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.
