Questions
How do I open a .xcf file without paid software?
Open Madosuite in your browser, upload the file in Files, and open it with Photo. It is free.
Can I edit it and save it again?
You can edit it, then save it as PSD, TIFF, ORA, PNG. Photo does not write .xcf itself.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It goes into the Linux machine that Madosuite runs in your browser, on your device.
Will it look the same?
Photo reads .xcf with its layers, then saves PSD, layered TIFF or OpenRaster (.ora), which GIMP opens too.
Is Madosuite free?
Yes. The apps run on your own device, in the browser tab, so there is no server time to pay for. There is no trial period.
