Convert XCF files for sharing, publishing or compatibility

XCF is GIMP's native binary image project format, storing layered raster data along with channels, masks, selections, paths, guides and other editing metadata rather than a single flattened bitmap. Because XCF is designed for preserving GIMP edit state, many image viewers, upload forms, office apps and print workflows cannot interpret its layer structure or metadata consistently. Converting an XCF file exports the visual result into a standard raster or document format, flattening or preserving transparency as needed so the image can be displayed, embedded, uploaded or archived outside GIMP.
