## Overview

The sRGB to XYZ Converter is a precise utility designed for color management professionals to transform standard sRGB color values into the CIE XYZ color space. It supports various input formats, including hex codes and RGB/RGBA strings, while providing flexible options for handling transparency through alpha channel compositing.

## Inputs

- **sRGB Input** (textarea): Enter sRGB values, one per line: srgb(255,0,128) srgba(255,0,128,0.5) rgb(255,0,128) rgba(255,0,128,0.5) 255,0,128 255,0,128,0.5 R:255 G:0 B:128 R:255 G:0 B:128 A:0.5 #FF0080 #FF008080 ff0080 ff008080
- **Output Format** (select)
- **Alpha Channel Handling** (select)
- **Custom Background Color** (color): Custom background color for alpha compositing (used when Custom Background is selected)

## When to use

- When preparing color profiles for device-independent color management systems.
- When you need to convert web-standard sRGB colors for scientific or printing applications.
- When working with semi-transparent colors that require flattening against a specific background color.

## How it works

- Paste your sRGB, RGBA, or hex color values into the input area, one per line.
- Select your preferred output format, such as standard XYZ notation or CSS-compatible syntax.
- Choose an alpha channel handling method to composite transparency against a white, black, or custom background.
- Click convert to generate the precise XYZ color coordinates.

## Use cases

- Standardizing brand colors for cross-platform print and digital production.
- Calculating color values for hardware-level display calibration.
- Converting web design assets into device-independent color data for software development.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between sRGB and XYZ?

sRGB is a device-dependent color space used for displays, while XYZ is a device-independent color space defined by the CIE to represent all colors visible to the human eye.

### How does the tool handle alpha channels?

The tool composites the transparent color over a chosen background (white, black, or custom) to calculate the resulting opaque XYZ values.

### Can I convert multiple colors at once?

Yes, you can enter multiple color values separated by new lines, and the tool will process them in a single batch.

### Which input formats are supported?

The tool accepts standard CSS formats like #FF0080, rgb(255,0,128), rgba(255,0,128,0.5), and simple comma-separated values.

### Is the conversion accurate for color management?

Yes, the tool uses standard mathematical transformations to ensure high precision for professional color workflows.
