About Skylum Software

Hi! We are Skylum
Skylum is a global imaging technology company based in Kyiv. In 2008, we were a small startup called MacPhun, but now we’ve grown into a huge company committed to expanding the frontiers of photo editing. We create intuitive, powerful, and easy-to-use tools for photographers of all skill levels.

Our innovative technology empowers photographers, allowing them to seamlessly carry out professional editing techniques, while encouraging creative freedom. For us, it's not just about developing software, but making photo editing enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

We created Luminar Neo
Our flagship product is Luminar Neo, a photo editing software application for Windows and macOS that enables millions of photographers worldwide to edit photos with the power of AI. Luminar Neo has over 20 AI-based features to streamline the photographer’s editing workflow. It’s a user-friendly app with an intuitive interface that has won numerous awards, including the Red Dot Brands & Communication Design award and the TIPA World Awards.

We want to make a difference

- Pursuing Excellence: Great ideas mean nothing without exceptional execution. We are constantly striving to push the envelope.

We support Ukraine
Skylum is proud to be a Ukrainian company! We stand with Ukraine not only with words but with actions. Together with our partners Cityswell, we co-founded the Valid UA charity fund that helps rehabilitate victims of the war. We are members of KOLO, an IT fund that provides operational assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We created an internal Charity Project that every Skylum employee can join to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine and volunteer at animal shelters. On top of that, we regularly donate to various organizations to help speed up the Ukrainian victory.
