About the WOFF2 to TTF Converter
The WOFF2 to TTF Converter unpacks WOFF2 web fonts into regular font files. Websites use WOFF2 because it is small, but Windows, macOS, Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Canva and Cricut Design Space cannot install or open it. After conversion you get a standard font file that installs with a double-click.
WOFF2 is a compressed wrapper, so decoding it gives back the original font data with every glyph intact. Most WOFF2 files contain TrueType outlines and become a normal TTF. If a WOFF2 file was made from an OpenType CFF font, the tool converts its outlines to TrueType so the result is always a TTF. Only convert fonts you are allowed to use: a font downloaded from a website is usually licensed for that website only.
Using a web font on your computer
Installing the TTF
- Windows: right-click the TTF file and choose Install, or Install for all users.
- Mac: double-click the file and click Install Font in Font Book.
- Canva, Cricut and similar apps: restart the app after installing, so the font appears in the list.
Typical reasons to convert
- A designer sends the web font files from a website, and you need to make matching flyers in Word or Photoshop.
- You are rebuilding a site and only have the WOFF2 files from the old one.
A word about rights
Fonts on other people's websites are licensed to them. Downloading and installing them does not give you the right to use them. Open-licence fonts, such as most Google Fonts, are fine. For commercial fonts, buy a desktop licence.
How to use the WOFF2 to TTF Converter
- Drop your WOFF2 files into the upload area, or click to choose them.
- Wait while each file is decoded and saved as TTF.
- Download the TTF files one by one or as a ZIP.
- Double-click a TTF file to install it on Windows or macOS.
Frequently asked questions
Will the TTF look the same as the web font?
Yes. WOFF2 is a lossless format, so the TTF contains the same glyphs, spacing and kerning.
How do I install the TTF on Windows or Mac?
On Windows, right-click the file and choose Install. On a Mac, double-click it and press Install Font in Font Book.
Can I use fonts I downloaded from another website?
Only if the license allows it. Open-source fonts such as those from Google Fonts can be used freely; commercial web fonts usually cannot be installed on a desktop.
