Convert OTF to TTF

OTF to TTF converter that runs entirely in your browser. 100% free, no signup, no upload — your files never leave your device. One-click batch conversion.

OTF stores PostScript (cubic) outlines, TTF stores TrueType (quadratic) ones — converting OTF to TTF re-plots every glyph curve. The result looks near-identical and works far better with older Windows apps, some Android devices, and tools that choke on CFF outlines. Hinting may shift slightly, so proof text-heavy uses.

About formats

OTF

OTF (OpenType Font) is a scalable font format jointly developed by Microsoft and Adobe, extending TrueType with support for PostScript (CFF) glyph outlines, advanced typographic features (ligatures, alternates, small caps), and large character sets using Unicode. OTF is the modern standard for professional typography and is supported by all major operating systems and design software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting OTF to TTF free?
Yes. This OTF → TTF converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.
Which devices and platforms can I use to convert OTF to TTF?
Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.
Are my OTF files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire OTF → TTF conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple OTF files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many OTF files as you like and convert them to TTF in one pass, then download the results together.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.
Will converting OTF to TTF lose quality?
No. TTF is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your OTF file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.
Does TTF support transparency?
No — TTF has no alpha channel. Transparent areas of your OTF file will be filled with a solid background colour in the converted file.
How will the file size change after converting OTF to TTF?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the TTF output will be similar in size to your OTF file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
