Apple has completed its acquisition of Pixelmator, the company behind Pixelmator Pro and Photomator. Paperwork reportedly wrapped in February following a late‑2024 announcement. Apple has now taken the next step by integrating the apps into its Support ecosystem, with new overview and troubleshooting resources for Pixelmator Pro, and references to Photomator interoperability.
Key points
- Acquisition timing: announced in late 2024; ownership finalized early 2025.
- Apple Support now features dedicated pages for Pixelmator Pro.
- Photomator is treated as a companion app with round‑tripping and iCloud sync noted.
Why it matters
Pixelmator’s tools are popular among Mac and iOS users for photo editing and image composition. Centralizing help on Apple Support should make it easier to learn features and troubleshoot issues, and may hint at deeper integration with Apple technologies going forward.
