How WOFF2 Handles OTF Data
Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality OpenType Font input produces an excellent WOFF2 Web Font output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. OpenType Font encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. WOFF2 Web Font prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently. OpenType Font's known limitation — larger file sizes than TTF for simple fonts — is resolved when converting to WOFF2 Web Font, which offers smallest web font file size — 30% smaller than WOFF, 50%+ smaller than TTF.
