What is a WOFF file?
Web Open Font Format: WOFF is a compressed font format designed specifically for web pages. It's essentially a TTF or OTF font wrapped in compression, making it faster to download while keeping the same quality.
Created by: Mozilla, Opera, and Microsoft, standardized in 2012
Used for: Web fonts, CSS @font-face declarations
Technical details: Compressed wrapper around TTF or OTF data using zlib. Typically 30-40% smaller than the equivalent TTF. Includes metadata for licensing information.
Compatibility: Supported by all modern browsers. Not typically used for desktop font installation.
What is a WOFF2 file?
Web Open Font Format 2.0: WOFF2 is the latest web font format and the best choice for serving fonts on websites. It compresses roughly 30% better than WOFF, which means faster page loads.
Created by: Google, standardized in 2018
Used for: Web fonts (the preferred format for modern web development)
Technical details: Uses Brotli compression, achieving roughly 30% better compression than WOFF. Otherwise functionally identical to WOFF.
