Integrity

SHA-256 and digital signature

Compare the published hash for the Windows setup before you trust a new download.

  1. Download the installer, then compute SHA-256 with PowerShell Get-FileHash.
  2. Confirm the hash matches the value above exactly.
  3. Open file Properties → Digital Signatures and confirm the signature validates.

Timeline

Recent GIMP releases

High-level notes from the 3.x line, ending at the current stable 3.2.4.

  1. Current

    3.2.4 · 2026-04-17

    Maintenance release with a new Windows WIA scanner plug-in (File → Create → Scanner/Camera), an XCF parsing fix dating back to 1999, and additional stability and UX fixes.

  2. 3.2.2

    Point release after 3.2.0. Windows builds dropped 32-bit packages in this window, which temporarily removed the old TWAIN scanner path until WIA returned in 3.2.4.

  3. 3.2.0

    Major feature drop: Link Layers, Vector Layers, Rasterize workflow, MyPaint v2 brushes, Overwrite paint, Vibrance, DDS BC7, stronger PSD import, and print ink coverage tools.

  4. 3.0

    GTK3 port and the modern GIMP 3 foundation that later 3.2 non-destructive layers build on.

Antivirus notes

False positives on new installers

Forum and Softonic-adjacent discussions often mention heuristic alerts on freshly published builds. That does not mean the official GIMP binary is malware.

  • Verify SHA-256 and the digital signature before restoring a quarantined file.
  • Windows SmartScreen may warn on low-reputation new files. Treat that as reputation lag, not automatic proof of harm.
  • If the hash matches and the signature is valid, restore the file from quarantine and continue.
