- 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.
- PNS is a file type used for storing stereoscopic or 3D images in the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format. It is a combination of two side-by-side PNG images, giving the visual effect of depth or 3D when viewed in 3D glasses.
