Google's reference C++ implementation of the WOFF2 font compression format, built on Brotli. It provides libraries plus CLI tools (woff2_compress, woff2_decompress) for converting between TTF/OTF and WOFF2 fonts.

Use cases

  • convert ttf fonts to woff2 for web use
  • decompress woff2 font files back to ttf
  • embed woff2 compression in a font toolchain
  • reduce web font file sizes
  • build font subsetting pipelines

When to choose

  • you need standards-compliant WOFF2 encoding or decoding
  • you want a small C++ library to integrate into font tooling
  • you need CLI batch conversion of font files

When to avoid

  • you need font rendering or shaping rather than compression
  • you want a high-level font library with subsetting and feature inspection
  • you work in a language without C++ interop and need a native port
