What is GIMP?

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free, open-source raster graphics editor available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Originally created in 1995 by Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis, GIMP has grown into one of the most capable free image editors available. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License, meaning anyone can use, modify, and redistribute it at no cost.

The current stable release, GIMP 3.2.4, includes better GEGL integration for high color-depth processing, improved layer effects, enhanced tablet support, and a refreshed plugin API that makes building extensions easier than ever.

Who Uses GIMP?

GIMP is used by millions of people worldwide - From hobbyist photographers to professional graphic designers and web developers. It is especially popular in education and in organizations where commercial software licenses are not practical. If you're evaluating whether to switch from paid tools, our GIMP vs Photoshop comparison covers the key differences in features, workflow, and cost.

GIMP handles photo retouching and color correction, digital painting, background removal, compositing with layer masks, and batch automation via Script-Fu — making it a versatile tool for both casual and professional work.

Is GIMP Really Free?

Yes, completely. GIMP has no trial period, no watermarks, and no premium tier. It is maintained by volunteers and funded in part through the GNOME Foundation. Download the latest version for Windows, macOS, or Linux at no cost.
