Converting XCF to PNG: what to know
XCF is the working format of the GIMP editor. It is converted to PNG to get a finished image with a transparent background that any browser and editor can open.
The layers are flattened into one image losslessly, and transparency is kept. Blend modes other than normal are not applied: if they matter, export the image from GIMP itself.
XCF or PNG: which to choose?
XCF (GIMP working format)
XCF is the native format of the GIMP editor, used to save a project for further editing.
Best for GIMP projects you need to come back to for editing.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
PNG stores images without quality loss and supports transparency, but photos in PNG are large.
Best for screenshots, logos, diagrams and any images with transparency or sharp text.
What happens when converting XCF to PNG
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
XCF files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
