Open WOFF2 File

The WOFF2 format and extension file is primarily used as a web font file created in the WOFF web 2.0 open source format, an open format used to deliver web page fonts on the go.

It is basically a compressed container file that supports TrueType TTF and OpenType OTF fonts. WOFF2 files also support metadata related to and content of font licensing information.

In the first instance, the WOFF2 format is similar to the WOFF format but has an improvement in compression that considerably reduces the use of network bandwidth.

The format is based on the Brotli compression algorithm, used to speed up web browsing through an open source data compression library.

WOFF2 files thus allow web developers to use custom fonts instead of standard web fonts.
