A native, GPU-accelerated, layer-based image editor for Linux, offered as a single binary with no subscription.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The editor organizes work around editable layers, masks, groups, adjustment layers, smart objects, and GPU-composited previews rather than a browser canvas. Its stated file coverage includes layered PSD, DNG, editable SVG, animated GIF, APNG, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and WebP. The page also specifies 16-bit-per-channel processing, ICC profiles, CMYK opened as four inks, 27 blend modes, 14 adjustments, and 30 full-resolution-previewed filters.
