XCFファイルは、GIMPで作成された多層画像データの宝庫です。しかし、ウェブサイトへの掲載、ビジネス文書への挿入、あるいは他の多くのグラフィックソフトウェアでの利用を考えた際、透過情報を持つ標準的な画像形式への変換が求められることが少なくありません。特に、日本のデザイン現場では、Webサイトの高速表示や、印刷物の色空間管理の観点から、透過情報を保持しつつ汎用性の高いRGBA形式への変換は日常的に発生します。この変換作業は、単に形式を変えるだけでなく、元データの色彩や透明度を正確に次へと引き継ぐための大切な工程です。当社の変換ツールは、お客様の貴重なXCFデータを、品質を損なうことなく、瞬時にRGBA形式へと最適化します。

日本のデザイン業界では、XCFの多層構造を活かしつつ、最終出力は透過PNG（RGBA）で納品するケースが多く、特にWeb用途での需要が高いです。
