Convert TTF to WOFF

Understanding TTF and WOFF file formats

TTF (TrueType Font) is a font format developed by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s. It is widely used for both screen and print fonts due to its scalability and high quality. TTF files contain detailed information about the font's glyphs, allowing for precise rendering on various devices.

WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is a font format specifically designed for use on the web. It is a compressed version of font formats like TTF or OTF, optimized for faster loading times and reduced file sizes. WOFF files are supported by all major web browsers, making them ideal for web design and development.
