GIMP Ratings and Reviews
- Vidhya S.Software Engineer
GIMP is free and the best alternative to any paid image editing software. Although Photoshop is the industry standard for advanced image manipulation, GIMP is excellent for basic editing, cropping, and resizing, proving to be an excellent substitute for the old Paint. You can use GIMP on multiple OS, such as Windows, Mac, and Linux. GIMP has an active and competent developer team who push updates and fix bugs often. Compared to Paint, GIMP is excellent as it allows you to create layers, filters, and replace any white parts of images with alpha backgrounds for convenience. Although GIMP lacks some features you may find in Photoshop, you can add plugins and scripts to GIMP to add new features that aren't there from the get-go. You can also add automation scripts to automate certain tasks. GIMP's compatibility with different file types is quite vast, allowing you to save and edit images of JPEG, PNG, GIF, PSD, etc formats.
