多くのクリエイターやビジネスパーソンにとって、画像ファイルのフォーマット変換は日常茶飯事です。特に、デザイン作業でよく使われるXCF形式のファイルを、印刷やプロフェッショナルな出力に適したART形式へ変換する場面は少なくありません。しかし、その過程で、レイヤー情報や色彩の再現性、さらにはフォントの埋め込みといった細部にまで配慮が行き届いているかどうかが、最終的な成果物の品質を大きく左右します。私たちは、単なる形式変換に留まらず、お客様の意図が忠実に再現されるような、きめ細やかな変換サービスを提供することを目指しています。大切な作品や資料が、変換によってその価値を損なうことのないよう、最適な形でARTファイルとして生まれ変わるお手伝いをいたします。

  • 漫画・アニメ制作の最終出力
  • ビジネス文書の高品質印刷
  • 縦書きレイアウトの保持

ART形式は、特に日本の印刷業界において、PostScriptの代替として高品質な印刷を保証するために重要視されることがあります。縦書きのテキストや複雑な組版デザインの正確な再現が求められる際に、その特性が活かされます。

About XCF (GIMP) to ART Conversion

Short answer: yes, you can convert XCF to ART online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .xcf file to CocoConvert, pick ART as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.

Now for the details. XCF is GIMP's native image format, retaining layers and editing information. ART is a widely used file format. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.

Your XCF file is decoded and re-encoded as ART. Converting XCF to ART maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.

CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.

Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.
