- 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.
- Created by JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group), JBG is a lossless file format that contains both colored and monochrome images. Commonly used to compress fax images, and it has better compression than G3 and G4 compression codecs.
