Acorn 8.6.1 for Mac
Acorn 8.6.1 for Mac Free Download
A native macOS image editor from Flying Meat Inc. that combines layer-based photo retouching, vector shapes, non-destructive filters, and broad export formats in a single-window app without a subscription.
You open photos or start a blank canvas, organize work in layers with masks and blend modes, then retouch with clone, dodge, burn, smudge, and customizable brushes. Non-destructive curves, levels, and stacked filters let you revisit adjustments later; vector tools handle arrows, Bézier paths, and text on a path for labels and simple layouts. The Command Bar (⌘⇧O) jumps to menu commands or help topics, while Apple Shortcuts, AppleScript, JavaScript, and the acorncli shell tool automate batch crops, exports, and resizing.
Version 8 added AI subject selection, Live Text extraction, data-driven graphics via CSV merge, LUT color grading, JPEG-XL import and export, super-resolution resizing, and layered screenshots. Acorn reads PSD, SVG, RAW, HEIC, WebP, and many other formats, then exports through a live-preview panel to PNG, JPEG, GIF, PDF, and more. ML models for background removal and super resolution download on first use, which keeps the base app smaller for users who skip those features.
