API Details
The API operates over HTTP(S) and is a simple POST API.
- POST URL
https://webfontomatic.com/convert
- file - the font to be converted (TTF, OTF, or SVG format)
format - (optional*) font format you need (otf, eot, woff, woff2, svg, ttf)
The API will serve either a font file or a zip file depending on the format* parameter.
* If you pass the 'format' parameter then you'll be returned a single font file in the requested format. If you omit this parameter, you'll receive a zip file containing all converted formats and an HTML/CSS example file (the same as if you had uploaded the font for manual conversion through our conversion page).
