What is a .eot file?
EOT (Embedded OpenType) was Microsoft's web font format, supported only by Internet Explorer. With IE retired in 2022, EOT is effectively obsolete — WOFF2 covers every browser still in use.
What people use EOT files for
- Legacy sites that still support Internet Explorer
- Font stacks in older codebases
- Archived web projects
What opens a EOT file
- Internet Explorer only
- FontSquirrel, which generates EOT alongside other formats
How to host a EOT file
- 1
Drop your EOT file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.
- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: legacy-font.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The file downloads. Referenced from @font-face it only ever mattered to Internet Explorer.
Why host a EOT file instead of emailing it?
Almost never needed now. If you're maintaining a site that genuinely still supports IE, hosting the file gives you the URL — otherwise WOFF2 alone is enough.
Worth knowing before you publish
- WOFF2 covers every browser in current use; EOT is only for Internet Explorer, which Microsoft retired in 2022.
- Dropping EOT from a font stack removes a request and simplifies your CSS.
- Font licences frequently prohibit public hosting — check yours.
EOT hosting questions
- Do I still need EOT?
- Almost certainly not. Internet Explorer was retired in 2022 and it was the only browser that used the format. WOFF2 covers everything else.
- What replaced EOT?
- WOFF and then WOFF2, both open standards supported by every current browser.
- Can I just delete it from my font stack?
- Unless you have a documented requirement to support IE, yes — it removes a request and simplifies the CSS.
