- 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.
- APX is a file format created by the graphics editing software Ability Photopaint. It is used to store images and graphic elements created with the program and can be exported to other file formats such as JPG, PNG, TIFF, and BMP.
