How to Save and Export an Image

While you are working on your image, we recommend you use XCF format to save it. This format saves everything, such as layers, so that you can easily modify any part of an image later.

Once you are done with your image, we recommend you save it using XCF format, and in addition, we recommend you export the image to a more popular format like JPG or PNG.

In order to export an image, follow the menus “File” -> “Export As”. In the dialog, you edit the filename and extension directly, and then click the button “Export”.
