A .xcf extension file is a Raster image file format that is used by the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freeware image editing software application that has features similar to Adobe Photoshop. These features include the easy selection of layers, channels, transparencies, paths and guides. It facilitates saving of the edited versions of the images and storing the current position at the time of saving, layers, channels, paths and other items used at the time of editing the image. The image data is saved in the file by compressing it with the use of a simple RLE algorithm, and all those settings can be accessed again to edit the image when the XCF file is opened in a compatible image editor.
The .tga filename extension refers to the Truevision raster graphics file format. It is a graphics format that was developed by Truevision incorporated in 1984, a company which was later acquired by Avid Technology. The company was known for developing computer daughter boards designed for digital video authoring and editing. These boards used the Truevision TGA format natively for digital video editing and were supported by both PC and Macintosh at the time.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for XCF to TGA conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload XCF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized TGA results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent TGA audio with dependable progress tracking.
The XCF format is both backwards and forward compatible which means that files created in a new version can be opened in all older versions of GIMP and vice versa. Generally, an XCF file describes a stack of layers and channels on a canvas that is just an abstract rectangular viewport for the layers and channels.
Files stored with the .tga filename extension support pixel resolutions of between 8 and 32 bits. Image data can be either RAW or compressed using the simple but effective lossless compression algorithm RLE. A .tga file contains in its structure a header block and an information block that has the color pixel information, image type, and color map specification. Memory utilization in this format is governed by little endian given the fact that the daughter boards originally communicated over IBM's ISA interface.
Upload your image file in the XCF format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select TGA as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted image file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
