eXperimental Computing Facility (.xcf)

The XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) file extension is the native image format of the GIMP image-editing program. It stores comprehensive image data, including layers, channels, transparency, paths, and guides, facilitating non-destructive editing. Developed by GIMP, XCF ensures all editing information is preserved, allowing users to revert to any editing stage. While primarily used within GIMP, some other programs also support XCF files.
