### " Most powerful free and open source photo editor in the world"

December 27, 2018

5.0

I had a good time with GIMP and I worked many times with GIMP every time it works well. As I’m not a professional photo editor I able to get done my tasks very quickly. I had a hard time to learn GIMP there wasn’t good tutorials and documentation is not well as I expected but however I used YouTube videos to learn most of it. I can recommend GIMP for non professional photo editors who are looking for a free and alternative for Adobe Photoshop. If you are a professional I think you better to spend some money on Adobe Photoshop

Pros

I can say GIMP is the most powerful free and open source photo editor in the world. I’m using GIMP to do small photo banner editing for my web designing projects. I can list down few points that I most love about GIMP -It’s free and open source -Regularly updates are fixing available bugs in the software -I can run GIMP on my low end PC very smoothly and fast -Customization enabled and can use plugins, scripts that developed by community -Works with many Operating systems like Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc….

Cons

When I started to using GIMP I had a bit hard time to learn it documentation and some video tutorials are bit outdated. GIMP is good for non Professional photo editors compared with Photoshop. For the Cons side I only experienced that.

### "Go Open Source! It's a lot easier to run a media start-up."

May 31, 2021

5.0

Being community driven alone makes this product feel so much better. And it has come a long since we first tried it a few years ago. GIMP has evolved as we've learned our way around it. Looking forward to a future with greater updates to the UI and workflow.

Pros

The fact that it can almost do everything that Photoshop can do and for no charge at all - this helped us a ton. We did not have to pay a monthly subscription that over multiple users, adds up to quite a fee. Adding functionality that isn't otherwise provided is easy thanks to a large collection of assorted extensions.

Cons

For all the features it provides, one very important feature is missing. The ability to edit and render CMYK images, without having to run through a few hoops. Since most of our work is for online use, we do not see it as a limitation. But for someone looking at print media work alone, they might have to wait a few months before the official release has this functionality baked in.

### "Gimp"

April 12, 2022

5.0

Overall my experience with the software is fantastic, learners can produce professional artwork if they take the time to develop graphic design skills. For learners on a budget this is great step into the world of graphic and digital design. In the classroom they can develop more known software skills, providing the organisation has the budget. If on a tight budget, this a great tool to use in the classroom.

Pros

The software is very similar to Photoshop, so learners can easily get used to it, it a free software for learners on a very tight budget.

Cons

Not easy to install plugins on Mac. It's easier to install plugins on Windows, I have to ensure I am in the classroom to test plugins learners want to install as there is not guaranty they have downloaded a safe plugin.

March 26, 2022

It is smooth from my end.. most of the time many of my juniors fire problems regarding this programme. but when I show them way.. it work fine..

Pros

APNG and GIF are supported and let me tell you.. they work like a great jam.. wonderful and easy to export too.

Cons

Ease of use.. Most of the time I take more time to create some easy things.. but other than this.. who will provide constant updates and Free of Cost.. thank you, developers..

Reason for choosing GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)

Photoshop is not supporting GIF and APNG exports.. GIF is exported but not in good quality as GIMP is doing.. Learn from GIMP Mr Photoshop.

### "GIMP a demonstration in quality for free & open source products!"

May 19, 2022

4.0

I started using GIMP in late 2014 to edit things for YouTube videos and Livestreams on Twitch. I still use it to this day in tandem with other products to get my desired changes/effects.

Pros

I use this for quick photo editing and merging of images. I also enjoy using this for creating new things from time to time. GIMP is where I learned photo editing!

Cons

I don't enjoy how bland it looks, to be honest that's partially me just not changing up the UI like I could, but it's still a nice free product at the end of the day.

### "The Buzz Around GIMP"

September 25, 2019

5.0

Whether you're just dipping your toes into the editing world, or an advanced designer, GIMP will provide you with the tools you need to succeed. For software that is totally free to use, it knocks the competition out of the park. Regardless of why you might need design software, GIMP will always have your back.

Pros

If you're into graphic design, then you'll definitely want to hear all about the free design software GIMP. GIMP is a graphic design platform that allows users to customize photos, create art from scratch, and utilize photoshop tools in a professional way. Plus, if you're a big supporter of cross-platform software, GIMP will be sure to get the job done for you. So let's dive in, and take a look at what GIMP is all about. GIMP is a great software if you're into photo editing. If you need a template to work with, GIMP will be sure to provide you with the perfect baseline for your image. Plus, if you want to start from scratch, GIMP can handle that for you as well. While most people think that advanced editing software may be hard to use, GIMP provides you with a very simple solution to this problem. If you're new to this type of software, GIMP has plenty of ways to show you exactly how to use their software. If this is not enough to peak your interest, GIMP will also allow you to utilize their own premade designs as a source to build off of. Some great starter tools you'll find on GIMP are: - Photoshop capabilities - Templates - Cropping tools - Cross platform compatibility - Gradient enhancers - Color enhancement with depth - Automatic enhancement tools - Brush options

Cons

While GIMP is more than proficient in most areas, there are downsides that you should understand before using this software. GIMP may be free to use, but it lacks a certain depth that other common design software can provide you with. All this means is that you might get better pixel editing software with Photoshop, and Photoshop is more of an industry-standard as well. So if you're looking for super-advanced editing, you might find yourself struggling a bit in some areas. While GIMP may not have it all, what more do you need in free design software that provides plenty of great features?

### "GIMP is an awesome Image Manipulation program "

July 26, 2022

5.0

I needed to replace a background in my logo so I investigated software to make this happen. I came across GIMP as an alternative to other more expensive software. I had no idea how to proceed but with a bit of reading the online document I was able to perform my tasks. I am actually looking forward to "playing" with some other images.

Pros

There are several things that I like about GIMP. The price - Free is always good. It is a relatively easy to use in comparison to other Image software. Being that this GNU software there is a ton of help on the website and around the internet. The documentation is well laid out and easy to follow.

Cons

Overall, I really like GIMP but I did find a very steep learning curve if you have not had any previous experience with image manipulation software. However, with a little perseverance you can accomplish a lot with this software.

### " A quick solution!"

November 29, 2018

4.0

It's great to have multiplatform tools like this one. He could become the faithful friend of any user who faces the editing of images in his work. I think it's worth trying, it also has a portable version, for me it's very useful.

Pros

I'm not sure of his popularity, because I met him using Linux. However, he has been a faithful companion in regard to small editions of images and that kind of thing. I even remember using this light tool in a project of internal communications and the truth was not bad for us. It was the program that we had at hand and it worked. For day-to-day work it works quite well. It has a kind of toolbox with multiple features that can easily get you out of trouble. One of the functions that I like most is to optimize the images automatically, with the opportunity to customize it if one does not obtain the expected appearance.

Cons

I think it competes against many similar apps. However, I would not necessarily see it as something against. Another aspect maybe not very positive and I think it's something that I can do with other similar tools, is that for more advanced uses, some type of prior training is necessary to get the most out of this tool.

### "Best open source image editor."

August 21, 2022

4.0

So far the experience have been amazing , GIMP essential tools are great , easily on par with paid product from enterprise like Adobe Photoshop etc. If the support can be enhanced a bit , this will be killer open source product.

Pros

GIMP is a capable, adjustable and responsive tool. GIMP's brush based tools such as clone/healing , burn/dodge tool are the excellent , even with high resolution images it works like a charm. It allows a large degree of customization which is quite impressive.

Cons

GIMP's selection tools could be bit more user friendly especially with the advance/complicated settings option. Also the support for GIMP could be a bit better but since this is an open source project and not an enterprise product with dedicated support , we are highly grateful to the developers helping in providing support

### "GIMP is a great PhotoShop alternative for those of us with simple needs. "

March 17, 2022

5.0

I often need to edit the same graphic slightly for different functions. For instance, part of my business is running skincare parties in Facebook groups. Each time I create a new group I need a new banner. GIMP allows me to quickly and easily edit a banner I saved a template by just changing the text with the hostess' name and exporting it under her name.

Pros

Of course, free is my favorite price. Being a small business owner working from home with only myself I do not have the resources to spend over $20/month on PhotoShop. For my simple needs of creating and editing simple images and graphics, GIMP does the trick amazingly well.

Cons

My only frustration with GIMP is that it can be confusing to use at times. Given that I am not a professional graphic artist with formal training in these kinds of software programs, I've had to feel my way along more than once. The good news is that once I've learned how to perform a function I have that knowledge going forward. Also, there are numerous YouTube videos and websites with tutorials on how to use GIMP.

May 29, 2023

A tool that can be a good solution for business purposes because they would not convert much and it is good for photo editing

Pros

It is a tool that is easy to use and that also works quite well for content creators or even for brand customization processes. I like it because its interface is quite easy to use. It is also a tool for those who require a much more accessible touch-up system. than other systems, since it offers a free version for simple photo touch ups

Cons

I like this tool but I would like it to have more advanced functions, the whole process is generally fast and easy to use

### "GIMP is great, if you know what your doing."

November 28, 2019

4.0

Fantastic but it's a complicated software for the uninitiated.

Pros

This is a very robust and useful image editing software akin to Adobe's Photoshop suite. It's quite useful and features a ton of the same or similar tools you'll find in the aforementioned suite, with one exception. GIMP IS COMPLETELY FREE TO USE! It's fantastic and nearly as good as Photoshop in every way. In fact, you can find many Photoshop tutorials online and the same exact steps will apply to GIMP to get the same end result for any effects your trying to create!

Cons

Photoshop isn't the easiest software to teach yourself, you have to be extremely tech savvy to accomplish such a feat. The same applies to GIMP. If you don't already know how to use Photoshop going into GIMP, you better read up on how to use the software or get some one and one training (or even take a college class or something). If you don't, you'll be lost in trying to use the software to edit images. There's always YouTube tutorials these days.

### "Free Advanced Image Editing"

January 11, 2019

4.0

I've been using GIMP as my primary raster image editing software for over 3 years. GIMP is a free and open source software (FOSS). I use mostly free and open source software because starting out I could never have afforded the licenses for most premium software. FOSS also generally demands fewer resources from your computer, which is true for GIMP. I use GIMP on a Core i3 laptop with 4 gig RAM running on Linux UBUNTU. I didn't give a customer support rating because strictly speaking there is no customer support for GIMP (as far as I know ). There is a wide range of online resources and forums that are as good as, and in some cases better than most customer support, though.

Pros

It's Free. You can create professional images without paying a cent! Gimp comes with all the basic functionality of an advanced image manipulation program. It's gentle on system resources. You can do professional work on an entry-level laptop

Cons

It's almost always behind premium software available on the market. Because GIMP is open source new features usually come long after premium competitors have released them. No cloud collaboration. I can't work wing projects in a group. Installing plugins can be challenging. Recently I failed to install the plugin that allows me to export to the new WebP format. I also had a hard time installing the batch Processing plugin that allows me to apply batch processes like resizing or compression. Sometimes the plugin repositories are moved, broken or incompatible with the installed version of GIMP, so it takes a bit of extra effort to get new functionality.

### ""Awesome Photo Design Tool" "

November 24, 2022

5.0

Gimp is an great open source program that can be downloaded at no cost. I was given an assignment from my Director to create a logo design and so I found Gimp via a Facebook Ad. It was a great option. To this day I’m using Gimp to create logos for other companies on Upwork. It’s very much similar to Adobe Photoshop.

Pros

There are tons of useful plugins that I can download that make GIMP even more powerful. It’s compatible with nearly all image formats. With this tool I can add special effects to my images and export the file with great resolution.

Cons

It takes quite a while to learning all the features and functionality. During my first 2 weeks of installing I was stuck trying to figure out how it works. The main thing that irritated me is the fact that it crashes while I’m in the middle of a project.

### "Best alternative for photoshop"

September 21, 2020

4.0

It is perfect for me. Photoshop is very costly for me. Usually for my game development I use inkscape but for altering the output image , now I use gimp and experience is fine enough. I will surely recommend it to others

Pros

The best part which I love about it is that it is open source software. It gives a very good satisfaction and gives a way for other also to improve it. The other best part which I love about it is its price(FREE) . This removes the barrier for many newbies. Other than that the features which I really appreciate about it is frequent update cycles,huge community and options of adding plugins and scripts ( many users donate it for free for other users)

Cons

1.) UI in my opinion is quite old fashioned. 2.) It takes more clicks to achieve the same goal as compared to other rivals like Photoshop 3.) It's compatibility with other software is not so smooth ( this experience may differ from user to user) 4.) It had been quite a time since it was released but still it has failed to make an impact on commercial space ( take the example of blender:- it has acquired attention of many big players in the market) 5.) Performance ( bigger files):- I have noticed that photoshop is much more better in managing bigger project as compared to gimp (not a huge difference but still)

### "GIMP Does Everything, But There's a Learning Curve"

July 22, 2021

5.0

I needed software that could created high-resolution graphics for some of the content projects I do for clients. I had some trouble at first and ended up uninstalling and re-installing after changing some settings that hid some menus and controls so well I couldn't find a way to restore them. Fortunately, the internet provides a great number of experts who publish written and video tutorials. Every time I get stuck trying to do something in GIMP I do a Google search and usually find multiple articles and YouTube videos that help me solve a problem or use an unfamiliar feature. Some of my work in GIMP is repetitive. By copying an existing GIMP file and re-naming it, I can make the necessary design changes and export the necessary .jpg or .png images without too much trouble. Sometimes though, I still get frustrated by not being able to do something that seems like it should be simple.

Pros

GIMP seems to be able to do just about any kind of image generation and manipulation, giving a great deal of control to the user to create simple or complex graphics of various sizes and formats.

Cons

This program was hard to learn. It does so many things that the settings and features are pretty overwhelming for someone who lacks experience with the Adobe Creative Suite or some other high-end graphics software. I don't have the time to really become familiar with all aspects of GIMP, so I'm probably doing some things the hard way.

Reason for choosing GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)

GIMP is free and has a large user base of smart, creative people. I thought I could learn it well enough to make it work for me.

### "Fantastic especially for a free program."

November 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

Usually when you have a free alternative to any program, you expect it to be sub-par, but GIMP is free and perfect for people like me who don't need extensive graphic design tools (though I've heard it's quite good in that regard), but just need a functional form of the basics. I use it primarily for outlining parcels, and editing real estate images. Any local business that does marketing of any kind would benefit from using GIMP -- sometimes pricy programs simply aren't needed, and GIMP is a lifesaver in that regard.

Cons

I do feel like there is a bit of learning curve, one that I've found to be more difficult that paid image editing programs. While shortcuts make things easier for every program, if feels absolutely crucial to know them for GIMP, otherwise each task can feel laborious. I also feel like the UI for browsing for a file is way too out-of-date... I always click and drag from my file explorer.

### "Retouch image and manipulated giving it the best personal touch"

June 28, 2018

5.0

In the foundation in which I work one of the activities is participation in social networks and we all know that an image says more than a thousand words is for them that a team is responsible for the editing and manipulation of images and another part of the publication of social networks, when I started working with him I had an incredible potential since I could make great editions and give life to images that were not so attractive. That is why when I found out about this tool, I called myself So much attention.

Pros

It is the most used and popular image editor in my work since it is multiplatform, it also has a very friendly environment and for those people who do not dominate the computer it is very simple, as well as for those who find it easy to get inside of the tools and exploit their potential at the time of mounting images and have an excellent finish, as well as being free software and being able to take the portable with me and install it quickly and easily on any computer.

Cons

It has multiple tools that make the manipulation of the image very simple and with great potential for editing them, besides being very light, but when installed in some operating systems, the toolbars are deconfigured, which makes image manipulation complicated although already having experience configuring it, everything is fixed.

### "Powerful, free and highly customizable option for photo-editing and digital painting. "

September 25, 2018

4.0

My experience with GIMP is overall positive, it is a reliable free option. Give it a try, it might end up surprising you.

Pros

GIMP is currently the most popular freeware option for photo-editing and digital painting, and there are good reasons for it. First of all, it consumes less RAM than many other options in the market, it has a very reliable stability, it rarely crashes and you do not need high-specs for it to work smoothly. It runs in most OS and platforms, including Linux, where it originated and was later ported and optimized for Windows and Mac. The Interface can be customized with a variety of impressive alternatives and plugins that can emulate similar softwares. It is as powerful as the other distinctive apps, being able to cope with the great results achieved by other creative suites. I also must admit that GIMP works transparencies like a champ. But their most possitive asset is their friendly and helpful community, with people enhancing and designing plugins, providing tutorials and help all free of any cost, to the extent that the users are the first providers of customer support.

Cons

The user interface can be somewhat confusing, this might depend on the plugins you are using and the compatibility they have between each other, this is a cost you always run into when using highly customizable applications. It might run slow when working out extremely large files, but on the bright side I never really experienced any crashes. The graphic interface feels outdated. Very limited options when it comes to text editing and pixel manipulation.

### "Exposing images for a Community Manager is important and Gimp is a great ally for this"

July 21, 2018

4.0

GIMP is one of the first photo editing software I could explore. Working with this software is quite easy has many benefits and benefits for editing that have allowed me to project my career as a Community Manager. A comfortable interface that combines a series of tools that although not complete, has a high range of functions that makes it continue using the software and recommend it to all those who need to edit photographs professionally and creatively.

Pros

In my work as a Community Manager, it is important to manage software that allows editing and resalar images, this, combined with a good coatching, enhances and enhances the accounts, adding more followers and more interaction of that account in Social Networks. GIMP, is an excellent software that gives me what I'm looking for, since it has a comfortable interface that allows you to interact with tools to remove or add light to the images, the management of different layers, which allows you to add more visual elements to the image, add effect to the photos, and, one of the most important reasons why I use GIMP is that it supports different formats like png, jpg, and gift.

Cons

I think the GIMP technical team could work on improving the tools they offer to modify the photos, since other software has more powerful tools for image editing.

### "GIMP Software Review"

September 26, 2019

4.0

I use Gimp all the time and have done for years. This is my go to platform for any of my Graphic Design work. I also use this software linked up to a Graphic Display Drawing Tablet, and it still works just as good. Saving work is simple due to the software having every file format you could think off. Finding tutorials for Gimp is easy and an online forum with the Gimp Community are always happy to help. This is a great piece of Software, and I can safely say I will be using Gimp for many years to come. I would recommend it to anyone, beginner or advanced.

Pros

I have been using Gimp for years now, and would never feel the need to swap to another software. It seems to have all the features to do what I need it to do. The best pro for Gimp has to be the fact that it is a free open source software. Gimp is a great piece of software because it is free, anyone thinking about learning image manipulation, or animation can test the waters without having to have paid lots of money for other software. The second has to be that it competes easily with the top paid software in the same genre. The multi layered editing works great, and the software is easy to learn and use. Gimp supports many formats, meaning work can be saved in different formats depending on your need. It is easy to gain plug-ins for Gimp as well to help customise it to your needs.

Cons

It can seem overwhelming if you are new to this kind of software, but to be honest, this would be the same to anyone who hadn't used image manipulation software before. Sometimes Gimp can have the odd glitch, but the platform is updated regularly so doesn't cause many problems at all, as this always seems to get resolved.
