WOFF to TTF Converter

This free WOFF to TTF converter turns a .woff web font back into an installable .ttf desktop font, so you can install it on your computer and use it in design software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and Word. Everything runs entirely in your browser, which means your font file is never uploaded to a server, there is no signup, and there is nothing to install.

Converts fonts locally with WOFF2 compression for the web. Web-font kit includes a .woff2 file and ready-to-paste @font-face CSS.

How to convert WOFF to TTF

Drag your .woff file onto the upload area, or click to browse and select it.
In the Output dropdown, choose TTF / OTF.
Click Convert & download to generate the installable font.
Install the downloaded font on your computer and use it in any app.

Because everything runs locally in your browser, your font is never uploaded anywhere, which keeps licensed or unreleased files private on your own device.

Why convert WOFF to TTF?

WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is built for websites, not for installing on your computer. It is a compressed wrapper around font data that browsers download and render, but your operating system and design apps will not install a .woff file directly. TTF (TrueType Font) is the standard desktop format that installs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and works in tools like Word, Photoshop, Illustrator, and desktop Figma. Converting to TTF is the usual fix when the only copy of a font you have is the web version, and you want to use it locally.

WOFF vs TTF (and WOFF vs WOFF2)

WOFF and TTF hold the same underlying font outlines but serve different jobs. WOFF is a web wrapper: it is compressed for fast delivery over the internet and is meant to be linked from a stylesheet, not installed. TTF is a desktop format: uncompressed and installable, so operating systems and design software can read it. Converting WOFF to TTF decompresses the web font back into an installable desktop font.

It also helps to know the two web versions apart. WOFF2 is the newer web format, compressed with Brotli for smaller files, while WOFF (version 1) is older, uses zlib compression, and has wider legacy browser support. Both are web formats, so neither installs directly on your machine.

Format	Type	Best for
WOFF	Web wrapper (zlib)	Web fonts with the widest legacy browser support
WOFF2	Web wrapper (Brotli)	Modern web delivery; smallest files
TTF	Desktop outline (TrueType)	Installing locally and using in design apps

Installing your TTF font

Once you have the converted file, installing it takes seconds. On Windows, double-click the .ttf file and choose Install, or right-click it and pick Install for all users. On macOS, double-click the file to open it in Font Book, then click Install Font. On Linux, copy the file into your ~/.fonts or ~/.local/share/fonts folder. After installing, restart any open apps so the new font appears in their font menus.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install a WOFF file directly?

No. WOFF is a web-only format that browsers read from a stylesheet, so your operating system will not install it like a normal font. You need to convert it to a desktop format such as TTF first, then install that file. This tool does exactly that, unwrapping the web font into an installable .ttf you can add to your computer.

What’s the difference between WOFF and WOFF2?

Both are web font formats, but they use different compression. WOFF2 is the newer format, compressed with Brotli, so its files are roughly 30% smaller and it is the modern default for websites. WOFF (version 1) uses zlib compression and is older, but it has wider support across legacy browsers. Neither one installs directly on your desktop, which is why you convert to TTF for local use.

Does converting lose quality?

No. Converting from WOFF to TTF decompresses the same font data back into an installable file, so the glyph outlines are unchanged and the letterforms render exactly the same. The conversion changes the container and compression, not the design of the typeface, so you get the same font you started with, just in a format you can install.

Do I always get a true TTF file?

The tool decompresses the WOFF back to its underlying sfnt font and offers it as an installable TTF or OTF. If the original font had TrueType (glyf) outlines you get a genuine .ttf. It decompresses the outlines rather than redrawing them, so a font built with PostScript (CFF) outlines stays in that form, saved as .otf, which installs and works exactly the same way on your computer.

Is it free and private?

Yes. The converter is completely free with no signup, and it runs entirely inside your browser. Your .woff file is read, converted, and downloaded on your own device, with nothing sent to a server. That makes it safe for licensed or unreleased fonts you cannot share with a third-party online service.

Do I need a licence to convert and install a font?

Changing the file format does not change the font’s licence. Only convert fonts you are licensed to use, and check the licence (EULA) that came with the typeface before installing it, since some web licences do not cover desktop use. When the terms allow it, converting a web font you own to TTF for your own local use is straightforward.
