Apple on Friday (November 1) acquired Pixelmator, a famous image editing app offered on Mac and iOS. In a blog post, Pixelmator stated it will now “have the ability to reach an even wider audience and make an even bigger impact on the lives of creative people around the world.”
Currently, Pixelmator is offered for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS, but not the Android ecosystem. The company said: "Looking back, it’s crazy what a small group of dedicated people have achieved over the years in Vilnius, Lithuania.”

Pixelmator Pro includes improved editing tools that are similar to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and other programme features, such as layers and vectors. Moreover, the software taps into a lineup of Apple-specific technologies, including iCloud, Shortcuts and the iPad's Pencil.
Recently, the company launched the Clean Up feature as part of an iOS update, aiming to remove unwanted objects from photos.
Pixelmator Pro pricing
The price of Pixelmator Pro on the Mac is $50, while a standard version for the iPad and iPhone costs $10. In addition, the company provides a Photomator editing app across Apple devices.
However, the company stated that there wouldn't be quick material changes to the programme, but that it would announce further updates later.
