The suite hasn’t received any updates in the past three years, and today’s announcement has made it clear that none will follow.Today we’re making the Nik Collection available to everyone, for free. With its focus on advanced desktop users, Nik Collection was clearly outside of Google’s wheelhouse. Google said it would continue to focus on developing its mobile photo apps, Google Photos and Snapseed. If you bought Nik Collection since January 1, 2016, you will automatically receive a refund over the following days. Note that, these are plugins, not standalone tools, so you will need the programs listed above in order to use them.

The suite sold for $500 before Google acquired it, and it later went down to $150. While Snapseed is a simple, but powerful tool for regular users to modify images on mobile, Nik Collection is geared towards professionals and enthusiasts. Google acquired Nik Collection with the 2012 purchase of Nik Software, the German company that is better known for the Snapseed apps for Android and iOS. Previously, Google sold the plugins for a steep $149.
