File format information for XCF and PNG

Extension	XCF
Full Name	GIMP - eXperimental Computing Facility
Type	Image
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

XCF files are the native file format of the GIMP image editing software and, as such, have been designed to store all the image data and editing features of the GIMP software.

These features include images, layers, paths, alpha channels, and other image-related metadata. The size of an XCF file tends to become rather large when working on large images. This is due to the format saving all data in a non-lossy format to ensure no detail is lost during saves.

As XCF files are native to the GIMP software, support for editing them using other image editing software is limited, and GIMP is the recommended software to edit these files. Our range of XCF file converters will attempt to convert these files to most other image formats.

Extension	PNG
Full Name	Portable Network Graphics
Type	Image
Mime Type	image/png
Format	Binary
Opens With	Paint.Net, Photoshop

PNG files are a widely used graphics file format used in areas where high-quality images (often with transparency) are required while also retaining a small file size. They are one of the most common formats of file used for web and print mediums and are particularly useful for logos, icons, and other images where multi-level transparency is desired.

The format itself was created in the 1990's with the main aim of storing computer graphics in a high-quality format while minimizing the required storage space. The longer-term aim was to displace the GIF file format and make PNG the number one format for non-lossy, high-quality image formats on the then-burgeoning world wide web.

One of the selling points of the PNG format is its support for multiple levels of transparency, making it superior to the GIF format, which can only handle a single level of transparency. Also, like GIFs, the PNG format supports palletizing image colours down to 256 or 16 colours to help reduce the file size of the PNG.
