What is OTF file?
OTF or OpenType Font file extension is used by several font-related software including Adobe and Microsoft. It is a vector format of a font that contains both the shape and size of each character. OTF is an extension of the .TTF TrueType font format developed by Apple Computer. Compared to TTF, OTF integrates expanded technical information, allowing for more precise control over how a character is displayed. [ ⏩ ] OTF file extension

How to convert the file from OTF to WOFF2?
To successfully convert the OTF file to WOFF2, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OTF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case WOFF2 (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than WOFF2).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OTF to WOFF2. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting OTF files to WOFF2 files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension WOFF2, while before this step we had the OTF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new WOFF2 file, or not.
