Pixelmator Pro Lesson: Text on a Path! In this lesson that has been added to our full video tutorial on Pixelmator Pro see how we can now apply text to paths and shapes. This allows you to add text in a smooth arc or along a custom drawn path! Pixelmator 3.9 Classic is designed to integrate seamlessly with macOS Catalina's fresh and modern look, macOS Continuity features, like Handoff, iCloud Drive, and Continuity Camera, and it works wonderfully together with Pixelmator for iOS. What's New in Pixelmator Pro 1.7 Sequoia. Pixelmator Pro 1.7 Sequoia adds the ability to type text on paths and shapes, makes it possible to freely rotate the canvas to any angle, includes a friendly new welcome screen, and improves ML Super Resolution. Reasons for Choosing Pixelmator Pro 1.3.3 Prism: Photoshop is still the elephant in the room when you're talking about graphics apps, but I'd much rather pay $40 to own my own copy than $20/month to lease it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pixelmator Pro is an incredibly powerful, beautiful, and easy-to-use image editor for Mac. Just like the original Pixelmator, it's designed to make the most advanced professional image editing tools accessible to everyone.
For the same reason we created the original Pixelmator — we love image editing, we love the Mac, and we love making apps. We wanted to take all the knowledge we've gained over the many years of developing Pixelmator and create something totally new.
Not really. There were a few reasons for this. One: when Pixelmator Pro came out, a significant number of people would not have been able to run it as the app is built using new technologies that require a relatively new Mac. Two: Some of the changes might have been too drastic for a lot of people. This is a complete redesign and we didn't want to just replace a beloved app with a drastically redesigned new one, even if it will feel very familiar to almost every Pixelmator user. For those two reasons (and a few others), it made the most sense to release Pixelmator Pro as a brand new app.
What's going to happen to Pixelmator? Will you keep updating it?
We will eventually stop updating Pixelmator and remove it from sale on the App Store. Anyone who has already bought it will be able to redownload it, of course. Just like with any other Mac App Store app. What's more, before we retire it, we want to make sure even without updates, it will work reliably for a while longer for anyone who isn't quite ready to make the switch. And as Pixelmator Pro fully supports original Pixelmator files, shapes, gradients, brushes, and layer styles, whenever you feel like upgrading, you'll be able to switch without any trouble at all.
Sure! We created an app bundle on the Mac App Store for just that reason. The price you paid for the original Pixelmator will be subtracted from the total bundle price for a total discount of up to 50%. You can find the bundle on the Mac App Store.
Note: If you bought Pixelmator during a sale in certain regions, due to exchange rate fluctuations, the bundle may be more expensive than just the Pixelmator Pro app on its own. In this case, please subscribe to our newsletter and we'll let you know about any sales on Pixelmator Pro.
Note: Sometimes, the Mac App Store will not allow you to download Pixelmator Pro on another device after purchasing the bundle. If this happens, first download any free app from the Mac App Store on that device, then check your account to see whether Pixelmator Pro appears in the list of your purchased apps. If that doesn't help, please get in touch with us at support@pixelmator.com.
Absolutely. We have a completely free, 15-day trial that we've extended to 30 days for owners of the original Pixelmator. You can download it here.
We want to make it more powerful, more full-featured, and even easier to use. Since it was released nearly two years ago, Pixelmator Pro has already received four incredible major updates (a fifth is almost ready) and we have no plans to slow down. Our roadmap below includes some of the most exciting features planned for future updates.

Pixelmator 2.3 for iOS (Released on July 19, 2016)
Pixelmator 2.3 for iOS brings an incredible Quick Selection Tool, a powerful and precise Magnetic Selection Tool, features many small, but awesome improvements to the selection experience on iOS, and more.
New:
• The advanced Quick Selection Tool lets you make incredibly accurate selections.
• The smart Magnetic Selection Tool snaps precisely to the objects you trace.
• Many small, but awesome changes improve the selection experience on iOS.
Selection improvements:
• When making selections, you can now tap Invert to invert your selection.
• The outline of selections made with the Color Selection Tool is more precise thanks to a content-aware smoothing algorithm, which can recognize hard and smooth edges.
• The all-new marching ants design improves performance and has ants that actually march around your selections.
• The Color Selection Tool is now faster (especially on older devices).
• Added a Create New selection mode, which is now the default.
• A live preview of your final selection is now shown when using the Add or Subtract selection modes.
• You can now transform selections in the Arrange pane – go to the Tools menu > Format > Arrange to find it.
• Selections now snap to layers and the canvas, just like layers do (but you can turn this off by turning off Guides).
• Selections made with the Free Selection, Rectangular Selection, and Elliptical Selection tools now always snap to pixels, meaning there won't be any unwanted, half-transparent pixels at the edges of a selection when you copy, delete, or transform it.
• The selection paths of the Free Selection Tool are now made up of twice as many points, which makes those selections more smooth.
• Selections are now clipped to the canvas, which makes it easier to precisely select objects at the edges of your image.
• When you open up Select with an already selected area, the selection tool that you were using previously will automatically become active so you can continue from where you left off.
• The Refine Selection slider is now wider.
• When using the Free Selection and Magnetic Selection tools, there is now a point showing you the end of the selection path.
• If you tapped Refine while having a selection from two parts (created with the Add or Subtract selection modes), the two selections would be merged into one with no way to separate them – now, they'll be separate even after you refine your selection.
• When you add to or subtract from a selection using the Quick Selection or Color Selection tools, the selection is updated immediately and you don't have to tap outside the selection.
• Removed Selection Tip Labels, which used to have tips like ‘Drag to add to selection' and ‘Tap outside selection' as the new way the selection tools work doesn't need them.
• When moving a selected area, dragging inside the selection will move it, dragging outside the selection will pan the image.
• When using the Quick Selection or Color Selection tools, you can now start a new selection from inside an already selected area. Previously, this would move the selection (now, tap and hold the selection to move it).
• When using the Add or Subtract selection modes, you can now drag inside an already selected area to edit it. Previously, this would move the selection (now, tap and hold the selection to move it).
• The selection outline that is added as you select with the Free Selection Tool now has a subtle animation.
• When making selections with the Quick Selection or Color Selection tools, the overlay that shows a preview of your selection now fades into the marching ants.
• Tapping Undo after transforming a selected area sometimes used to make that area flicker. Fixed.
• If you transformed a selection and then painted inside it, an unnecessary ‘Apply Selection Transform' undo step used to be added between the ‘Transform' and ‘Paint' steps – it's now just the one step.
• An unnecessary ‘Apply Selection Transform' undo step was also added if you cancelled out of Adjust Colors, Crop, Distort, or Retouch after transforming a selection – that undo step is also gone.
• When using the Free Selection Tool, quickly tapping could sometimes make really small selections instead of adding points (especially when using Apple Pencil). Fixed.
Improvements and bug fixes:
• Use a two finger double tap to zoom in or zoom to fit.
• The 9:16 aspect ratio is now in the list of ratios in Crop.
• The request to let Pixelmator access your Photos library wouldn't appear if you tried to save to Photos before having opened an image from Photos – it does now.
• If you use Copy to Photos to save a new image to your Photos library, you'll now be able to use Save to Photos to save over that new image.
• The distance from which layers and selections snap to other elements in the image is now smaller, making it easier to move objects precisely while still having Guides enabled.
• When using Paint and Erase, Retouch, Distort, or Select, holding or tapping with two fingers will never be interpreted as a tool input, so you can zoom and pan more carefully without accidentally editing the image.
• If you drag a layer that is not selected (the transform handles are not visible) and it does not fit in the screen, the layer will not be moved. To move it – first, tap to select it.
• If a layer is not selected, quickly swiping over the layer will not move it.
• When you hold two fingers to rotate a layer but one or both fingers are outside the currently selected layer, other layers in your image will not be selected – first tap to select the layer you want to rotate, then hold two fingers inside it to start rotating.
• Certain third-party apps include separate text information when copying and pasting images and this text would be pasted into Pixelmator instead of the image. Now, the image will always be pasted.
• Improved how the swipe gesture is detected when opening or closing the Layers bar, making it much easier to do this.
• It is now easier to resize very narrow layers.
• Zoom animations are a little more smooth as they now have subtle ease-out transitions.
• When moving an area of an image with an active selection, the Rulers will now show the position of that area correctly.
• Changing the width of the speech bubble shape's tail used to be impossible if the other green handles of the shape were not visible. Fixed.
• Fixed an issue that caused Pixelmator to quit unexpectedly when closing a group in the Layers bar while using Adjust Colors or Distort.
Apple Pencil improvements and bug fixes:
• The brush size of the Quick Selection Tool is pressure-sensitive – press more firmly for a larger selection brush, less so for a smaller one.
• Selections made using Apple Pencil and the Free Selection Tool are now more accurate.
• The transform handle area is now smaller, giving you more precision.
• Layers could sometimes move slightly when tapping to select them. Fixed.
Pixelmator for iPhone improvements:
• The Select and Distort tool choosers are now laid out more symmetrically.
• The selection mode in the Select tool chooser is highlighted more clearly.
• Tapping to choose a selection mode will now close the Select tool chooser.
Pixelmator 2.2.1 for iOS (Released on December 17, 2015)
