Frequently Asked Questions

What is an XCF file?
XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) is the native file format for GIMP, a free image editing software. XCF files can store multiple layers, channels, paths, and other editing information that JPG cannot preserve.
Will my layers be preserved?
No, JPG format does not support layers. All layers in your XCF file will be flattened (merged) into a single image. If you need to preserve layers, keep your original XCF file or export to a format like PNG or TIFF that supports layers.
What happens to transparency?
JPG format does not support transparency. Transparent areas in your XCF file will be converted to a white background in the JPG output. If you need transparency, consider converting to PNG instead.
What quality should I use?
For best quality photos, use 95% (default). For web images or smaller file sizes, 75-85% is usually sufficient. Lower quality (50-65%) should only be used when file size is critical and some quality loss is acceptable.
Can I convert XCF files with complex features?
Basic XCF files with standard layers convert well. However, very advanced GIMP features (like certain filters, text layers with special effects, or complex layer modes) may not convert perfectly. The converter will attempt to flatten the visible result to the best of its ability.
What is the maximum file size?
The maximum file size is 50MB. Most XCF files are well under this limit. Very large XCF files with many high-resolution layers may approach this limit.
Are my files secure?
Yes, all file processing happens securely on our servers. Files are processed immediately and are not stored permanently. We prioritize your privacy and security.
