Seashore is a free, open-source image editor designed specifically for macOS, offering a simpler and more Mac-native alternative to GIMP. It features layer support, alpha channel editing, gradients, textures, anti-aliasing for text and brushstrokes, and supports the GIMP XCF file format alongside PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, and other common image formats. Seashore is aimed at casual to intermediate users who need straightforward image editing without the complexity of professional tools. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSeashore now ships with a native Apple Silicon build, as confirmed by users in the Rosetta Check community. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native build, the simplest approach is to visit the Mac App Store and update Seashore from there — the App Store automatically serves the Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs. If you originally downloaded Seashore directly from the vendor's website rather than the App Store, you can also visit the official source to download the latest native installer. After updating, your existing projects and preferences will carry over without any migration needed. Expect noticeably faster performance and better battery life during image editing operations compared to running the old Intel build under Rosetta.
