How do I convert AFM to OTF with LetsConvert?

Upload your AFM file on the converter, select OTF as the output format, and click Convert. The tool maps the metrics (character widths and kerning) into an OpenType-compliant font. After conversion, download the OTF file and install it on any system.

Why convert AFM to OTF instead of keeping the original AFM?

AFM is only a metrics file used alongside PostScript outlines; it cannot be used as a font by itself. OTF bundles outlines and metrics in one scalable font, enabling broad compatibility with web, desktop, and mobile applications. Conversion removes the need for separate outline files and improves font management.

What happens to kerning and glyph widths during AFM to OTF conversion?

All kerning pairs and widths in the AFM are preserved and converted to font units (upem) in the OTF. If the AFM references glyphs not present in the outline data, those metrics are discarded, and default widths are applied to keep the font valid. The conversion also transfers bounding box and ascender/descender values.

AFM-TO-OTF

AFM holds metrics only; OTF adds scalable outlines and advanced features. Convert AFM to OTF for flawless rendering in modern apps with kerning intact.
