Apple Snaps Up Pixelmator: What's Next for the Photo-Editing App?

Pixelmator, a popular photo-editing app, has been acquired by Apple. The company, based in Vilnius, Lithuania, announced the news on Friday. For now, Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator for iOS, and Photomator apps will stay the same. But who knows what changes might come? Apple has a history of integrating new features into its existing apps. Pixelmator has been around since 2007, and its founders are excited about reaching a wider audience. The deal hasn't been finalized yet, though. It still needs regulatory approval. This comes at a time when Apple is getting more serious about AI in its imaging apps. They recently added a feature called Clean Up, which removes stuff from photos. It's like Apple's answer to Google's Magic Eraser. Apple hasn't said much about the acquisition. But it's clear that Pixelmator's features could soon be part of Apple's Photos app. As for Android users, don't hold your breath. Pixelmator is not currently available on Android, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon.
