What can I do with this online tool?
Do you have a font file in a format that your tools cannot handle? With this online converter you can convert even exotic font file formats into commonly used formats like TTF or OTF. If you do not know which format is suitable for your software, try TTF.
Supported font formats
FontConverter.org can read the following font files:
- TTF (TrueType), OTF (OpenType), TTC (TrueType Collection, the first font of it)
- WOFF and WOFF2 (web fonts)
- PFB and PFA (PostScript Type 1), CFF
- DFONT (Mac OS X Data Fork Font)
- FON and FNT (Windows), BDF (Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format), OTB (X11 bitmap only sfnt)
- SVG fonts, SFD (FontForge), TeX fonts (OFM), CHR and CHA
The following output formats are supported:
- TTF – TrueType, OTF – OpenType
- WOFF and WOFF2 – Web Open Font
- SVG font, UFO – Unified Font Object (a folder, as a ZIP)
- PFB and PFA – PostScript Type 1 (with the metrics as AFM file), PS – PostScript Type 0, T42 – PostScript Type 42
- CFF – Compact Font Format
Bitmap fonts (e.g. BDF, FON) have pixel images instead of outlines: they can only be converted to TTF.
What is the webfont kit?
Everything you need to use a font on your website: the font as WOFF2 (the smallest format, for all current browsers) and WOFF (for older browsers), and the CSS (an @font-face rule) that loads them. Please check that the license of the font allows its use on a website.
What does autohinting do?
Hinting adjusts the outlines of the characters to the pixels of the screen, so text in small sizes looks sharper, in particular on Windows. Autohinting (with ttfautohint) adds these hints automatically to TrueType fonts.
