What PhotoLine is

PhotoLine is a desktop image and graphics editor for photo editing, web graphics and print documents prepared as PDFs. It runs on Windows and macOS; the listed requirements are Windows 10 or 11 and macOS 10.13 or later, with Intel and Arm versions of the macOS download. Image tools support up to 32-bit color depth per channel, CMYK and Lab color spaces, ICC color management and lossless processing. PhotoLine handles IPTC and EXIF metadata, keyword assignment and search, and can create image catalogues and HTML galleries. It imports and exports PDFs, retaining text and vector graphics as editable layers where possible. Other document tools include multipage layouts and text flowing along paths or between boxes. Web and animation features include web export, image tiling, image maps, and animated GIF or Flash files. The listed tools also include batch conversion, slideshows and action recording. PhotoLine is paid software with a 30-day trial. In the trial, saved GIF images are marked “Demo,” TIFF saving is limited to uncompressed files, and registration messages appear.
