- 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 sk2 file type is a vector graphic format created by the sK1 open source vector graphics editor. It is an extension of the sk1 format and is used to store vector graphics and images. The sk2 file format supports layers, masking, transparency, and other advanced features.
