Pixelmator is a series of graphics editors developed by Pixelmator Team for macOS and iOS. Pixelmator apps are largely built on Apple-specific technologies such as CoreML and Metal.[4] Pixelmator uses a proprietary format across their apps (.PXM), but support a variety of file types including Photoshop, RAW, and WebP.[5] All Pixelmator apps support image editing, but Pixelmator Pro also supports video and vector graphics.[6]

History

Pixelmator Team was founded in 2007 by Lithuanian brothers Saulius and Aidas Dailide.[7] and released Pixelmator (now Pixelmator Classic) 1.0 in September of the same year.[8] The company currently resides in Vilnius.[9]

Pixelmator Classic was the original version of Pixelmator released for Mac on September 25, 2007. It uses a palette-style interface compared to Pixelmator Pro's single-window interface. It is no longer being updated and has been delisted from the Mac App Store.[10]

Pixelmator iOS

Pixelmator for iOS launched on October 23, 2014 as an iPad-exclusive app with touch-optimized versions of Pixelmator's desktop features.[11] In May 2015, Pixelmator for iOS 2.0 was released with support for the iPhone.[12]

Pixelmator Pro

Photomator

Photomator (Formerly Pixelmator Photo[13]) is a photo-oriented editing app which launched on iOS in 2021[14] and macOS in 2022.[15] After launching the macOS version, the app moved from a one-time purchase to a subscription, however, a lifetime license can still be purchased for $99.[15]

Photomator differentiates itself from other Pixelmator apps with features such as batch editing of full photoshoots and AI-powered color correction. Edits in Photomator are made on a single layer and are non-destructive.[16]
