Apple is buying popular photo editing app Pixelmator – and Photos could soon get a huge upgrade


  • Apple just acquired the popular photo editing app Pixelmator
  • There will be no changes to the Pixelmator app “at this time.”
  • The move could be a big boost for photo editing on iPhones and Macs

Apple just bought the popular photo editing app Pixelmator – and that could be big news for photo editing on iPhones, iPads and Macs.

The news was surprisingly shared by Pixelmator blog poststating that it has “signed an agreement to be acquired by Apple, subject to regulatory approval.” That approval will likely be a formality, as Pixelmator is far from the biggest fish in the image editing pool.
