Revision as of 02:57, 28 December 2023 by Dexvertbot (Talk | contribs)
XCF is the native file format for GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It supports all the possible information about an image, including layers and transparency, except for undo information[1].
An XCF file may be compressed using gzip or bzip2 format. Such files usually use extension .xcf.gz, .xcfgz, .xcf.bz2, or .xcfbz2.
See GIMP for additional GIMP formats and information.
