PhotoScape X

What PhotoScape X is

PhotoScape X is a photo editor for macOS and Windows, with tools for editing individual images and handling broader photo tasks. Its editing controls cover cropping, resizing, color adjustment, film effects, overlays, HDR, dehaze, curves, levels, and sharpening. Brushes include spot healing, mixer, mosaic, effect, and paint; additional tools provide red eye correction, liquify, and clone stamp. The Cut Out tool removes an image background. PhotoScape X also supports RAW images, layers, masking, batch editing, and AI retouching, and includes a Photos Extension among its key features.

Beyond editing, the app provides a photo viewer, collage maker, animated GIF creator, combine and print tools, screen capture, and color picker. Its free plan costs nothing and includes in-app purchases. Pro features are available as an in-app purchase. On Mac, the app requires macOS 13.0 or later. The App Store lists the Mac app as available only for Mac, in English and 11 additional languages, and names Mooii Tech as its developer. The developer indicates that the app does not collect data; Apple says this privacy information has not been verified by Apple.
