- 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 SXW file format is associated with StarOffice Writer, a word processing application that was part of the StarOffice suite developed by Sun Microsystems. The SXW file type was primarily used to save text documents that could include formatted text, images, tables, and other document elements. StarOffice served as a precursor to the more widely known OpenOffice.org suite, which later evolved into Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice, among others.
