CFF to PCD conversion is the process of transforming files in the CFF (Common File Format) container into PCD (Photo CD) image format so they can be used by legacy Photo CD viewers or workflows that require PCD-encoded raster images. The conversion typically extracts raster image frames or embedded bitmaps from the CFF package and re-encodes them into the PCD format, preserving color space and resolution where possible.

CFF files are typically used for specific compressed font formats, while PCD files often consist of point cloud data or photographic data types. The PCD format generally offers greater flexibility and compatibility across various platforms compared to CFF. Choosing to convert from CFF to PCD allows users to leverage the advanced features supported by PCD files.
Keep individual CFF files under 50–200 MB when possible to speed conversion and avoid memory issues; very large multi-frame CFF archives are slower to process.
To preserve image quality, choose a high-quality PCD encoding option and keep embedded ICC color profiles during conversion when available.
For many files, batch conversion is supported; process files in groups of 10–50 to balance throughput and system resource use.
Be aware that PCD is an older photo format with limited modern feature support (no alpha channel, limited metadata handling); expect some metadata loss or color adjustments.
