What is the difference between .xcf and .vip?

Name: GIMP Image; Pfaff Embroidery Format
Extension: .xcf; .vip
Format: Binary
Category: Raster Image; Embroidery
Developer: GIMP; Pfaff
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.; VIP files are embroidery designs for Pfaff sewing and embroidery machines. They hold the stitches, jumps, trims and thread colours of a design.

What a conversion keeps

Stitches: Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours: Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops: Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering: Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
