XCF is GIMP's native file format, saving all layers, channels, and editing state. To share a GIMP project, you need to export it — but GIMP can be slow and complex. PixelForge converts XCF to PNG, JPG, WebP, or any format directly in your browser, fast and free.
XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) is the native file format of GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), the free and open-source Photoshop alternative. XCF files store all GIMP project data including layers, layer groups, channels, paths, guides, and color profiles. XCF files can only be opened natively in GIMP, though Inkscape and some other tools have limited support.
