Reviews praise Pixelmator Pro’s speed, polish, and Mac-first feel, often highlighting it as a capable Photoshop alternative with strong updates and support. Makers of
Penjo value it for quick screenshot and icon edits; makers of
1000 Happy Dads used it for logo, branding, and slide design; makers of
Duory relied on it for app icons and App Store visuals. Users love its performance and bitmap editing, though some note missing Lightroom-like features, especially masking, and niche platform wishes like Apple TV.
