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 shows you
- Preview fonts live in the browser and inspect them: the native FontFace API renders a real specimen (pangram, alphabet and sizes) of TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), web fonts (WOFF, WOFF2) and collections (TTC), with sliders that drive each variable-font axis in real time. opentype.js reads the family, style, version, foundry, licence and units-per-em, counts the glyphs, and draws a grid of every glyph outline.
- Open a .WOFF2 file
- Drag a .WOFF2 file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
