GIMP 3.2.8 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesGIMP is a free open source image editor that runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. Photographers use it to retouch pictures, designers use it to build graphics for web and print, and artists use it to draw and paint. It offers layers, masks, filters and a full set of painting and selection tools, so it covers most jobs people expect from paid photo software, yet it costs nothing. Separate official builds are provided for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, which makes it a strong choice for any modern Mac setup.

How to Download
Download GIMP only from the official GIMP website, since other sites sometimes bundle unwanted extras. Open the official downloads page, choose the macOS disk image for Apple silicon or Intel, open it and drag GIMP into your Applications folder. The GIMP team does not sell the app on the Mac App Store, so any paid listing there is not from the project. Download from the official site
