- 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.
- BFL (BFLI) is a binary file format used by the Binary File Library (BFL) library for storing binary data. It stores data in a compressed format and can be used for storing large amounts of data in a single file. BFLI files are cross-platform compatible.
