Older Downloads
Previous installers for macOS/OSX can be found on download.gimp.org.
Third Party Downloads
Third party packages are not officially supported by the GIMP project. Therefore you should report issues to the packagers first before reporting to the GIMP team. We only list some of these package systems here because they are widely used FLOSS projects, though we won't list projects providing very outdated versions.
Macports
An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp once you have Macports installed.
Last we checked, the GIMP port file pointed to the current stable release and we have reports from people who've built GIMP successfully this way.
Homebrew
Homebrew is similar to Macports and provides packages (aka formulas) to install, either by compiling them from source or by using pre-made binaries. There are indications that there is now a formula for GIMP, installable with:
brew tap homebrew/cask && brew install --cask gimp
NOTE! Please be aware that it was announced recently that Homebrew is using analytics. To turn this off, run:
brew analytics off
You can read more about this on Brew Analytics.
GIMP for Windows
Updated on 2025-03-25: GIMP 3.0.2 installer revision 1 Fixes impossibility to run Python plug-ins (#13170)
Warnings and information
-
Supported OS: Windows 10 or newer
- This is an all-in-one installer containing the following versions of GIMP: x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit and ARM 64-bit. It will automatically install the appropriate one.
- BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing system. It works by downloading GIMP from a distributed network of BitTorrent users, and may improve download speed dramatically. Choosing this option will download the torrent file for the GIMP installer. You may need to install a torrent client to make use of this file. Learn more...
