Apple set to acquire image editing apps Pixelmator and Photomator
Apple is set to acquire Pixelmator, the renowned image editing software company known for its user-friendly apps like Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator for iOS, and Photomator. This news, pending regulatory approval, was announced yesterday by the Pixelmator team via a blog post.
For current Pixelmator users, the company assures that there will be no immediate significant changes to their existing apps. However, they hinted at exciting updates in the pipeline, leaving users eager to see what the future holds.
This isn’t the first time Apple has acquired a popular app. Remember Dark Sky, the hyperlocal weather app? Apple acquired it and then integrated its features into its own Weather app. There are other examples too, like Workflow, which evolved into the Shortcuts app, and others that were absorbed with varying degrees of success.
