About XCF files
XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) file types are a native file format used by the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) for storing and editing images. XCF files are uncompressed and contain all the data necessary for editing the image, including layers, channels, paths, and guides. While XCF files are great for editing, they are not ideal for sharing or displaying images. This is because they are not widely supported by other applications, and they are not suitable for web use due to their large file size.
To convert XCF files to other formats, you can use GIMP itself. GIMP can export XCF files to a variety of formats, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and GIF. You can also use other software for conversion, such as Inkscape and GraphicsMagick. However, converting XCF files can be challenging due to their complex structure and the fact that they are not widely supported by other applications.
Due to the challenges of converting XCF files, it is often easier to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert XCF files. Convert.Guru supports a variety of formats, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and GIF, and it is easy to use. Additionally, Convert.Guru offers a variety of features, such as the ability to resize and crop images, add text and watermarks, and more.
The XCF Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best XCF converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
