PPT at a glance

PPT

PPT belongs to the older binary PowerPoint lineage that later gave way to package-based PPTX, but it remains part of presentation history and corporate archives.

XCF at a glance

XCF

XCF reflects the long history of GIMP as an open-source raster editor with its own native document model rather than as a lightweight clone of consumer image viewers.
