About GIMP

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, a free and open source image editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Photographers, designers, and illustrators use it to retouch photos, composite images, and create graphics without relying on proprietary software.

It offers layers and masks, customizable brushes, and a deep set of color correction and retouching tools. You can reshape the interface with GTK themes, GIMP-specific CSS, and your own keyboard shortcuts to fit the way you work.

GIMP can be extended with plug-ins and scripts, letting you automate repetitive tasks or add entirely new capabilities. Developed under the GNOME project, it is free software under the GNU GPL.
