OTF to WOFF Converter

Turn OTF files into WOFF in a couple of clicks. OTF is OpenType, with advanced typographic features; WOFF is a compressed font wrapper built for the web. The conversion is lossless — every pixel, sample or byte in the source is preserved.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Add your OTF files

    Drag them onto the drop area, choose them from your device, or paste them from your clipboard. You can queue several at once. Nothing is sent anywhere — the file stays on this device.

  2. 2

    Adjust the settings if you want to

    The defaults suit most people. Open Advanced to control the output settings.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Press Convert. Everything happens on your own device — nothing is uploaded. Download files one by one, or grab them all as a ZIP.

Privacy, in plain words

Is it safe? Your OTF file is not uploaded anywhere

What “uploaded” normally means. On most online converters, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website. That copy is what the word “upload” means, and it is the part nobody explains.

What happens instead. This site does not do it. There is no server here that receives files, so your OTF file is read, converted and handed back by the browser you are using right now. It never travels — so there is no copy to store, read, leak or hand over.

Check it yourself in ten seconds

Turn off your Wi-Fi after this page has loaded, then convert a file anyway. It still works, because everything needed is already on your device.

The longer explanation of how this works, and the full detail of what is and is not stored on the privacy page.

Why this matters more than it sounds

A font is licensed rather than owned, and the licence usually says something specific about copies. It matters more than it sounds, because of what font files usually are:

Custom brand fonts

drawn for one company and not released

Client brand assets

held by you under an agreement with somebody else

Unreleased type designs

a designer's work before it goes on sale

Foundry trial fonts

explicitly licensed for evaluation only

A file that is never sent cannot be kept, leaked, subpoenaed or used to train anything. That is a property of how this works, not a promise about how carefully it is run.

OTF and WOFF explained

OpenType extends TrueType with cubic curves and, more importantly, advanced typographic features: ligatures, small caps, stylistic alternates and proper multilingual shaping.

WOFF wraps a TrueType or OpenType font with compression and metadata, specifically for delivery over the web.

Where WOFF is used

OTF vs WOFF

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

OTF is stronger at
Advanced typographic features. Better multilingual support. Cross-platform.
WOFF is stronger at
Compressed for the web. Supported by every browser including very old ones. Carries licensing metadata.

Why convert OTF to WOFF?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of OTF: web delivery. WOFF is the better fit when you must support browsers from before roughly 2016.

OTF limitations that prompt the switch
Uncompressed, so it is a poor web font. Advanced features need application support to be usable.
What you give up
Around 30% larger than WOFF2. Superseded for any modern browser target.

What is preserved when converting OTF to WOFF?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.

Good to know

OTF to WOFF Converter — questions

How do I convert OTF to WOFF?

Drop your OTF file onto the area above, then press Convert. The WOFF file saves straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Is it safe to convert OTF files here — are they uploaded to a server?

No, nothing is uploaded. On most online converters, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website; it is converted there and sent back. That copy is what "upload" means, and it is the part that puts your file out of your control. This site does not do it. Your OTF file is read and converted by the browser you are using right now and never leaves this device, so there is no copy for anyone to store, read or hand over. You can prove it: turn off your Wi-Fi after this page loads and the conversion still works.

Can I convert confidential OTF files, like bank statements or contracts?

Yes, and that is the case this site was built for. Because the file never leaves your device, a confidential document is no more exposed than it is sitting in your own folder — there is no transfer, no copy on someone else's hardware, no retention period to read about and no staff with access. Nothing is logged about the file either: not its name, not its size, not its contents. The one thing worth saying plainly is that this protects the file in transit and at rest on our side, not from anything already on your own computer.

What should I know before converting OTF to WOFF?

Glyph outlines and metadata are preserved. Converting a font does not grant you the right to redistribute or embed it — check the licence that came with the file.

What is preserved when converting to WOFF?

Everything in the file carries over. WOFF stores the same values as OTF, so the data itself is unchanged — what differs is the syntax around it, and anything WOFF has no way to express, such as comments, is dropped.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 40 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android. Pick the file through your phone's file picker — Files on iOS, or Downloads on Android — including files stored in iCloud or Google Drive.
