Pixelmator, based in Vilnius, Lithuania, has announced an upcoming merger with Apple. Neither Apple nor Pixelmator have disclosed the value of the deal.
Pixelmator owns popular photo editing applications such as Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator for iOS, and Photomator. Pixelmator has developed a highly regarded creative toolset that competes with Adobe products while focusing on ease of use and high performance. The company's applications are currently only available on Apple platforms, including Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
The Pixelmator team expressed excitement about joining Apple, stating that they were inspired by Apple and strive to design products with a similar focus on design and user experience. They believe the acquisition will provide access to a larger customer base and increase their influence among creative professionals worldwide .
For existing users, Pixelmator says there won't be major changes to the existing apps, but exciting updates are expected in the near future.
Over time, Pixelmator has become an integral part of Apple's ecosystem, with the Pixelmator Pro and Photomator apps being quite popular. These apps have also been enhanced with numerous AI and machine learning features, including background removal tools and Super Resolution.
Pixelmator Pro is considered a user-friendly, professional image editing tool. Photomator, on the other hand, is the ultimate photo editor for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro.
Apple often acquires businesses with potential but rarely announces these acquisitions publicly. The most recent example is Apple's acquisition of Dark Sky in 2020. Prior to that, Apple also acquired Workflow in 2017 before launching the Shortcuts app.
