- 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.
- This format is a vector images file in the Sketch Drawing program, which serves to edit and create interface designs, applications and software shells. SK-files contain objects and layers which can be edited independently of each other.
