Apple is buying the developer of one of the iPhone's best photo-editing apps

<p>Apple is set to buy a notable developer of photo-editing apps. The company is acquiring Pixelmator, pending regulatory approval. Terms of the deal haven't been disclosed.</p>
<p>While it seems likely that Apple will eventually bake some of Pixelmator's tech into its own Camera and Photos apps, the latter said &quot;there will be no material changes to the <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2017-09-05-pixelmator-pro.html">Pixelmator Pro[/url], <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/pixelmator-photo-iphone-app-150045119.html">Pixelmator for iOS[/url] and Photomator apps at this time.&quot; However, it promised there will be &quot;exciting updates&quot; in the future.</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Pixelmator <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.pixelmator.com/blog/2024/11/01/a-new-home-for-pixelmator/">said in a statement[/url] that it has taken inspiration from Apple since the very beginning of its 17-year existence and that it has similarly focused on &quot;design, ease of use and performance.&quot; After the deal closes and it joins Apple, Pixelmator expects to &quot;have the ability to reach an even wider audience and make an even bigger impact on the lives of creative people around the world.&quot;</p>
<p>For quite some time, Pixelmator's apps have been a popular alternative to the likes of Photoshop within the Apple ecosystem. Its tools are available on Mac, iPhone, iPad and even Vision Pro.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/apple-is-buying-the-developer-of-one-of-the-iphones-best-photo-editing-apps-165853866.html?src=rss
