What is an XCF file?
An XCF file is the native image format of GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It stores full project data — including layers, channels, paths, guides, selections, and undo history — preserving all editing capabilities for future work. XCF is lossless and designed for maximum fidelity in GIMP workflows.

 

What is an XCF file used for?

  • Saving editable GIMP projects (like PSD for Photoshop)
  • Archiving layered artwork with full non-destructive editing
  • Collaborating on open-source design projects
  • Preparing graphics for web, print, or animation
 

How to open an XCF file?

  • GIMP (full support — official format)
  • Inkscape (import as bitmap — layers flatten)
  • Krita (partial layer support in newer versions)
  • XnView MP, IrfanView (raster preview only)
  • Online: Convert via CloudConvert, Zamzar → PNG/JPG
 

Is an XCF file an image file?
Yes — but a layered project file, not a flat image. Requires GIMP for full editing.
