Pixelmator Pro’s arrival on iPad is one of the most significant expansions in Apple Creator Studio. Built specifically for touch and Apple Pencil, it rethinks professional image editing around direct interaction.

This is not a simplified port. It is a full reimagining optimized for iPadOS and Apple silicon.

Design Without Barriers

A full Layers sidebar, advanced selection tools, vector and bitmap masks, and Apple Pencil support allow complex compositions anywhere. Features like hover, squeeze, and double-tap enhance precision and speed.

The experience feels immediate, responsive, and distinctly Apple.

Intelligent Editing Tools

Super Resolution intelligently upscales images while preserving detail. Deband removes compression artifacts. Auto Crop suggests compositions that feel intentional rather than automatic.

Warp tools and mockups add flexibility for product visuals and creative experimentation.

Seamless Mac and iPad Workflow

Projects move easily between Mac and iPad, allowing creators to sketch, refine, and finalize without breaking flow.
