What is a .WOFF2 file?
WOFF2 is the newer web-font format, even smaller thanks to Brotli compression.
- Did you know
- WOFF2 became a W3C standard in 2018 and is now the default web-font format.
- Brotli, the compression algorithm at the heart of WOFF2, was created by Google specifically to make web fonts smaller, and typically beats WOFF by about 30 per cent.
- On the web a .WOFF2 file is served with the MIME type
font/woff2.
- What Analyser reads
- Preview fonts and read their metadata: TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), web fonts (WOFF, WOFF2), and collections (TTC), with variable-axis animation.
- Depth of analysis
- .WOFF2 is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .WOFF2 file
- Drag a .WOFF2 file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
