Do I still need WOFF?

Only for browsers older than roughly 2016. Current browsers all support WOFF2, which is significantly smaller, so most sites can drop WOFF entirely.

How do I convert TTF to WOFF?

FontSquirrel's webfont generator or Transfonter will produce WOFF and WOFF2 together, along with the @font-face CSS.

Can I use it from my own website?

Yes, with an @font-face rule pointing at the address. It's served with the correct font content type.

Host a WOFF font and serve it from a URL

Put a web font at a public address — the older web font format, still useful as a fallback for legacy browsers.

You can host:

Drop your WOFF font here

Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site

Free to use. Your WOFF file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.

What is a .woff file?

WOFF (Web Open Font Format) wraps a font with compression and metadata for web delivery. It was the standard web font format before WOFF2 arrived with markedly better compression, and now serves mainly as a fallback for older browsers.

What people use WOFF files for

Fallback font alongside WOFF2 for older browsers
Fonts for sites that must support legacy environments
Self-hosted typefaces in older codebases

What opens a WOFF file

Every browser back to Internet Explorer 9, via @font-face
FontSquirrel and Transfonter, for converting
FontForge, for authoring

How to host a WOFF file

1
Drop your WOFF 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: brand-font-legacy.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 when opened directly. Referenced from an @font-face rule, it loads and renders normally.

Why host a WOFF file instead of emailing it?

If you're self-hosting fonts, you generally want both formats at stable URLs. Hosting them here gives you both without adding binary assets to your repository.

Worth knowing before you publish

WOFF2 first in your @font-face src list, WOFF second — browsers use the first format they understand.
If you don't need to support browsers older than about 2016, WOFF2 alone is enough.
Font licences frequently restrict public hosting; check yours.
