Current Stable Version
Because the steps might be different on different OS (Windows / Linux / MacOS) or Gimp versions (2.6 / 2.8 / 2.10), this article only focus on the following system setup: 1. MacOS Catalina Ver.
The current stable release of GIMP is 2.10.24 (2021-03-28).

We think your OS is Well, we don't actually know. Either JavaScript is disabled, or I am not working quite right.. So I am showing you all the options.
- MacOS Catalina 10.15; macOS Mojave 10.14. The full form of GIMP is the GNU image Manipulation Program. It is a free distributed piece of software.
- Installation problems on MacOS 10.15 'Catalina' We are aware of installation problems on MacOS 10.15 'Catalina'. Unfortunately, we do not have a solution at this time. We will update this as appropriate. We do not know whether Gutenprint will function on Catalina.

GIMP for Unix-like systems
If available, the official package from your Unix-like distribution is the recommended method of installing GIMP!
The flatpak build is new and has known limitations, though it will likely provide faster updates, following GIMP releases closely.
Therefore choose your installation medium according to your needs.
Flatpak build available in: x86-64 and AArch64 (note: i386 and ARM-32 versions used to be published, yet are now stuck at GIMP 2.10.14 and 2.10.22 respectively).
Flatpak additional instructions
The flatpak link above should open your software installer and prompt you to install GIMP. Yet it may not work out-of-the-box on some platforms since the flatpak technology is new. If that is the case, ensure flatpak is installed and if clicking the link still does not prompt to install GIMP, then manually install by command line:
flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
Once installed, it will be made available exactly the same way as other applications (menus, desktop overview, or any specific application launch process used by your desktop).
If this is not the case, we suggest to report a bug to your desktop or distribution asking for proper support of flatpak. In the meantime, you can still run it by command line (not as the recommended method, only a workaround):
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//stable
This installation will also provide regular update. You don't have to come back on this page and install again (it will not work!) when a new version of GIMP is released. Instead if your distribution and/or desktop has a good support for flatpak, it should propose to perform updates.
Once again, if your distribution does not have proper support, you can always fall back to using the following command line:
flatpak update
Systems without flatpak support
GIMP can also run on Solaris and is available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Please refer to the documentation for your Unix-like system on the installation of software.
GIMP for macOS
Note: the currently available package provides GIMP 2.10.22 and has not yet updated to the latest version, GIMP 2.10.24. We're working on that, please check back later.
Updated on 2021-01-31: GIMP 2.10.22 DMG revision 3
Performance improvements on Big Sur and on previous macOS versions
The download links above will attempt to download GIMP from one of our trusted mirror servers. If the mirrors do not work or you would rather download directly from our server, you can get the direct download here.

Older Downloads
Previous installers for OSX can be found here: download.gimp.org.
Macports
An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp
once you have Macports installed.
Last we checked, the GIMP port file pointed to the current stable release and we have reports from people who've built GIMP successfully this way.
Homebrew
Homebrew is similar to Macports and provides packages (aka formulas) to install, either by compiling them from source or by using pre-made binaries. There are indications that there is now a formula for GIMP, installable with: brew tap homebrew/cask && brew install --cask gimp
.
NOTE! Please be aware that it was announced recently that Homebrew is using analytics. To turn this off in homebrew then run: brew analytics off
You can read more about this on Brew Analytics.
Fink
Fink is a package repository that offer mostly precompiled binaries. It provides the apt-get command known to e.g. Debian and Ubuntu users, and installing GIMP is as easy as sudo apt-get install gimp
once you have installed the Fink installer.
If there's no binary package, then fink install gimp
will compile GIMP from source.
Disclaimer: we haven't been able to determine if it is possible to install or build recent GIMP from Fink. Last we checked, GIMP 2.6.12 appears to be the most recent GIMP package that is offered there.
GIMP for Windows
Updated on 2021-04-07: GIMP 2.10.24 installer revision 3
Backported GLib fix for very slow file dialogs (issue #913) and custom GTK2 fix for non-functional Wacom Airbrush finger wheel (issue #6394).
The download links above will attempt to download GIMP from one of our trusted mirror servers. If the mirrors do not work or you would rather download directly from our server, you can get the direct download here.
Supported OS: Windows 7 or over
These links download the official GIMP installer for Windows (~200 MB). The installer contains both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of GIMP, and will automatically use the appropriate one.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing system. It works by downloading GIMP from a distributed network of BitTorrent users, and may improve download speed dramatically. Choosing this option will download the torrent file for the GIMP installer. You may need to install a torrent client to make use of this file. Learn more..

macOS 10.15 ('Catalina') became available from the Mac App Store on October 7th, 2019. It is assumed the only fully supported version of macOS, all previous versions are assumed to be insecure.
All macOS versions below 10.13.6 are definitely unsupported.
For an overview of new features in macOS 10.15 see https://www.apple.com/macos/catalina/features/
There are some important actions to take before you install it:
- Take note of the information on https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201475
- Ensure that all the software you are using is compatible with it. See below for a list of known issues (be aware that the list is far from complete).
- Make sure to update all third party software you are using BEFORE upgrading to macOS 10.15. We expect that many updaters of older software will NOT WORK any more under macOS 10.15.
- Uninstall outdated software and software you don't use any more BEFORE upgrading to macOS 10.15. We expect that most uninstallers for outdated software will NOT WORK any more under macOS 10.15.
- Verify your hard-disk or SSD before doing the install.
- Make sure you have a recent backup, allowing you to recover your data in case of problems.
- Note that the upgrade will most likely convert the filesystem on your Mac, carefully read https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208018 and re-check your backups!
- Make sure you have enough free disk space for the install image AND the installation process. The installer will start even if you don't have enough free space, it will fail and stubbornly try again after a restart. You will need to re-install your OS if this happens, data loss is quite likely..
- In case you migrate from a macOS version older than 10.14 you should also read the 'About macOS ..' articles concerning all intermediate versions of macOS.
Known Issues
32 Bit Applications
32 Bit Applications do not run on macOS 10.15, please read https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436. The feature 'How to find 32-bit apps on your Mac' mentioned on that page is only available on macOS 10.14 and newer. Update or remove your 32 bit apps BEFORE upgrading to macOS 10.15.
Adobe Apps
Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/fix-macos-64-bit-compatibility-errors.html
Brew
Brew users should check the news on ??? before upgrading to Catalina. Please note that we do not support brew or any tools installed through it.
Canon Printer Drivers
Fixed Mar-21: The AddPrinter script on the print-service website works on macOS 10.15.
Fixed 17-Oct-19 16:00 for installaton via Self-Service: The Canon Printer Drivers package can not be installed under macOS 10.15. The printer drivers that have been installed before upgrading to macOS 10.15 appear to work after an upgrade to macOS 10.15.
Deny / Allow Dialogs
macOS 10.15 has become very restrictive. You will get plenty of dialogs 'Application X wants to access Y'. Keep in mind that if you deny such an action once you will not be asked again, and there is no way to find out whether you have denied this action is the past :(
ESET Antivirus
Version 6.8.1 of ESET is required for Catalina. If you have an older version installed via the Self-Service just delete the ESET Endpoint Antivirus.app from your Applications folder, then open the Self-Service and run the ‘Refresh Inventory’ policy. Within the next 20 minutes the new version of ESET will be installed. Another option is to the the remove and the re-install via the Self-Service, but this does take a bit longer.
Fink
Fink users should check the news on http://www.finkproject.org before upgrading to Catalina. Please note that we do not support fink or any tools installed through it.
GPG Tools
GPG Suite 2019.2 is required for the MAil.app from macOS 10.15
HP Printer Drivers
Some HP printer drivers are not working under macOS 10.15
MacPorts
Gimp Para Mac Os Catalina
MacPorts users should check the news on https://trac.macports.org/wiki/CatalinaProblems before upgrading to Catalina. Please note that we do not support MacPorts or any tools installed through it.
Mail.app
Mail.app appears to have problems creating IMAP accounts. Some users have reported that MAil.app is often very slow. Some users reported about mail messages being lost. Kingdom rush pc download free.
Mathematica
Version 12 of Mathematica is required for Catalina. Users have reported problems with copy & paste in celss with manual grouping. If you rely on that feature you better stay with Mathematica 11 and macOS Mojave.
MathType
MathType is not compatible with macOS 10.15, the developer says about a compatible version 'we will not be able to release it in 2020', so don't hold your breath..
Mattermost
Super smash flash 2 download highly compressed. Version 4.3 of Mattermost is required for macOS 10.15
Protected System Partition
All system files now reside on a dedicated and write protected partition. Tools that require write access to directories on the system partition will not work.
System Center Endpoint Protection
System Center Endpoint Protection (Microsoft SCEP) is not compatible with 10.15. You MUST uninstall SCEP before upgrading to macOS 10.15. You will not be able to install ESET Antivirus under macOS 10.15 if you leave SCEP on your Mac.
XQuartz
Gimp Pour Mac Os Catalina
I have seen cases where the upgrade to Catalina broke XQuartz. Reinstalling the current version from https://www.xquartz.org/ solves the issue.
