Far2l is a free, open-source raster graphics editor for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux. Originally released in 2010, Far2l aims to provide a lightweight yet powerful alternative to commercial bitmap image editing software.

Some key features of Far2l include:

• Filters and color adjustment features
• Support for common image formats like JPEG, PNG, TIFF

Far2l is designed to balance simplicity and advanced functionality.

The open-source nature of Far2l fosters an active community behind the software's development and support. It can be enhanced with plugins and scripts, allowing customization for specific workflows. Far2l is available completely free of charge, making it a popular choice for artists and photographers looking for full-featured image editing without the expense.
