The image editing software Pixelmator Pro ushered in a version 3.1 update, adding support for Apple’s macOS 13 Ventura and AVIF file formats.

Pixelmator Pro is now fully compatible with macOS 13 Ventura, the latest upgrade to Apple’s Mac operating system. Users can multitask with pre-stage scheduling, switch between Pixelmator Pro windows or other applications, bring up quick-view previews of Pixelmator Profiles, and more.

Moreover, Pixelmator Pro 3.1 has made a complete overhaul of file opening. Performance improvements allow users to preview and open Pixelmator Pro files faster than ever before. Pixelmator Pro file quick-view previews now open quickly in Spotlight and Finder, allowing users to edit even larger files, such as simulations, even faster.

Another new addition is support for the AVIF format. AVIF, or AV1 Image File Format, is a next-generation image format designed to produce high-quality images for the Web at a smaller file size. Apple added support for AVIF files in macOS 13 Ventura’s Safari browser, and Pixelmator Pro can now open and edit these images.

With improved corner radius editing, users can adjust the radius of individual shape corners. The company also added smoother corner styles to create rounded rectangles, a shape Apple popularized with iOS app icons and hardware.

Pixelmator Pro is available on the Mac App Store for $39.99. Requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later and is fully optimized for Apple Silicon Macs.
