- 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.
- A still image stored in a HEIF container with the pixels coded as AVC (H.264) instead of HEVC, under the 'avci' brand of the AVC Image File Format (ISO/IEC 23008-12). The container is the same one as .heic; only the codec inside differs.
