Convert WOFF to TrueType (TTF) Online Free
Convert Web Open Font Format files back to TrueType for desktop installation and use in applications. WOFF is a compressed wrapper around TrueType or CFF data — unwrapping it restores the original desktop-ready font.
To convert WOFF to TTF, drop your .woff file onto the ChangeThisFile converter. The WOFF container is decompressed in your browser using opentype.js, extracting the TrueType font data inside. The result is a standard .ttf file you can install on your system. Free, private, no upload required.

When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Installing a web font on your desktop
You have a WOFF file from a website or font kit but need to install it in your operating system for use in Word, Photoshop, or other desktop applications. Convert to TTF first.
Editing a font in a font editor
Font editors like FontForge, Glyphs, and RoboFont work with TTF or OTF source files. Convert WOFF to TTF to open and edit the font in these tools.
Using web fonts in video or print production
Video editing software and print workflows require desktop font formats. Convert WOFF to TTF to use the font in After Effects, Premiere, InDesign, or similar tools.
Archiving fonts in a universal format
TTF is the most universally supported font format. Converting WOFF to TTF creates a version that works across all platforms and can be archived for long-term use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. WOFF is a lossless wrapper around the font data. Decompressing it produces an identical TTF file with all glyph outlines, kerning, and features intact.
Yes. The output is a standard TrueType font file. On Windows, double-click and choose Install. On macOS, open with Font Book and click Install. On Linux, copy to ~/.fonts/.
WOFF can wrap either TrueType or CFF data. If the source is CFF-based, the converter will still extract the font data, but the output will contain CFF outlines in a TTF container.
That depends on the specific font license. Some licenses restrict format conversion. Always check your font's EULA or license terms. This tool performs a format conversion only — licensing is your responsibility.
Operating systems only support TTF and OTF for installation. WOFF was specifically designed for web browsers and includes web-specific metadata. Converting to TTF makes it system-installable.
Yes. All GSUB and GPOS tables — ligatures, kerning, stylistic alternates, contextual forms — are part of the font data inside the WOFF wrapper and are preserved during extraction.
No. Everything happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your font file never leaves your device. This is safe for proprietary fonts and fonts under restrictive licenses.
Yes. The TTF will be larger than the WOFF because WOFF applies zlib compression. Expect the TTF to be roughly 30-50% larger than the compressed WOFF.
The converter processes one file at a time. Convert each WOFF file individually — e.g., Regular.woff, Bold.woff, Italic.woff — to get the corresponding TTF files.
Yes. The converted TTF is a standard font file that opens in FontForge, Glyphs, RoboFont, or any other font editing software.
