I can confidently say that it helped our group achieve professional-level marketing results and improve product photography. Thus, I would recommend the program to graphic designers and photographers with extensive experience. Pros I had the opportunity to use GIMP as a Marketing Executive Intern for Hackett & Hackett International Group Limited. I had many reasons to like the software, but the most notable one was that it is free, open source and runs on various platforms. Firstly, speaking of strengths, I should mention that GIMP has an impressive set of Image Editing Tools (cropping, resizing, colour correction, image restoration), as well as non-destructive editing options (layers, masks, blend modes, opacity). Cons However, I also have some cons to discuss. For one, GIMP has a rather complicated interface, which is especially challenging for novices. Secondly, it is somewhat outdated and does not support many modern technologies. Additionally, its compatibility with various operating systems is limited. Moreover, one essential downside of GIMP is that it recognises only RGB image mode while ignoring CMYK and other modes. There are also limited professional design tools, such as smart objects, AI-powered photo editing and cloud collaboration.

Pros Gimp is the most reliable replacement for Adobe photoshop! There's nothing that comes close. And it works on linux ;) Cons The UI is quite clunky compared to photoshop, although I appreciate that they attempt to emulate most of the original features. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Gimp was cheaper than Adobe Photoshop. Adobe has terrible plans. Review Source TA Tabarak A.

Cropping, colour tweaks, and a sprinkle of filters run along nicely, and stacking layers costs me nothing but a click. Cons Big files are another story. Throw a hefty blur or glow at them and the progress bar begins to crawl, while tool panels crowd the screen like chatty neighbours. Review Source Aneesa A. UI UX Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software to use" July 4, 2026 4.0 Overall, it's great software to use, especially if you're learning to manipulate images and it's easy to use and straightforward Pros What I like most about GIMP is that it really helped me gain experience in manipulating images and playing around with the software Cons What I least liked about GIMP is that it takes a while for the software to load and it can make my laptop sound like it's about to take off when I use it Review Source DF Daniel F. Solutions Engineer Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GIMP review from a developer" August 28, 2025 5.0 GIMP was a great software that allowed me to have a free option rather than paying for a program like Photoshop. I was able to create a project with many layers and resize the layers as needed. Pros I used GIMP as a free option instead of Photoshop and I was quite pleased. I was able to create an image project with many layers and resize the layers as needed. Cons It was a bit tricky to figure out how to be able to move the different layers as needed. I just had to play around with the software options to figure it out.

Pros GIMP was a great software to use in my early days of designing. It's broad range of tools and ease of use made it possible to create assets quickly and simply, as well as exporting them. Cons my main concern was the quality of this images when they were exported. When images were angled, they'd come out a little blurry and not as high resolution as i hoped. This made it challenging when the assets in question were texted base or included small details that i would have liked to be noticable. Review Source JT Joe T.

Its a fantastic bit of design software. Pros Its free to download and works a treat. Has lots of different options for design, and can be used for complexed tasks . Cons There really is nothing to complain about to be honest - if im being picky I would say the interface needs a nice refresh but thats it!. Review Source KB Kate B.

October 15, 2025 4.0 GIMP allowed White Pine Photography to create logos, photo editing, and branded content on a low budget, enhancing client work and studio advertising with robust editing capabilities. Pros Free, adaptive design and graphics creation abilities of GIMP and slim design, along with quick rendering of intuitive controls, all allow photographers to produce content and manipulate images without cost. Cons Others say customer support may be slower to answer and deal with payment-related features or extensions could require technical expertise not best suited for active freelance studios.

Cons The user interface is completely different from industry standards and feels quite austere, even confusing, for a designer accustomed to commercial suites. Review Source RA Rama A. Freelance Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Saftware GIMP" December 2, 2025 5.0 I don’t use GIMP daily, but whenever I revisit it for specific tasks, it adjusts well and remains surprisingly flexible for a free tool. Pros It handles photo retouching, color correction, and quick image edits without any cost. For designers starting out or working on lightweight edits, it’s a solid alternative. I appreciate the transparency tools and how customizable the interface is. Cons The learning curve is steeper than expected, mainly because the interface isn’t as intuitive as paid solutions. Some tools also feel slower or less refined. Review Source BM BONNIE M. Owner Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Try It...I dare you!" December 3, 2024 5.0 I actually really like the program, and I REALLY like the price! Gimp makes editing photos fun and makes my design process much easier. Pros Gimp is a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop! I did use Adobe Photoshop but to renew was expensive. After looking at cheaper alternatives, I went with Gimp. It has every feature that I have needed and I can export to many different file format. I use this in combination with my vector programs and you won't find a better deal with as many features as Gimp. There is also a wide array of tutorials to be found online. If you need a photo editor and don't want to spend alot, this is the program to try. Cons It took a little bit to learn some of the features, but you can find numerous videos on how to use different features. It was no worse than learning to use Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.

It is our go to application for graphics manipulation and everytime we need to edit or create an image from scratch, this is where we go for. Pros The ease of use and installation make GIMP a no brainer for a small design studio like ours. It is very similar to the Adobe Photoshop Suite, lacking some resources but still very strong for daily tasks. Cons The lack of resources would be the most negative part, but there are many workarounds combining other free softwares like Krita and Inkscape that make it well worth a try. The investment is time to learn and get comfortable at using it. Alternatives considered [Affinity Photo](https://www.capterra.com/p/228748/Affinity-Photo/) Reason for choosing GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) The 0 price tag was what won us here. Affinity Suite is very good and I use it for personal projects but at the Studio we use GIMP as our main Image Manipulation Software. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) It is just better for our workflow as we can all use at the same time in the studio with a free license. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best free alternative to PS" March 19, 2024 4.0 Although it took me some time to master, after I was comfortable with it I was pretty happy with the flow. The fact that I am not tied up to a monthly (very high) fee is a pretty nice incentive to learn the software and keep using it. It is compatible and the files can be opened in other apps. It lacks some Photoshop features, especially some late introductions in the last updates, but the price alone makes it better to use Gimp and complement with other software than to pay Adobe fees. Pros It's a free software that does pretty much all the things that need to be done in Photoshop. It doesn't demand as much resources from the PC as Photoshop does and it is more compatible with my graphic cards (which is frequently crashing when using Photoshop). Gimp doesn't crash. It has a big community behind it so it is very easy to find help with small issues. Since it is a very integral software there is no need to go outside to solve issues with the projects, everything I need can be done with it. Cons It is hard to make the switch if you have been a Photoshop user for years, like me. I work a lot with keyboard shortcuts and they are mostly different, so for me the learning curve was very slow and frustrating. The software is not intuitive either, and the interface is not very pretty. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Adobe has become too expensive, unfortunately. Review Source MV Misty V. IT Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Don't under estimate GIMP!" January 18, 2024 5.0 I love this software overall. It's easy to install and run with multiple processes at one time it doesn't cause issues like I have had with others in the past. You do not have to have a high-end pc or macbook pro to get started with GIMP. Pros This is an amazing tool compared to the others on the market. This ran with ease on my PC and didn't cause me any issues. They send out updates and offer tons of documentation. The software is great for beginners or professionals. It runs on macOS and Windows while not requiring too many specs. HIGHLY recommend Cons The overall GUI interface feels outdated it could use a modern revamp. Alternatives considered [Adobe Express](https://www.capterra.com/p/174232/adobe-express/)[Adobe After Effects](https://www.capterra.com/p/233259/Adobe-After-Effects/) Reason for choosing GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) I went with a free trial at first and then when using it finding the tools to be everything I needed and no other issues with running multiple software at the same time when I moved forward with the pro license. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) The Adobe tools were causing my laptop to overheat or crash services I had running. Also, the price was way better and more practical. Review Source AK Anthony K. Head of E-commerce Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best image editing software" April 4, 2025 5.0 It's always my first choice when I need to edit images Pros This is by far the best free image editor I've ever used. Cons Occasional updates move around useful tools Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Service Delivery Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GIMP: Not Photoshop, but Exceptional" December 10, 2024 5.0 Overall it has always met all of my image manipulation needs. When I've had to modify logos, edit photos, create web content, and similar functions, it's always been a solid choice and it's free to use. Maybe it's not for someone who is an advanced designer or UI/UX person, but for a robust and free tool for most image manipulation needs, it's great. Pros GIMP is a robust image editing tool comparable to the likes of Photoshop (I know the Photoshop fans in the world will grind their teeth at that, but from my perspective it's fact). Full set of features for all the image manipulation I've ever needed, bearing in mind I have not been a graphic designer or anything like that. My needs have always been around internal company marketing, or application design, never a full blown marketing design firm or anything like that. Cons Some things are not as intuitive as I'd like, but it is a complex program with a lot of features, therefore it takes some time to learn where everything is and how to get things done, workflows, etc. Review Source Alex G. Director Of Business Development Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best software with mind-blowing features" September 10, 2024 4.0 It is a mind-blowing software. It is enriched with wonderful and robust features. There are so many superb tools which facilitates users in making any kind of customization. It is very much compatible with various file formats. GIMP is equally benefiting graphic designers, photographers, and digital artists. Pros It is free of cost. Another amazing thing about it is that it is open-source. It saves money that you would have to spend to buy a subscription. For image editing, there are a variety of interesting tools. Its customizable interface is really fascinating. The thing which made me its biggest fan is that it keeps on updating frequently and always come with latest features that almost meet all users' needs. Cons The only drawback is that for beginners the learning curve is quite steep. Some plugins fail compatibility with the latest version. It needs to be more polished.

This means users can download and use it without the need to pay for expensive software. Cons Limited Automation Capabilities: While GIMP supports scripting and plugins, its automation capabilities may be more limited compared to other editing software. There may be restrictions on what can be achieved through programming and customization. Review Source Vernessa T. Freelance Writer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GIMP is No Wimp! A Solid Choice for Graphics Work; Robust Toolset Rivals Commercial Counterparts" August 12, 2018 4.0 Overall, GIMP is a fine open source replacement for PhotoShop and some of the other expensive creative suites. For a layperson who occasionally designs a banner or image for their website, GIMP is probably overkill and downright daunting. But for a graphics design artist or someone who likes to dabble, the toolset is robust, with elements to rival its commercial counterparts. I don't mind dabbling and doing my own simple graphics. As an open source proponent, I like using tools that give you the freedom to do with them as you please. For example, I use GIMP on both Windows and Linux platforms. GIMP has been a staple in my toolchest for many years. Its a solid choice for heavier graphics work; I use it alongside simpler tools (like screenshot utilities) and in conjunction with snazzier tools like Canva. Pros powerful punch: The GNU Image Manipulation Program.) GIMP is software you install on your computer. To my knowledge there is no SaaS (online software-as-a-service) counterpart. As a regular Linux user one huge benefit for me is that GIMP was initially created for the Linux environment. But unlike many Linux programs, GIMP has a true Windows version that is not poorly ported over. It's as elegant on Windows as it is on Linux. There are no penalties for installing GIMP on each and every computer you own and I've never encountered problems when mixing and matching the files from different flavors (i.e., Windows or Linux). It's rock steady; I don't remember a time when GIMP actually crashed. And if you are ready to exit, GIMP always reminds you to save any unsaved changes to your designs. GIMP has a simple uncluttered interface. "Simple interface" is relative; many menu items have dockable windows (like its commercial counterparts) so managing the various docking windows is what will keep it simple and uncluttered. One of the first things I ever used GIMP for was to import and edit some graphics saved in PhotoShop. I'm not a designer so I don't understand what half the tools do; I use only a few of the many features on a regular basis. Primarily I use it for quick web graphics, banners and graphics for blog articles, converting images to different formats, and sometimes to take screenshots (but others screenshot tools are quicker and more intuitive). Cons It would be nice to have a few "modes" that hide or reveal tools based on your anticipated usage. For example, a "novice" interface mode would be nice. The help system is decent but is a bit cryptic and designed for the designer (not a layperson). I would love to see better intuitive context-sensitive help. For example, hovering over a tool would give a much more understandable explanation. The screenshot tool could be more accessible (when not working in GIMP).

I gave up using this software early because it took me so much time to figure out functionalities, while I couldn't provide the same types of results. I used it to create graphic designs for mainly marketing purposes and my team also used it creating some PR blog posts for Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. They were satisfied with this software since they had no previous experience with anything else. Pros My first impression on the software's interface was fairly good. A nice intuitive and cheap alternative of a software I used the free demo verison of (Adobe Photoshop). Most of the functions and tools were easy to use and it didn't take a lifetime to find the most significant similarities to the above mentioned software I was familiar with. Cons Digging deeper in some minor functionalities and design capabilities I found more drawbacks with time. Some icons were hard to find, for some of the functions I needed tutorials. Applying effects and adjustments was quite hard. As I used this software as a cheaper alternative for Adobe Photoshop I was thoroughly dissatisfied finding out that it offers significantly less in terms of tools, funcions, adjustments and overall structure. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) My company had financial matters. Review Source MC Martin C. Webmaster Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mr" February 8, 2018 5.0 Free Photoshop replacement! Pros GIMP can do just about anything Photoshop can do, plus a few of it's own unique tricks. It easily converts between image formats including SVG files, and can read & write Photoshop PSD files. GIMP can also import Photoshop color pallet files. Some examples of GIMP's advanced features include layer styles (various effects that you can apply including shadows, borders, an emboss effect, and more), content-aware resizing (resize background elements without affecting foreground object), face swap, change object colors, cartoonify your photos, and create animated GIFs. Other useful features include red eye removal, make your own watermark, create custom brushes, and remove colors from some objects (like background). There are many useful plugins you can add to extend GIMP's functionality, for example image compression for web, and batch processing for adding a change to many files automatically. The PSPI plugin the adds the ability to use third party Photoshop plugin filters within GIMP on Windows and Linux. There is also GIMP Portable, a no-install, portable version of GIMP. GIMP Portable can be added to a USB key or hard drive drive, letting you bring the image editor with you. You can keep your favorite plugins and brushes with this package in order to have your entire working suite of image tools with you. GIMP is open source and has a large, active community of developers and users. This means GIMP will continue to evolve but will remain free for all. Cons As is the case with a lot of free software, some features feel less polished than their commercial counterparts. Some user interface elements may not appear as pixel-perfect as Photoshop, and some interactive features not as smooth. While the GIMP on a Mac feels more stable, the Windows version can be buggy and prone to crashing when using some plugins. The Windows version can also be very slow to start on older PCs, especially when you have a lot of plugins installed. I think the most common critique I've heard about GIMP is the steep learning curve. In my experience, GIMP wasn't really any harder to learn than Photoshop but a lot of users find Photoshop to be more user friendly. In some ways I agree, for example Photoshop seems to be better at guessing where I want to crop an image, or where I'm trying to position a layer so I spend less time fiddling with these controls. Photoshop also feels faster than GIMP when run on the same Windows PC. Loading images, and launching plugins are noticeably slower, although batch processing is at least as fast as Photoshop.

April 23, 2019 5.0 One of the greatest benefits that I have received is having a program that works very well in the main operating systems of the market, which has helped me a lot when meeting requirements in work meetings, in which clients ask me specific improvements in my designs. Another beneficial element for me, and for the companies in which I have been working, is the economic savings, the money is invested in operational improvements, which translates into better service for customers and a better quality of life for workers who can perceive significant improvements. Pros I like to have a high-quality program completely free, that has helped me a lot to invest in equipment that I need for my work. Similar programs, such as Photoshop, offer the same thing but the issue of licensing restrains any graphic design entrepreneur who seeks to work. Another aspect that I like very much is that I have the support of a large community, that of free software, which gives me a lot of peace of mind when I do not know any steps at the moment of designing. Many do not know but have a training platform that even certifies your participation, which gives you the advantage to improve your curriculum. Also, its constant updating has allowed me to diversify the formats with which I can work, I have not found any aspect that I can not achieve with Gimp, I am very satisfied with everything it offers me. Cons Over the years improve all applications that are contained, I have not found negative aspects that warrant my opinion. On the contrary, I am very happy to have software that cares about its users and does not limit its use with expensive licenses. With great care and respect, I believe it is one of the best options in the market for graphic design workers.

At times, we also use it for client deliverables. GIMP has to offer alot but only at a price of reliability. You cannot rely on this program 100% of the times, but easy solutions can fix the small issues most of the times. Pros 1\. Open-source: is by far one of its biggest advantage. It is available freely to everybody and is maintained by open-source enthusiasts over the globe. The tool is replicated with the biggest image editing competitors and therefore, becomes easy to use for anyone new. 2. Precision: is something that does not come easily in open-source tools. However, GIMP is different in that aspect. For sharp image editing, GIMP provides precision, be it color grading or slicing an image. Cons Stability: I have faced issues like, the tool stops responding at times. I have also felt that at times, the buttons becomes un-clickable and if you try to click a button, the button above it starts working. These types of bugs can easily be fixed with new releases, but since this is an open-source tool, there are no finite cycles being followed for new releases. Therefore, be prepared to experiment in-case you face these. I usually un-intalled and re-installed the program to fix the issues. Review Source Ryan P. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A fantastic free images editor, you won't find a better value!" May 14, 2022 5.0 Overall, Gimp is a useful piece of software for designers, but it's a lifesaver for web developers who require a lot of photos. It is ideal for Linux systems and is quite beneficial to both developers and newbies. Pros \- Opensource software: plenty of help and resources (for free!) - The user interface is identical to those of other picture editors, making skill conversion simple. - Enough functionality for all of my basic image editing needs, from silly photo tweaks to serious image modification for marketing and web use. Cons \- Menus include a lot of alternatives, so the one you want might be hidden many levels below. This can make it difficult to learn and may necessitate Googling to locate the information you seek. - It's a comprehensive and thorough application with a lot of features. Learning your way around quickly is not simple. Review Source Similar Products Featured
