- 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.
- The ATK (Andrew Toolkit raster object) file type is a raster image format used by the Andrew Toolkit, a graphical user interface development system developed by Carnegie Mellon University. ATK files store both vector and bitmap graphics and are used to create graphical user interfaces for applications.
