With a history of over 20 years, GIMP is perhaps one of the most known open-source alternatives to more pricey photo editors out there. Portable GIMP is the no-install version of GIMP and provides the same vast array of features and functions for editing and retouching photos.
Since it is a portable app, it does not require installation so you can simply download and decompress the archive in any desired location. As many users will point out, one of the issues of the program is the Interface which is not exactly what you would call user-friendly. In fact, it can be safe to say that the tool implies a learning curve since even some simple edits are not as intuitive for first-time users.
Then again, once you learn the ropes, you can discover that the program provides advanced features and functions for complex retouching and post-processing. Among the features worth mentioning, you can count layer styles, custom brush creation, content-aware resizing and color removing and it can even import palette files from other editors.
It is worth mentioning that the tool is compatible with all operating systems and enables you to use older versions, a minor aspect that is not possible with Photoshop, for instance. Speaking of compatibility, the application enables you to add quite a robust number of plugins, most of them free of charge.
If you want to enhance the app's overall functionality, you have a high chance of finding an add-on for it. On a side note, there are even plugins that allow you to change the UI completely or use third-party Photoshop filters.
Without denying that tools like Photoshop are amazing tools that enable you to stick to the industry standards, they may be restrictive in terms of price. As an open-source alternative, Portable GIMP can be a great choice for small businesses as well as hobbyists who need a simple, yet very capable graphic editing tool.

What's new in Portable GIMP 2.10.36:
- Core:
- Disable Arbitrary Rotation menus (under both Image and Layer menus) if no image is active, for consistency.
- New gradient available: FG to Transparent (Hardedge) gradient.
- A change in linuxwacom made some graphics tablet crash GIMP. Though the issue is in the driver (downgrading it "fixes" the issue), it was bad enough that a workaround was also added in GIMP code so that we don't crash with the newer driver. A fix was also merged on linuxwacom itself:
