What is a HEIC file?
The Moving Picture Experts Group introduced HEIC format in 2015. The primary purpose of HEIC files is as their name implies High-Efficiency Image Format/Container to save space with storing images and image sequences in smaller file sizes. HEIC format has an advanced compression algorithm that provides up to 50% smaller image size while maintaining image quality. Also, HEIC images have a 16-bit tonal range that ensures the vibrant color palette. In comparison to other digital image formats, HEIC has a real perspective to become the most popular image format. However, HEIC files are not compatible with most operating systems natively, which creates obstacles on its way to popularity. Some of the operating systems that support HEIC format are Apple iOS 11 and later, Mac High Sierra and later, Google’s Android P, etc.
What is a XCF file?
XCF or eXperimental Computing Facility is an image format developed by GIMP, an open-source image editor. Because of frequent format revisions, XCF is not recommended as a data-interchange format. XCF format supports layers, channels, transparency, and even paths and guides. However, XCF doesn’t support the undo option for saving history. The compression used for this format is with the RLE algorithm. To open and edit XCF format with other applications rather than GIMP is limited and challenging but not impossible. Image editors such as XnView, Inkscape, IrfanView, Paint.NET, DBGallery, etc., offer partial viewing and modifying of XCF files.
