What is a XCF file?
XCF is the native file format of GIMP, a free image editor. It preserves layers, transparency, masks, paths, and other editing data, similar to Photoshop's PSD format.
XCF is useful for storing complex image projects before exporting to standard formats.
How to open XCF files
XCF files can be opened and edited using GIMP. There are few third-party tools that support this format directly, so conversion is often necessary for broader use.
AnyConv helps convert XCF to PNG, JPG, or other formats online with no setup.

What is a JPG file?
JPG (or JPEG) stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the team that created the standard back in the early 1990s. It’s one of the most common image formats in the world, known for compressing digital photos while retaining acceptable quality.
JPG uses lossy compression, which means some image data is discarded during saving. This makes JPG files smaller, ideal for web use, email, and social sharing — but less ideal for images that require fine detail or multiple edits.
How to open JPG files
JPG files can be opened on virtually any device — Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux — using default apps like Photos, Preview, or third-party software such as Photoshop and GIMP. Even web browsers can display JPGs natively.
This universal support makes JPG the go-to format for photography, online graphics, and digital documents.
