What is a WOFF2 file?

WOFF2 files mostly belong to FontForge by FontForge Developers. A WOFF2 file is a web font saved in Web Open Font Format 2.0. This file serves a compressed wrapper for OpenType or TrueType font intended for web use. WOFF2 was developed as a replacement for WOFF. It uses a Brotli-based compression algorithm and other improvements to provide up to 30% higher compression than WOFF. Web Open Font Format 2.0 is supported by Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. It can be created and edited with font authoring tools like FontForge. The @font-face rule in CSS can be used to import a WOFF2 file into a stylesheet.

How do you open WOFF2 files?

You need a suitable software like FontForge from FontForge Developers to open a WOFF2 file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your WOFF2 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WOFF2 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

WOFF2 file format:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our analysis of the WOFF2 files produces the following result:
