We provide 2 Flatpak unstable builds: on Flathub for point
development release and on the GNOME nightly repository.
The development releases are manually selected and tested
snapshots of the code, hence deemed presentable to the public
whereas nightlies are untested by definition. Nightlies are
automated builds at random point in development process.
If there are no development releases, the latest stable version
will be provided instead in the development repository whereas
the nightly repository will always contain moving
work-in-progress code.
Flatpak builds available in: x86-64 (both development and nightly builds) and AArch64 (development releases only).
If the link above doesn't open your software installer, install with following command:
flatpak install --user https://flathub.org/beta-repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
Run with following command line:
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//beta
To update:
flatpak update
Note: If you installed both the stable and beta repositories, the desktop (menus, etc.) will see only one version at a time. To make sure your desktop sees the development version, run this command:
flatpak make-current --user org.gimp.GIMP beta
Or respectively to restore the stable version as the visible GIMP application:
flatpak make-current --user org.gimp.GIMP stable
You may also create shortcuts running specifically one of the other version.
GIMP can also run on Solaris and is available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Third party development packages may be available for these systems. Please refer to the documentation for your Unix-like system on the installation of software.
Most Unix-like systems make it very easy to install a development environment for building software from source. If you can't find a GIMP package in your distribution's package repository or want to build a more recent GIMP version that what is available there, then see the source code section.
The download links above will attempt to download GIMP from one of our trusted mirror servers. If the mirrors do not work or you would rather download directly from our server, you can get the direct download here.
Supported OS: macOS 11 Big Sur or over

Automatic builds (sometimes called "nightlies") are generated at regular intervals by our Continuous Integration process. This allows to run the last version of our code, though it also means you will get possibly very unstable work-in-progress, just as it is made. Therefore ⚠️ be aware that you would be running very experimental code! ⚠️ These builds are meant to test future GIMP versions and help us debug, we do not advise to use these for production.
