Frequently asked questions

Is GIMP really free? What is the catch?

No catch. GIMP has been free and open source since 1996, developed by volunteers and funded by donations.

Can GIMP open Photoshop PSD files?

Yes, with good results for typical layered files. Extremely complex PSDs with smart objects may flatten some features.

Does GIMP support non-destructive editing?

Since version 3, yes: filters can be re-edited on layers instead of being baked in.
