What happens to your data
Kept
- All visible layers are merged into one picture, exactly as GIMP shows the image
- Saved as WebP at quality 80, usually much smaller than JPG or PNG at the same look
- Transparency is kept
Good to know
- Layers, paths and text are flattened, so the result cannot be edited as layers.
- Files saved by very new GIMP versions (3.x) may not open yet.
- Very old software and some printers cannot open WebP. Use JPG or PNG there.

XCF vs WEBP
XCF
An XCF file is a GIMP project. It keeps every layer so a design stays editable, which means only GIMP opens it properly. Converting it gives you the visible layers merged into one normal image, the same as exporting from GIMP. Only 8-bit XCF files are supported.

WEBP
A WebP file is a modern image format from Google that compresses smaller than JPG or PNG at the same quality, while supporting both lossy and lossless modes plus transparency. It's now the format most websites serve automatically to speed up page loads.
Used in: Modern websites · Faster page loads · Automatic image optimization
