What is GIMP? GNU Image Manipulation Program

Even though Linux is an operating system used by many users today, it still does not support many software and programs, and naturally, alternatives or derivatives of these software and programs emerge.

Here is one of those program derivatives: GIMP.

GIMP is a program released to serve as a replacement for Photoshop on Linux.

With GIMP plugins, it can be as functional as Photoshop. With its Turkish interface and advanced features comparable to Photoshop, it comes to the aid of Linux users for visual processing and saves the day.

Anyway, now that we’ve given a basic piece of information about GIMP, let’s get to some details like its expansion, although it’s already written in the title, let’s mention it again.

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.

With GIMP, you can access and edit all kinds of visual processing files. It supports many extensions like PSD, PNG, JPG. Extensions it does not support can be enabled by installing auxiliary plugins.

Because GIMP is a free and open-source software, if you have coding knowledge, you can also contribute additions to the program wherever you see a shortcoming.

You can download GIMP from its official website for both Linux and other operating systems.
