Converting XCF to JPG: what to know
XCF is the working format of the GIMP editor. It is converted to JPG to send or publish the result for someone who doesn't have GIMP: a JPG opens on any device.
The layers are flattened into one image. Blend modes other than normal are not applied: if they matter, export the image from GIMP itself.
The default JPG quality is 75 out of 100. Transparent areas are filled with white; you can pick the background color in the settings.
XCF or JPG: 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.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPG is the most widely supported photo format: small files thanks to lossy compression, but no transparency.
Best for photos and images for the web, email and messengers where compatibility and size matter most.
What happens when converting XCF to JPG
JPG uses lossy compression. The default quality is 75 out of 100: lower values make the file smaller, higher values keep more detail.
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.
