Are you having problems opening an EOT file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your EOT files.

What is an EOT file?

EOT files have multiple uses, and Embedded OpenType Font is one of them. Read more about the other uses further down the page.

Embedded OpenType Font

The .eot file extension or the Embedded Open Type extension is a font format extension used in web pages as a basic font type for web content. EOT was created primarily for the Internet Explorer web browser and is derived from the use of TrueType fonts.

EOT files are saved in a way that they should not be opened as is. EOT files are no longer in the mainstream font files. Since EOT files were designed for Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer has been replaced by a more popular browser, the use of .eot is also in decline. It is being replaced by more appropriate and updated font file formats like TTF, OTF, and WOFF.
