XCF Editor

XCF Editor is a web-based tool designed to open and edit GIMP's XCF files with multi-layer support. It targets photographers, designers, and teams who need quick, reproducible edits without desktop software. By maintaining the underlying layer structure and masks, it enables precise adjustments across complex composites.
Core capabilities include non-destructive layer operations (visibility toggling, reordering, grouping, blend modes, and opacity adjustments) and color corrections, crops, and basic filters. Edits are applied non-destructively and preserved across exports. Export presets support PNG, JPEG, and WebP, with optional resizing and quality settings.
The tool reads the XCF format, reconstructs the layer tree, and exports the final raster image while preserving essential data such as layer visibility and masks.
Use cases include preparing client-ready proofs from layered composites, converting XCF projects to web-friendly formats, or sharing edit histories for review. The tool's value lies in reliability, accessibility, and consistent results across devices.
Unique value is in preserving layer-level data, masks, and basic adjustment histories while offering a scalable, web-based workflow. It supports mid-size projects with robust error handling for missing or corrupted XCF files and provides guidance for large files.
