- Description
- The XCF file format is the native image format used by GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks. XCF stands for eXperimental Computing Facility, which was the name of the lab where GIMP was originally developed. XCF files are designed to store all the information that GIMP needs to accurately render an image.
- An ALS file is an image created with Alias SketchBook Pro, a painting and drawing application for mobile devices and computers. It contains a drawing created with the software, which may include layers, colors, text, and images. ALS files also store additional information about the drawing such as the name of the author.
