Apple acquired Pixelmator, a photo editing application widely used on Mac and iOS platforms.

While Pixelmator confirmed that it was purchased by Apple in a statement on its blog site, the company stated that through this acquisition, it aims to reach a wider user base and make a greater impact on the lives of creative people around the world. Pixelmator team made the following statements regarding the details of the acquisition:

“Pixelmator has signed an agreement to be acquired by Apple, subject to regulatory approval. There will be no significant changes to the applications at this stage. Stay tuned for exciting updates to come.”

Pixelmator’s acquisition has not yet gone through the legal process

Although Apple has purchased Pixelmator, the legal approval process required for the Lithuania-based company to come under the umbrella of Apple continues. While the company does not provide further details on this issue, it is a known fact that some major deals in the technology world have been disrupted recently due to regulatory pressure.

For example, although Microsoft had a successful acquisition of Activision Blizzard, NVIDIA’s acquisition of Arm, Amazon’s iRobot, and Adobe’s acquisition of Figma were hit by many obstacles.

What is Apple planning with Pixelmator?

Apple’s past acquisitions provide some clues about the future of this new acquisition.

For example, Dark Sky, the weather application that Apple purchased in 2020, was closed two years later, and its technology was integrated into Apple’s own weather application. It is currently unclear whether this situation will also occur in Pixelmator.
