Free and open-source raster image editor with extensive tools for painting, retouching, and photo manipulation.
Why you might care
GIMP is a powerful, completely free alternative to Photoshop that runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It's ideal for designers and photographers who want professional-grade editing without subscription costs, though it has a steeper learning curve and fewer AI-assisted features than modern commercial alternatives.
