Pixelmator Pro is a photo, video,[1] and vector[2] graphic editor developed by Pixelmator Team for macOS as part of its Pixelmator set of apps.

Reception

[edit]

Pixelmator Pro was generally well-received by reviewers who praised its deep use of machine learning,[6] fully macOS-native design,[7] and relatively affordable one-time purchase compared to subscription software such as Adobe Photoshop.[8] Some reviewers criticized that some features hard to find or hard to use.[8][9] It was awarded Apple's Mac App of the Year in 2018.[10]
