Convert XCF to PNG ANIMATED

The XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) file extension is the native image format of the GIMP image-editing program. It stores comprehensive image data, including layers, channels, transparency, paths, and guides, facilitating non-destructive editing. Developed by GIMP, XCF ensures all editing information is preserved, allowing users to revert to any editing stage. While primarily used within GIMP, some other programs also support XCF files.

Animated PNG is a file extension for animated raster graphics. Developed as an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format, Animated PNG allows for animation while maintaining PNG's lossless compression and transparency features. Introduced by Mozilla in 2004, it initially garnered limited support but gained traction for its compatibility and efficiency. Animated PNG is ideal for web usage, offering animation without the substantial file size of GIFs, making it suitable for high-quality web animations and UI elements.
