Though this list is meant for macOS, almost all of the apps here supports Windows and Linux. Editing a photo with Apple native Photo App for publishing at InstagramĪs I consulted with some friends who are doing photography, and they are also Apple users for years, I was shocked that they don't know about free open source alternatives, so here comes this list. Unlike Windows which has many free software alternatives macOS has a limited set of open-source software for photo editing, I noticed this while looking for alternatives to edit images I shot with phone and camera. As I started using macOS alongside Linux years ago, I kept using open-source software. Commercial photo editing software is not for everyone, most of them are for professionals, some are not easy to learn and overall they are not cheap.
