Download Gimp APK for Android and install

I would love to guide you on how to download and install Gimp APK for Android in just five simple steps. But first lets have some basic knowledge of APK files. Android Package Kit is an Android application package file format used for distributing files and installing them on Android OS devices. Installing apps and games from APK file is a simple and straightforward process which you will remember forever when done once. It is a safe and working way to avoid restrictions made by developers for distributing apps in some geographical regions.

Step 1: Download Gimp APK on your Android device

Tap the blue button below and navigate to the download page. There you will choose the available download method.

Step 2: Choose the download method

Have in mind that some apps and games may not be available in Google Play for your country of residence. You can choose to save the APK file from Android Freeware mirrors instead of downloading the software from the Play Store. We are proud to serve your working mirrors 99.9% of the time.

Step 3: Allow installation of third party apps.

If you get an installation warning after starting the saved file, click Menu > Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources to allow installations from this source! This has to be done only the first time you are installing an unknown APK file.

Step 4: Find and install the downloaded APK file

I suggest using a file manager app (MiXPlorer is my choice as robust and easy to use) to locate Gimp apk file. It is most commonly located in the Downloads folder. Open it now and proceed to installation (check out this How to Download and Install APK and XAPK files guide if you experience difficulties).

Step 5: Launch the app and enjoy

Start the installed Gimp app and enjoy it!

Is It safe?

I strongly recommend Gimp as good photo editor software. With over 4189+ and counting downloads, it is a safe app to download, install, and share with friends.

Note that the APK file can run on every popular android emulator.

GIMP for Android

Hi. Android users might be interested in this:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntusources are here: https://github.com/pelya/cuntubuntu

It's a Debian/Ubuntu environment, launched on Android inside fakechrootsession,
the GIMP is pre-installed, and is the only application that works reliablyin that kind-of-an-emulation
(the other app that works is AbiWord, and I've failed to launchOpenOffice/LibreOffice,
because it depends on way too many intricate Linux stuff likepseudo-terminals).

It differs from other Linux for Android installers, because it does notrequire rooting your device -
it will run on any stock Android device, as long as it has 200 Mb internalmemory and 350 Mb external storage -all you need is to click Install button on Google Play.All devices released this year will satisfy that requirement, however olderdevices usually have very little internal memory.

The user interface is a straight conversion from the desktop, so it's quiteunmanageable for fingers,
however if you're lucky owner of a Galaxy Note or other device with astylus (or a Bluetooth mouse),
you can manage to perform some simple tasks.

I've already abandoned the development, because it generated almost nodownloads on Google Play,
however I might wish to release some app like 'Gimp for Galaxy Note andit's stylus',
which will be the same Ubuntu environment, with only GIMP available and allother useless stuff stripped,
like desktop environment and package manager. Also I want to replace theXtightvncAndroid-VNC-viewer
combo, and implement my own Android native X server based on XSDL and myown SDL port,
which will provide the 24bpp screen color depth and other slightimprovements.
I definitely won't do that this year, and probably not the next one (read:never), because there are already
quite a lot of drawing and photo editing apps for Android, some of themeven support layers,
and users will definitely bitch about the touch-unfriendly interface.

Anyway, If you'll still find GIMP on Android useful, even the way it isnow, you may try to convince me
to continue development, or ask advice if you want to develop it yourself(put my email to CC, I'm not subscribed to the mailing lists).

GIMP for Android

Ot is actually a very interesting concept and worth continuing.It will removeall problems of android which would make it more intensive user wise.For egthere is really no good app equivalent to GIMP despite there being variousapps which offer partial features(Try inserting a custom made arrow in anyof these apps to label amedical drawing for eg)

GIMP for Android

I don't think it is a good idea to use scarce resources on androiddevelopment. Android is like Trojan horse for Linux. It looks like freeand is proprietary deep inside. It takes all the good things from theopen source world and does not give back even specifications ofhardware it runs on. Linux is slowing down its development aimed towardsdesktops now and Android is among reasons of that sucking the resourcesout of the open source ecosystem and moving from phones and pads towardsdesktops itself.

All IMHO, of course.

GIMP for Android

I can see where you might think that about Android but since the source to Android is released, I don't really feel that is so. The hardware drivers and such are being controlled by the hardware vendors and that's just a fact we have to accept for now. This is also the case of desktop Linux where nVidia is concerned. And yes, I'm with Torvalds on that subject.

In some respects, I see the non-open, non-public development of Android as an advantage at present. One of the problems of open and public development is the speed at which things are developed. This is an advantage that is typically exclusive to closed source development. So in Android, we have a more rapidly developed, singularly focused, professional platform that also happens to have the source code made available to the public once the releases come out.

It's a good compromise and one that enables all manner of custom ROMs for phones, tablets and other devices out there.

Android is not sucking resources from the Desktop. Desktop Linux development has ALWAYS been too slow for most people. At times, it is because of bureaucratic committees like XFree86 and at others, it is due to a lot of fighting. It's an unfortunate side-effect of a democratic type of system.

The current state of Android is limited to appliance style usage. I don't see, now, how GiMP would fit in unless it were somehow 'lite'd into a much more simple form and possibly integrated into a camera app. GiMP all but requires the use of mouse and keyboard both of which are rarely used with Android devices.

Would I want to play with GiMP for Android? You bet! It would be fun. But that's about all for now.

Is Android going to be the way Linux gets into the workplace? I'm beginning to think so more and more. Google is inching its way into the enterprise more and more and BYOD is only the beginning of how it is coming to pass. So having important software like GiMP and LibreOffice available for use on Android makes a lot of sense as a future vision type of thing to work on now.

Microsoft has demonstrated how bad it can be for those who are too late to the party. I think Android will show that it will cost them dearly.

Just so you know what I see computing evolving into in the future, I see this:

The computer is the thing in your pocket. The interface is the thing which connects with your computer. The interface varies based on where you use the computer. On the desktop you can go to your screen, keyboard and mouse (KVM). At home, it could be many things including the TV and/or another KVM but the computer will integrate with a lot more including home automation, backup and archive storage and the like. In the car, it integrates where you would expect it to... your steering wheel with controls, your dashboard with displays, your windscreen with a HUD and lots more.

To accomplish this, the computer must be very small and very portable. It may not even have to be all that powerful as powerful functions can be shared and offloaded to its interface devices. (Consider, for example, how we can have high performance USB video devices)

This is not a feat Micrsosoft will EVER be able to accomplish using Windows. But it is something which Android is particularly well suited for.
