XCF to PNG
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.

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics, and it is a popular raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for GIF, and is the most used lossless image compression format on the Internet. It supports a range of colors, including full-color and grayscale images, and also supports transparency, making it suitable for graphics, logos, and detailed artwork.
