Yes. Files are processed and deleted immediately.
About WOFF
WOFF (Web Open Font Format) was standardized by the W3C in 2010 and is a container format that contains TrueType or CFF font data with zlib compression, specifically designed for web use. WOFF was developed by Jonathan Kew, Tal Leming, and Erik van Blokland as a method to compress font files for use in web pages without modifying the glyph outline data. WOFF files are typically 30 to 40 percent smaller than the underlying TTF or OTF files. The format contains metadata for licensing and provenance information and is supported by all modern browsers. WOFF was developed as a bridge between desktop fonts and web fonts, enabling efficient embedding of fonts in web pages without massive file sizes for the first time. WOFF is now supplemented by WOFF2 which offers even better compression, but remains important as a fallback for older browsers.
About TTF
TTF (TrueType Font) was developed in the late 1980s by Apple in collaboration with Microsoft as a response to Adobes Type 1 PostScript fonts and was a milestone in digital typography. Apple introduced TrueType in 1991 with System 7, Microsoft followed in 1992 with Windows 3.1 and the Arial font family as an alternative to Helvetica. TTF uses quadratic Bezier curves to describe glyphs and offers hinting for better rendering at small point sizes on screens. The format supports up to 65,536 glyphs and includes Unicode cmap tables for multilingual character sets. TTF is the most widely distributed font format and is supported by all operating systems, browsers, and word processors. TrueType was crucial for democratizing typography by enabling scalable fonts on consumer devices for the first time. Modern fonts are increasingly released in CFF format as OTF, which supports cubic Bezier curves and achieves smaller file sizes for complex glyphs.
Why convert TTF → WOFF?
TTF (TrueType Font) is a classic font format from Apple and Microsoft, supported on virtually every operating system since 1991. For web applications, however, TTF is too large — typically 100-200 KB per weight. Converting to WOFF creates web-optimized versions: WOFF2 offers up to 30% better compression than WOFF and is the current web font standard. OTF is the choice for advanced typography features. WOFF optimizes fonts for their respective use cases. WOFF is a compressed web font format that has been superseded by WOFF2 as the preferred standard.
