Overview
Compositor brings layers, masks, selections, filters, retouching, and PSD import to a free, open source Mac app built around familiar image editing workflows.
About
Compositor is made for people who build an image from layers rather than make a quick crop and move on. It has folders, masks, blend modes, selection tools, brushes, text, shapes, and color adjustments. The layout and shortcuts will feel familiar to Photoshop users, especially for compositing and photo finishing.
It can open PSD and PSB files and export PNG, JPEG, and PDF. Some Photoshop content is converted or flattened during import, so a complex file is worth checking before you move a project over. Compositor runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 26 or later.
