## Reviews

### "Gimp is my "No Bull\*\*\*t" Image editor" — 5.0/5

> **Veronica** | *11 January 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Honestly, it all began with "Because it's free\!" Who wouldn't want the same cool features as those fancy, pricey image editors? But once I started messing around with it and realized how user-friendly GIMP is, I couldn't imagine switching to more professional tools.
> 
> **Cons**: Yeah, the tool's support might be a bit lacking, but the awesome thing is that it's made up for by the collective knowledge base of a whole community.
> 
> I've been using GIMP for all my image editing and sometimes even for creating artwork for about a decade now. I never really looked for alternatives because, while it might not be the go-to choice for professional graphic designers, it's everything I need as a wannabe writer and creative. I've designed my own book covers, crafted banners and ads for my social media marketing, and even illustrated my own children's book, which I later turned into an ebook and an audiobook. What I love most about it is how user-friendly it is while offering advanced features similar to other professional software – all for free. It's like child's play to use, and that's why I stick with it.

### "GIMP, a free high standard image editor" — 4.0/5

> **Tibor** | *8 October 2022* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's FREE\! The best thing about it it is free and also has functionalities that are comparable even with the industry leading image and photo editor apps such as Photoshop. Although it does lack some of the additional features other higher standard apps have, this is a great free alternative to others. The app also has a community forum where you can talk to others including the developers, you ask questions and make suggestions, they are always willing to help and listen.
> 
> **Cons**: Updates are kind of slow to happen, new features we read about them on their support sites can take many months until implemented so there is a longer wait time for any new and improved features. Also a bit tedious to install or update, the download and installation steps are a bit complex.
> 
> We used GIMP for years at the beginning of our business because it was a free app that competes even with some of highest industry standard apps, we only switched to other - paid - apps because additional functions were not available in GIMP and GIMP also has a slow version update time.

### "I had troubles using this one" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 March 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My first impression on the software's interface was fairly good. A nice intuitive and cheap alternative of a software I used the free demo verison of (Adobe Photoshop). Most of the functions and tools were easy to use and it didn't take a lifetime to find the most significant similarities to the above mentioned software I was familiar with.
> 
> **Cons**: Digging deeper in some minor functionalities and design capabilities I found more drawbacks with time.  Some icons were hard to find, for some of the functions I needed tutorials. Applying effects and adjustments was quite hard. As I used this software as a cheaper alternative for Adobe Photoshop I was thoroughly dissatisfied finding out that it offers significantly less in terms of tools, funcions, adjustments and overall structure.
> 
> My overall experience is not the best, but it is also not terrible. I gave up using this software early because it took me so much time to figure out functionalities, while I couldn't provide the same types of results. I used it to create graphic designs for mainly marketing purposes and my team also used it creating some PR blog posts for Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. They were satisfied with this software since they had no previous experience with anything else.

### "I pledge allegiance to the best little Image editor on the internet\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Belladonna** | *9 January 2023* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This tool is a very solid image editor . It ranks up there with its much more expensive competitors and delivers first rate quality work,  I am very glad for the vast variety of file formats available when I save a project. I am also glad the price is so attractive I can have all my staff and vendors using the same software.
> 
> **Cons**: Gimp is not very intuitive to use. It's hard to figure out how to use the various tools without first viewing tutorials.

### "Remarkable easy to use photo editing software for beginners" — 4.0/5

> **Nitin** | *21 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Even if it lacks features, I loved that I can import photoshop plugins in gimp and extends its capability. Ultimately it reolace photoshop on Linux system for high end photo editing work.&#10;&#10;Also its really easy to learn the software even if you don't have any design background.
> 
> **Cons**: For large file size system gets freezed or slowed down. Needs restarting several times resulting frustration.&#10;&#10;Their online version needs lots of improvements like uploading and exporting multiple formats.
> 
> Overall gimp is nice to have software for designers but its a life savour for deveopers who needs lots of images to add on websites. Its best for linux system and really helpful for developers and beginners.
