It's broad range of tools and ease of use made it possible to create assets quickly and simply, as well as exporting them. > > **Cons**: my main concern was the quality of this images when they were exported. When images were angled, they'd come out a little blurry and not as high resolution as i hoped. This made it challenging when the assets in question were texted base or included small details that i would have liked to be noticable. > > I had a great experience with GIMP, as a free tool it made any design idea i had possible, and was easy to be able to use, allowing me to keep creating assets whilst in a fast paced environment. ----- ### "Powerful Free Alternative to Adobe Photoshop with a Learning Curve" — 5.0/5 > **Kiragu** | *14 November 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: GIMP is entirely free, with no subscription fees, which makes it accessible to everyone. > > **Cons**: The layout and navigation could be improved to feel more user-friendly. For advanced photo editing, GIMP lacks some high-end tools that Photoshop offers. > > GIMP has been a reliable tool for my graphic design and photo editing needs. It’s powerful enough for many professional tasks, even though there are some limitations. The learning curve was initially challenging, but once I got comfortable with it, I found it versatile and effective for most tasks. The community and online resources are also very helpful for learning and troubleshooting. ----- ### "Free toolbox for image tweaks" — 3.0/5 > **Tabarak** | *6 May 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I reached for GIMP whenever I needs a quick fix or a poster idea. Cropping, colour tweaks, and a sprinkle of filters run along nicely, and stacking layers costs me nothing but a click. > > **Cons**: Big files are another story. Throw a hefty blur or glow at them and the progress bar begins to crawl, while tool panels crowd the screen like chatty neighbours. ----- ### "A fantastic bit of design software - highly recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Joe** | *10 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its free to download and works a treat. Has lots of different options for design, and can be used for complexed tasks . > > **Cons**: There really is nothing to complain about to be honest - if im being picky I would say the interface needs a nice refresh but thats it\!. > > Very good - any new marketer we hire I always tell them to download and use GIMP first. Its a fantastic bit of design software. ----- ### "Try It...I dare you\!" — 5.0/5 > **BONNIE** | *3 December 2024* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gimp is a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop\! I did use Adobe Photoshop but to renew was expensive. After looking at cheaper alternatives, I went with Gimp. It has every feature that I have needed and I can export to many different file format. I use this in combination with my vector programs and you won't find a better deal with as many features as Gimp. There is also a wide array of tutorials to be found online. If you need a photo editor and don't want to spend alot, this is the program to try. > > **Cons**: It took a little bit to learn some of the features, but you can find numerous videos on how to use different features. It was no worse than learning to use Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. > > I actually really like the program, and I REALLY like the price\! Gimp makes editing photos fun and makes my design process much easier. ----- Page: 1 / 141\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/168960/gimp?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/168960/gimp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
