The xcf file extension is related to a special bitmap format used in GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a freely distributed image editing program.
XCF is the default bitmap image file format of GIMP.
XCF stands for "eXperimental Computing Facility". This format is not meant for data interchange and should be converted to more common bitmap formats.
