Pixelmator is undoubtedly the top choice for photo and image editing applications on Mac, second only to the significantly pricier Photoshop. If you purchased Pixelmator Classic in the past but haven’t upgraded to Pixelmator Pro (or maybe you don’t require the new features), you might want to know how to download and install Pixelmator Classic on a Mac, whether it’s a brand-new M1/M2 machine or a fresh installation on an older model.

Although you won’t find a direct download link for the older version on the Pixelmator Classic website, there’s a simple way to retrieve it if you originally obtained Pixelmator from the Mac App Store. This method works for reinstalling Pixelmator Classic on any new macOS setup or on a new Mac, regardless of whether it’s running macOS Sonoma or equipped with an M1 or M2 chip. Ensure Rosetta 2 is installed on M-series Macs to enable Pixelmator Classic’s functionality.

How to Download Pixelmator Classic on a New Mac via the Mac App Store

If you’ve acquired a new Mac or are setting up a fresh macOS environment and wish to install Pixelmator Classic:

1. Launch the Mac App Store.

2. Tap your name in the lower-left corner to access your account and apps.

3. In the “Mac” section, find “Pixelmator Classic” and click the blue download button.

4. After downloading, select “Open” to start using Pixelmator.

5. On M2/M1 Macs or newer models, you may be asked to install Rosetta 2 if it hasn’t been installed yet.

6. Operate Pixelmator Classic as needed.

You’ve now successfully installed Pixelmator Classic on your new Mac configuration, and it’s functioning well.

If you haven’t previously owned Pixelmator or Pixelmator Classic and still desire to install it on a new Mac or macOS setup, you can still find the application available for download on various third-party platforms, such as this link from MacUpdate, which offers a free 30-day trial. However, registration or purchasing a copy of the classic version is no longer possible. If you’re considering buying any version of Pixelmator, opt for Pixelmator Pro instead.
