Download summary

GIMP is a graphics app for Windows/macOS/Linux, published by GIMP Development Team. A direct package URL is recorded below. The host may be the publisher, a release repository, a CDN, or another distribution source documented by the publisher. Some packages still fetch optional components during setup. The recorded publisher site is gimp.org. We do not host or modify installer files.

Sources and identity

External references used to identify the product and publisher. These links do not prove that we installed the package.

Publisher documentation

These references support the package and behavior notes. Documentation checks are separate from the recorded URL-check date and do not represent an installation test.

Choose a package

Choose the OS and architecture first

Use the combined Windows installer for Windows 10 version 1903 or newer. The listed Apple-silicon DMG needs macOS 11 or later; Intel Mac users must select the separate publisher download.

The x86-64 AppImage targets Debian 13 or newer distributions. A Flatpak reference initiates package and runtime retrieval; it is not a self-contained offline bundle.

Prepare help and plug-ins before disconnecting

The user manual is a separate download. Identify compatible GIMP 3 plug-ins and obtain the format-specific dependencies your workflow needs.

The main package does not establish that a migrated plug-in, font or PSD document will work. Keep original documents and validate a representative copy.

Package guidance is based on the linked documentation, checked 11 September 2026. No installation test is claimed.

Publisher SHA-256 reference values

Publisher-displayed SHA-256 references for the three exact files. No downloaded-byte or signature check. Compared on 11 September 2026 with the publisher’s reference.

Verification scope

A direct package URL is recorded above. We have not independently installed every listed build or confirmed that setup remains fully offline.

We do not host software files. Links may resolve to a publisher domain, its release repository, app store, CDN, or a documented distribution host — confirm the final hostname, publisher signature, version, and architecture before deployment. Recorded URLs last checked 11 September 2026; content last updated 11 September 2026.

What GIMP does

GIMP 3.2.6 is the project's GPL-licensed image editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Windows installer covers x86-64 and ARM64; the DMG recorded here is for Apple silicon with macOS 11 or later. The Linux download is an x86-64 AppImage, whose publisher-supported baseline is Debian 13 or a newer distribution. These are distinct packages: a Windows setup cannot be reused on Linux, and the Apple-silicon DMG is not the Intel Mac download.

Choose GIMP for layered raster editing when its tools and file interchange fit the work. Keep an XCF working copy and export a separate delivery file. Imported PSD documents can contain Photoshop features that GIMP does not preserve, so check a representative document's layers, text, effects and output before replacing an established workflow.

Existing GIMP 2 plug-ins need porting to the GIMP 3 API. An old plug-in folder is not a drop-in migration plan: identify the plug-ins your workflow actually needs, obtain compatible versions, and keep the previous working files until you have checked the result. The project publishes separate plug-in packaging guidance for AppImage, Flatpak, Snap, Store and macOS.

The three reference hashes on this page were transcribed from the publisher's 3.2.6 download page on 11 September 2026. Package URLs returned HTTP 200 to HEAD requests and redirected through the publisher's download service. No binary was downloaded, signature inspected, installation run, or PSD/plug-in compatibility test performed.

Try a practical task

Crop a square image while preserving the original

Make a square thumbnail from a photo you own, with an editable project and a separate export. This keeps the original available for a different crop later.

Before you start

  • Use an image you created or have permission to edit.
  • Work on a copy and keep the original outside the output folder.

  1. Open the image

    Open the copy in GIMP. Inspect the subject and decide which part must stay inside a square crop.

  2. Set a fixed crop

    Choose the Crop tool and enable a fixed aspect ratio of 1:1 in Tool Options. Drag a rectangle around the subject.

  3. Commit and save the project

    Adjust the crop edges, then press Enter. Save an XCF project under a new name so the editing state remains available.

  4. Export the result

    Use Export As to make a separate PNG or JPEG. Reopen the export and check its shape, edges and subject.

Expected result

The exported thumbnail is square and the original image remains unchanged.

If the result is different

Only one layer was cropped
Check the Crop tool’s selected-layer and image options before repeating the operation.
The output is blurry
Check the actual pixel dimensions; changing a print-resolution number alone does not create more image detail.

Cropping changes composition, not image ownership. An XCF project and a flattened export serve different purposes; keep both when future editing matters.

Continue with the publisher’s instructions

Guide updated . Steps describe the linked documentation and our sample task. Only demonstrations with a stated environment record an observed run; this is not an installation test of every GIMP package listed above.

Product features

  • Layers, layer masks, and channels for non-destructive editing
  • Large customizable brush engine and selection/path tools
  • GIMP 3 plug-in APIs and Script-Fu; GIMP 2 plug-ins need compatibility review
  • XCF working files plus PSD and common raster interchange with format limits
  • Publisher packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux with architecture differences

Installation notes

Grouped by the package types recorded on this page — not a claim that every listed build was independently tested on every supported platform.

Windows Windows installer (EXE)

  1. 1

    Download the recorded file (gimp-3.2.6-setup.exe). If it has a digital signature, inspect the signer and validation result in Properties → Digital Signatures. If no signature is present, follow the publisher's documented verification method; a missing signature does not authenticate the file.

  2. 2

    Check any Windows warning before proceeding. A SmartScreen reputation warning is not signature verification; stop if the publisher is unexpected or the file is reported as malicious.

  3. 3

    Follow the publisher's setup prompts to finish; options vary by release, so review each screen rather than clicking through.

macOS macOS disk image (DMG)

  1. 1

    Open the disk image and follow the publisher's instructions for its contents. It may contain an app to copy to Applications or a separate installer.

  2. 2

    Check first-launch security prompts. For damaged, revoked, or unverified software, stop and check the publisher's current package and Apple's guidance before proceeding.

Linux Linux AppImage

  1. 1

    After verifying the recorded file (GIMP-3.2.6-x86_64.AppImage), enable its executable permission and use the publisher's launch instructions. Check the supported distribution, architecture, and runtime dependencies, including FUSE where required.

  2. 2

    Application settings and desktop integration can live outside the AppImage. Removing the file does not necessarily remove that data.
