The basic concept of PhotoScape is ‘easy and fun’, allowing users to easily edit photographs taken from their digital cameras or even mobile phones. PhotoScape provides a simple user interface to perform common photo enhancements including color adjustment, cutting, resizing, printing and GIF animation.[1][2] Photoscape operates on Microsoft Windows and Mac and is available on Linux systems as a Snap package.[3] The default languages are English and Korean, with additional language packages available for download.[citation needed]
