- 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.
- The kwd file type is associated with KWord, a word processing and desktop publishing application that was part of the KOffice suite primarily for Linux and UNIX-like operating systems. KWord documents, denoted by the .kwd extension, incorporate text, images, and formatting into a single file, allowing users to create professional-looking documents. KWord supported a wide range of features including templates, styles, frames, and more, making it a versatile tool for various document creation needs.
