Picsart Desktop App for Linux & macOS

The Picsart Desktop App is a powerful AI image editing tool for Linux and macOS, designed to make professional-quality edits right from your computer. You can instantly remove backgrounds, upscale images up to 8×, and enhance visuals without relying on complex design software. It’s ideal for e-commerce sellers, marketers, photographers, and content creators.

For Linux, download the AppImage, .deb, or Flatpak package from our official site. For macOS, download the installer and drag the app into your Applications folder. Sign in with your Picsart account, and you’re ready to edit.

The app is free to install, and you receive 200 credits upon signup. These credits can be used for edits like background removal or upscaling. Once your credits run out, you can choose between pay-as-you-go or subscription plans, with discounts for bulk purchases.

Credits are a universal unit for using Picsart tools. Each operation—such as removing a background—costs a set number of credits. Utility functions, like checking your balance, are free. Buy more credits anytime, with bigger packages offering better value.

The app supports JPG, PNG, TIFF, WEBP, and MPO formats, making it compatible with most professional and consumer workflows.
