Understanding TTF and WOFF Formats
Learn about the source and target file formats to understand what happens during conversion.
Source Format
TrueType Font
font/ttfTTF (TrueType Font) is a font format developed jointly by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s, using quadratic Bezier curves to define glyph outlines. It supports font hinting instructions that optimize rendering at small sizes on screen, and includes tables for kerning, ligatures, and other typographic features. TTF remains one of the most widely used font formats across all operating systems.
Advantages
- Universal support across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile operating systems
- Excellent screen rendering with built-in hinting instructions
- Well-established format with decades of tooling and ecosystem support
Limitations
- Larger file sizes than WOFF/WOFF2 for web delivery
- Quadratic curves are less efficient than cubic curves used in OpenType/CFF
- Single-style per file (no font collections without TTC container)
Common Uses
- Desktop application and operating system fonts
- Print document and graphic design typography
- Web fonts where WOFF/WOFF2 alternatives are not available
Target Format
Web Open Font Format
font/woffWOFF (Web Open Font Format) is a web font format that wraps TrueType or OpenType font data with additional compression and metadata in a web-optimized container. It was developed by the W3C to provide a standardized, compressed font format specifically for web delivery. WOFF typically achieves 40% compression compared to raw TTF/OTF files.
Advantages
- Significantly smaller file sizes than TTF/OTF for faster web page loading
- Standardized by the W3C with universal browser support
- Includes metadata for licensing and font origin information
Limitations
- Larger than WOFF2 which uses more efficient Brotli compression
- Not intended for desktop application use
- Requires decompression overhead when loading fonts
Common Uses
- Web font delivery via CSS @font-face rules
- Self-hosted web typography on websites and web applications
- Font distribution through web font services
