Diffraction | Image Editor

Diffraction is a powerful, comprehensive image editor and vector design tool designed specifically for macOS. Tailored for professional photographers, digital artists, and creative hobbyists, Diffraction provides a seamless, modern workflow to enhance photos, create stunning vector graphics, and design complex layouts in a single application.

The Ultimate Hybrid Workflow

Diffraction removes the barrier between bitmap and vector. Every layer supports up to two canvases (content and mask), allowing you to paint with pixel brushes or draw with vector paths on the exact same canvas without switching modes. Create complex vector masks or precise vector selections instantly and effortlessly. It just works.

Full Vector Design Suite

Create infinitely scalable vector artwork with precision using a robust set of tools, including the Pen, Sketch Pen, and advanced Path and Anchor Editors. Combine shapes seamlessly with boolean vector operations or utilize built-in geometric shapes like Rectangles, Ovals, Polygons, Stars, and Spirals. When your design is complete, export your vector masterworks directly to industry-standard SVG format.

Advanced Typography & Text-on-Path

Integrate beautiful, fully editable typography into your projects with ultimate control. Flow text inside custom-shaped vector containers or warp text smoothly along the edge of any vector path or custom contour. Designing stunning typography and creative layouts is intuitive and flexible.

Professional Photo Editing & Adjustment Layers

Import your photos from popular formats like JPEG, HEIC, and layered PSD documents. Adjust images with robust crop, resize, scale, and rotate functions. Modify colors non-destructively using adjustment layers for levels, curves, exposure, vibrance, color balance, and shadows/highlights recovery. Give your photos instant depth and clarity with the unified Texture, Clarity & Dehaze filter, or explore classic filters to blur, distort, and sharpen.

AI-Powered Masking & Smart Repair

Diffraction harnesses advanced artificial intelligence to streamline your workflow. Automatically create precise selection masks of people or specific objects with a single click. Effortlessly remove dust, blemishes, unwanted objects, or persons using AI-backed intelligent repair in the Spot Removal tool and Fill dialogs. Perfect portraits in seconds with the automated Soften Skin filter.

Natural Painting & Retouching

Express your digital artistry with powerful brush and pencil tools. Enhance and perfect every detail using classic darkroom tools like dodge & burn, clone stamp, smudge, and spot removal, giving you the flexibility to perfect every pixel.
