XCF to BMP
File Converter

XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) is the native image format of the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) software. It is a layered image format, allowing users to save their progress, layers, channels, paths, and text layers for further editing. While XCF retains all editing data and layers, it's not typically used for web or print because many other programs do not recognize it. Instead, it's primarily used to save intermediate stages of digital art or photo editing within GIMP.

BMP (Bitmap Image File) is an image file format developed by Microsoft, commonly used for storing two-dimensional digital images in a wide range of color depths. While BMP files are capable of storing detailed images without any compression—preserving the original quality—they often result in large file sizes, making them less ideal for web usage or sharing.
