Convert variable font TTF to WOFF2

If you have a variable font with TTF format on your computer and want to use it on your site, you must convert the file to WOFF2 format.

WOFF2 format font file is recommended by web.dev to use for websites, and the format has better compression with an average over 30% reduction in file size, making your site faster and lightweight.

The best way to convert the font file from TTF to WOFF2 format is by using Google’s tool available at https://github.com/google/woff2.

Setuping the google/woff2 tool may be complicated for you, but no worries, we have set up the tool on our server, and you only need to upload it from the above upload form, and your WOFF2 file is ready to download.

If you want to self-host the Google Fonts on your WordPress site and download the file from the Google Fonts site, you will find out that the downloaded font file format is TTF. Convert the file to WOFF2 by using the upload form above. Some of you may find this workflow cumbersome to self-host Google Fonts.

Fortunately, we have built the Yabe Webfont plugin, a WordPress plugin with a one-click Google Fonts import feature that allows you to self-host the files in seconds.

It offers multiple font file formats that can be chosen: WOFF2, WOFF, and TTF.

It has first-class visual builder integration for the most popular visual builders and themes, including Elementor, Oxygen, Bricks, and even Gutenberg.
