How to Use the Webfont Generator Tool

Converting fonts for web use has never been easier. Simply upload your TTF or OTF font file, select the desired output formats, customize settings if needed, and click "Generate Webfonts".

Why Web Fonts Matter to Developers

Web fonts are essential for maintaining consistent typography across different devices and browsers. Using the right font formats ensures optimal performance, browser compatibility, and proper text rendering.

Understanding Web Font Formats

Different font formats serve different purposes:

  • WOFF2: The newest format with the best compression (up to 30% smaller than WOFF). Supported in modern browsers.
  • WOFF: Web Open Font Format with good compression. Widely supported across browsers.
  • EOT: Embedded OpenType, required for Internet Explorer 8 and below.
  • SVG: Legacy format that was once needed for older iOS devices, rarely used today.

Best Practices for Web Fonts

For optimal performance and compatibility:

  • Use WOFF2 and WOFF as primary formats with EOT as a fallback for older browsers.
  • Consider font subsetting to reduce file size by including only the characters you need.
  • Implement proper font-display settings to control how fonts load and render.
  • Use local() in your @font-face declaration to prioritize locally installed fonts when available.

Connection to Cloud Hosting

Web fonts are typically served from your web server. Kloudbean's cloud hosting provides the reliable and fast infrastructure needed to serve web fonts efficiently, ensuring that your visitors experience your website as you designed it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is there a file size limit for uploaded fonts?
This tool supports font files up to 10MB in size. For larger files, consider using a desktop application for conversion.

Q. Are the generated fonts processed on my device or on a server?
All processing happens client-side in your browser. Your font files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your privacy and security.

Q. How can I use the generated web fonts in my project?
After generating the web fonts, download the files and host them on your web server. Then, use the provided CSS code in your stylesheet and link it in your HTML files.

Q. What is font subsetting and why should I use it?
Font subsetting removes unused glyphs (characters) from a font file, significantly reducing its size. If your website only uses Latin characters, you can subset to include only those, making your font files smaller and faster to load.

Q. Does this tool work with variable fonts?
This tool supports standard TTF and OTF fonts. Variable fonts might not convert properly due to their complex structure.
