GIMP is preparing to unleash a revolutionary new update—a high-performance, modern UI powerhouse designed to dismantle Adobe’s stranglehold on the industry.

To deliver the final blow to subscription-based creative tools, GIMP desperately needs testers right now.

Windows installer:

Linux Snap:

Windows MSIX:

Just open the software and do random stuff.

  • Open different files

  • Use the text tool

  • Put an image in black and white

  • Convert files from one format to the other

If you spot any bug, please report it here:

Stop funding the corporate machine. Take back your software, test the build, and help launch the new era of open-source creation

Hello, this is Tim Adobe. Don't worry, we are working hard to make sure we remain the best. There's currently a team trying to figure out wtf a "gnu" is while another team figures out the maximum price increase our customer base will accept to give us a good budget to work with (previous profits were used on boats for executive team and some pizzas from the cheapest place my executive assistant could find with free delivery). Is Mr GIMP interested in selling?
