Unofficial AppImage of GIMP that includes PhotoGIMP.

To use PhotoGIMP simply rename the AppImage to contain PhotoGIMP in the filename:

  • PhotoGIMP.AppImage and plain photogimp. Setting env var ENABLE_PHOTO_GIMP=1 or passing the flag --photogimp also work.

  • This will cause it to create a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/PhotoGIMP directory and copy over the PhotoGIMP config files.

  • It will also make a desktop entry in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/PhotoGIMP-AppImage.desktop and copy needed icons to $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons

Once done you will be able to keep using PhotoGIMP by launching the new desktop entry, you are also able to use both regular GIMP and PhotoGIMP both at the same time.

  • To uninstall PhotoGIMP simply run it with the --remove-photogimp flag.

AppImage made using sharun, which makes it extremely easy to turn any binary into a portable package without using containers or anything like that.

This AppImage bundles everything and should work on any linux distro, even on musl based ones.

It is possible that this appimage may fail to work with appimagelauncher, I recommend these alternatives instead:

  • AM am -e pkgforge-dev/GIMP-appimage gimp

  • dbin dbin install gimp.appimage

  • soar soar install gimp

This appimage works without fuse2 as it can use fuse3 instead, it can also work without fuse at all thanks to the uruntime
