- 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.
- AT&T Group 4 is a file format used for compressing high-resolution data. It is most commonly used for storing images such as TIFFs, JPEGs, and GIFs. The format is lossless, meaning that no data is lost during compression.
