You might see other “GIMP ” on the Microsoft Store, so you must be careful. For the official package, make sure you use the link we provide:

While others distributing GIMP is not necessary a problem (we even have a page explaining why selling GIMP is not illegal), we have no way to know what is actually in a third-party package, hence we cannot vouch for them.

Problems could be malware 😱 participating in botnets, hack your files or other computers or perhaps just steal CPU resources. Some are charging for their packages while using deceptive wording — seeming to be the official GIMP team — and at the same time introducing subtle bugs or significant problems like uploading opened images behind the users back. The official GIMP packages do not contain malware nor do they upload your files. We have a strict Privacy Policy. Our packages are also free of charge.

These are not all cases, and other third-party packagers may be doing a great job adding value (user support, additional documentation, more filters…) so you are welcome to continue using these as long as you are aware they are not related to us. Anyway we saw enough problematic cases that we are happy to announce GIMP being now officially distributed on the Microsoft Store so that everyone can get GIMP from its source.
