What is a XCF file?

XCF or eXperimental Computing Facility is an image format developed by GIMP, an open-source image editor. Because of frequent format revisions, XCF is not recommended as a data-interchange format. XCF format supports layers, channels, transparency, and even paths and guides. However, XCF doesn’t support the undo option for saving history. The compression used for this format is with the RLE algorithm. To open and edit XCF format with other applications rather than GIMP is limited and challenging but not impossible. Image editors such as XnView, Inkscape, IrfanView, Paint.NET, DBGallery, etc., offer partial viewing and modifying of XCF files.

What is a GIF file?

GIF or Graphical Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that was introduced back in 1987 by CompuServe. Even though GIF supports only 256 colors, it has significant usability on the web because it is portable and compatible with different platforms. GIFs are mostly used on websites for banners, header images, buttons, etc. Because GIF is a lossless format with LZW compression method, the image quality doesn’t deteriorate with reduced image size. Since most web browsers can open GIF files, it is easy enough to view them. However, to edit the GIF file, you’ll need apps such as Corel Draw, Photoshop Illustrator, OmniPage Ultimate, GIMP, etc.
