AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find reliable public information about whether HitPaw Photo Enhancer has a native Apple Silicon build. The app may still be Intel-only, distributed exclusively through the vendor's own website, or recently updated with a native version that has not yet been widely documented. Contact HitPaw directly through their website or support channels to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary or native arm64) build is available now, and if not, when one is planned. This is important because an Intel-only build will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If no native version is planned or the vendor is unresponsive, consider switching to an actively maintained alternative such as Topaz Gigapixel AI, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or ON1 Photo RAW — all of which run natively on Apple Silicon and offer similar AI-powered enhancement features.
