaves your browser.
Batch files can each use a different output. Nothing uploads for local conversions.
Working inputs include camera RAW, browser-local audio/video, PDF, CBZ/CBR comics, office documents, ebooks, markup, 3D models, structured text, images, and archives.Converting a .woff2 font to .ttf repackages the same glyphs and metrics for a different delivery target. WOFF2 (.woff2) is the current web-font format: a font's sfnt tables preprocessed and squeezed with Brotli compression so pages download less type data. It is purely a transport wrapper — decompressing a .woff2 reconstructs a working TrueType or OpenType font.
TrueType fonts, extension .ttf, describe each glyph as outlines built from quadratic Bezier curves plus hinting programs that fine-tune rendering at small sizes. It has been the workhorse desktop font format for over three decades and remains the base technology inside most fonts installed today. For this route the practical draw is installs and renders everywhere, from decades-old systems to current ones and excellent small-size rendering when well hinted — balanced against uncompressed, so files are several times larger than their WOFF2 equivalents on the web, which is worth knowing before you commit a large batch.
The practical trigger for this conversion is usually a mismatch: with .woff2, operating systems will not install it, so designers juggle separate web and desktop copies of the same font. Switching to .ttf buys you installs and renders everywhere, from decades-old systems to current ones, which is why it is the better fit for installing fonts on Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops. Because the conversion runs locally, trying it costs nothing but a few seconds of compute on your own machine.
| Aspect | WOFF2 web font (.woff2) | TrueType font (.ttf) |
|---|---|---|
| Format type | Container — quality depends on the codecs and settings inside | Container — quality depends on the codecs and settings inside |
| How it stores data | brotli compression over the whole font, preceded by a glyf and loca transformation that re-encodes outline data for better compressibility | an sfnt container of tagged binary tables: glyf for outlines, cmap for character mapping, name for naming, hhea and hmtx for metrics |
| Strongest at | serving fonts on production websites as the default @font-face source | installing fonts on Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops |
| Weak spot | operating systems will not install it, so designers juggle separate web and desktop copies of the same font | uncompressed, so files are several times larger than their WOFF2 equivalents on the web |
| Metadata | all metadata of the wrapped font survives untouched, and the container can additionally carry an optional extended-metadata XML block from the vendor | the name table stores family and style names, version, copyright, trademark, designer, and license URL, while OS/2 table bits declare embedding and installation permissions |

Select .ttf in the output menu next to each file. The menu only offers targets this engine can genuinely produce, so if TTF is selectable, the route is real and validated.
Press Convert. The font tables are parsed and rewritten locally with fonteditor-core; glyph outlines, hinting, and kerning survive the trip.
Each result is signature-checked before the download unlocks, so a failed encode can never masquerade as a valid TTF file. Outputs keep the original filename with the .ttf extension.
Since woff2 is container-oriented and ttf is container-oriented, the conversion preserves the source content exactly as stored; no additional compression pass is applied beyond what .ttf itself requires.
Yes — the .woff2 file is processed inside your browser tab and never uploaded. The font tables are parsed and rewritten locally with fonteditor-core; glyph outlines, hinting, and kerning survive the trip. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory.
Every operating system — Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android — installs and renders .ttf natively, and all browsers accept it as a web font. On the web it works but wastes bandwidth, which is why the standard split is serving WOFF2 online and keeping TTF for desktop installation.
It depends on the content: an sfnt container of tagged binary tables: glyf for outlines, cmap for character mapping, name for naming, hhea and hmtx for metrics. Convert one representative file first and compare before batch-processing a large set.
In .woff2, all metadata of the wrapped font survives untouched, and the container can additionally carry an optional extended-metadata XML block from the vendor. Re-encoding through the browser pipeline does not carry embedded metadata into the output, which doubles as a privacy scrub — check the exported file if you specifically need tags preserved.
Yes — the reverse route exists as a separate tool. Bear in mind that round-tripping .woff2 → .ttf → .woff2 is not a perfect undo when any lossy step is involved; keep your original if fidelity matters.
