PhotoScape X is a free, full-featured photo editor for macOS that combines viewing, editing, batch processing, collage creation, and GIF authoring in a single application. It offers dozens of filters, effects, text tools, object manipulation, RAW photo support, and a range of stickers and patterns for creative work. While less powerful than professional tools like Photoshop, it is designed as an accessible alternative for casual photographers and hobbyists. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
