How do I convert WOFF2 to AFM step by step?

Upload a WOFF2 file, click Convert, and download the resulting AFM. The converter reads the font's outline data to extract exact character widths, kerning pairs, and bounding boxes, then outputs a plain-text AFM file compatible with PostScript typesetting. No font install needed—just run in your browser.

Why would I convert WOFF2 to AFM?

WOFF2 is a compressed web-font format (Brotli) that bundles glyph outlines; AFM is a metric-only plain-text spec used in print workflows. Converting to AFM gives layout engines precise advance widths and kerning without the overhead of outlines, making it ideal for PostScript layout, DTP, and server-side text measuring where only metrics are needed.

What happens to font data when converting WOFF2 to AFM?

Our conversion extracts the font's hmtx (horizontal metrics) and kern tables to produce AFM metrics. All numeric values are preserved exactly (upm, ascender, descender, width, kerning pairs). However, WOFF2 glyph outlines, hinting, and color tables are intentionally discarded because AFM has no structure for them. The resulting AFM will render text at identical line lengths and spacing, but cannot display or print glyphs.
