GIMP 3.2 Released With Many Improvements

Written by Michael Larabel in Free Software on 14 March 2026 at 02:38 PM EDT. 27 Comments
Just under one year since the long-awaited GIMP 3.0 release, GIMP 3.2 is out today as the first feature release building off the GIMP 3.0 foundation.

GIMP 3.2 brings new non-destructive layers support, an improved MyPaint Brush tool, a new "Overwrite" paint mode, SVG export support, various UI/UX improvements, and a lot of other polishing and enhancements to this leading open-source alternative to Adobe Photoshop.

Kudos to the GIMP developers on their goal for releasing less than one year after GIMP 3.0 on a more expedited timeline than the long-in-development GIMP 3.0 that saw porting from the GTK2 to GTK3 toolkit and other changes. Overall GIMP 3.2 is a nice incremental step forward for this popular Linux desktop program for graphics/image-related tasks.

GIMP 3.2 downloads and more details on this updated image manipulation / graphics program via GIMP.org.
