- 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 PXS file format is associated with Pegs, a type of digital drawing and animation software primarily used for creating pixel art and animations. It serves as the project file format for the Pegs software, encapsulating all the information and resources such as layers, colors, and animation frames that are part of a user's project. Users can save their work in this format to preserve their progress and facilitate the sharing of projects with others. The PXS format enables artists to reopen their projects in Pegs for further editing, revisions, or to export their creations into various image or animation formats.
