    The Mac version is in beta.
  • Google Chrome
    Your pictures are made in your own Chrome, signed in to your own Google account.

On Windows: a blue warning?

New programs from small publishers get a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen. It goes away as more people install it. Click More info, then Run anyway.

On a Mac: opening it the first time

  1. Open the downloaded file and drag Sweezylab into Applications.
  2. Open Applications, right-click (or Control-click) Sweezylab and choose Open, then click Open again.
  3. If your Mac still says it can't verify the developer, open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.
  4. The Mac version is in beta and does not update itself yet. We will tell you when there is a new file to download.
