When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Extracting desktop fonts from a web font kit
Many font services provide WOFF2 for web use. If you also need the font for desktop applications, convert WOFF2 to OTF to get an installable version.
Using web fonts in print and PDF production
Print production requires OTF or TTF fonts for PDF embedding. Convert WOFF2 to OTF to use the font in InDesign, Illustrator, or other layout tools.
Inspecting font internals with a font editor
Open the extracted OTF in FontForge, Glyphs, or RoboFont to examine glyph outlines, OpenType feature code, kerning classes, and font metadata.
Cross-platform font deployment
When you need to distribute a font to users on different platforms for desktop use, OTF provides broad compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Archiving fonts in an open format
OTF is a widely documented, non-compressed format suitable for long-term archival. Convert WOFF2 to OTF for storage in font libraries and asset management systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. WOFF2 uses lossless Brotli compression. Decompressing it recovers all original font data — glyph outlines, kerning, OpenType features, and metadata — without any quality loss.
OTF files are significantly larger than WOFF2 because Brotli compression is very efficient. Expect the OTF to be roughly 50-70% larger, restoring the full uncompressed font data.
Yes. All GSUB and GPOS features — ligatures, stylistic alternates, contextual alternates, small caps, fractions, ordinals — are stored in OpenType tables that are fully preserved.
Yes. Install the OTF on your system and it becomes available in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and all other Adobe apps that use system fonts.
WOFF2 can contain either CFF or TrueType outlines. The converter handles both types. The output will contain whichever outline format was in the original WOFF2.
The legality depends on your font license. Some web font licenses restrict conversion to desktop formats. Always review the font's EULA. This tool performs a technical conversion; licensing responsibility is yours.
Yes. The entire decompression and extraction process runs in your browser. No font data is transmitted to any server. This is safe for proprietary and licensed typefaces.
Yes. Variable font tables (fvar, gvar, avar, STAT) are preserved during extraction. The resulting OTF will support the same variation axes and named instances.
If the WOFF2 contains CFF data, OTF is the natural output format. CFF outlines use cubic curves preferred in professional typography. Choose TTF if you need broader legacy compatibility.
Yes. The extracted OTF can be converted back to WOFF2 or any other font format. Since the extraction is lossless, re-compressing will produce an equivalent WOFF2 file.
