- 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.
- FODG (Flat XML ODF Drawing) is an XML-based file format used for storing vector graphic drawings, commonly used in programs such as LibreOffice Draw. It is a zipped archive that contains XML files and other resources, such as images and fonts, used in the drawing.
