Pixelmator and Photomator are now officially part of the Apple ecosystem.
The acquisition was first announced last year, and now the Pixelmator, Pixelmator Pro, and Photomator apps display a splash screen that acknowledges the deal.
Pixelmator is one of the most popular image editing programs in the Apple ecosystem, offering an alternative to Adobe products with a focus on ease of use and performance.
No changes have been made to the programs yet, but Apple may integrate them into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS in the future. Currently, the company offers built-in editing tools in the Photo app, but it also used to have a separate Aperture program (it was closed and removed from the Mac App Store in 2015).
It is also speculated that Apple may launch a subscription to professional programs by offering a package that includes Compressor (macOS), Final Cut Pro (iPadOS and macOS), Logic Pro (iPadOS and macOS), MainStage (macOS), Motion (macOS), and Pixelmator products.
Pixelmator programs are currently available as standalone apps in the App Store:
- Pixelmator (iOS) — $11,99
- Pixelmator Pro (macOS) — $59,99
- Photomator (iOS, macOS, and visionOS) — free of charge and with a monthly subscription of $9.99 with advanced features.
