"GIMP offers a creative experience in every pixel."

5/5

What do you like best about GIMP?

GIMP provides good performance in advanced photo editing and high–resolution image manipulation. It's easy and effective in creating detailed graphics for minimalistic visual elements and pixelated illustrations; the pen design helps to trace smooth lines for drawing free strokes and the interface looks technical but is highly customizable and that's nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

It isn't so intuitive at first, it offers free tutorials but anyway it took us a while to understand and master the handling of layers or clipping masks; so no need to get discouraged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GIMP: Powerful and Free, but with Some Compromises"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GIMP?

It has tons of features for editing raster images, plugins, supports layers, masks, scripts... really impressive for being free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

It is not very intuitive for those coming from Photoshop or for beginners. The interface can seem dated or unorganized. It supports many formats, but sometimes it can give problems with complex PSD or other professional formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GIMP solving and how is that benefiting you?

GIMP solves a very real problem: having access to advanced photo editing software without having to pay expensive subscriptions. In a world where tools like Adobe Photoshop have become almost a luxury, GIMP presents itself as a completely free, open source alternative available on all major platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Personally, I benefit from it especially in occasional projects of graphics, photo editing and digital content creation. I don't need a professional paid suite to edit images, create banners or apply effects: with GIMP I can do all this with an acceptable learning curve. It is also particularly useful when I work on different computers, because I can simply download it without licenses to transfer.

One of the problems it has solved for me, for example, is the management of layers and masks in more complex projects: functions that are rarely found in free software, but that in GIMP are implemented in a surprisingly powerful way. Sure, there are limitations, but for those who need a flexible graphics editor and do not want to tie themselves to proprietary software, GIMP is a really valid solution.
