These are the security vendors’ own labels, shown exactly as VirusTotal reports them. We do not edit or interpret them. A detection does not by itself mean a file is malicious. Read the full report and see our Security and Trust Center.
We host no installers. Every download link goes to its original source. For this software we downloaded the files from that source ourselves, re-computed each checksum and checked the code signature where our tools could, as shown above. A passing check shows a file is the one that was published; it is not a guarantee it is free of problems. For more information, visit our Security and Trust Center.

Release notes
The Big Ones The following is a summary of the main features added to darktable 5.6.2. Please see the user manual for more details of the individual changes (where available). - N/A UI/UX Improvements - N/A Performance Improvements - N/A Other Changes - N/A Documentation updates - Versioning of the docs has resumed! With release of each new major version of darktable we take a snapshot of the current state of the development-docs. - The stable documentation for 5.6.2 can be found here and now contains a version switcher at the top to switch between 5.6 and development version of the manual. - If you find room for improvement on the manual, you are welcome to open an issue, post to pixls.us, or submit a PR yourself. - Translations of the docs are maintained through weblate. Bug Fixes - Fixed highlights modes for 4BAYER (CYGM/RGBE) raws, only clipping mode is available for those. - Fixed darktable stealing the focus from other applications on Windows, pushing itself in front of whatever you were using and taking the keyboard. This could happen when hovering over lighttable thumbnails, during import and export, and when log messages appeared or expired. While darktable was minimized it took the keyboard without becoming visible. - Fixed Alt+Tab failing to switch away from darktable on Windows when the mouse pointer was over a lighttable thumbnail. - Fixed the console windows that repeatedly appeared on Windows when darktable or a Lua script ran an external command. darktable…

The Big Ones The following is a summary of the main features added to darktable 5.6.1. Please see the user manual for more details of the individual changes (where available). - N/A UI/UX Improvements - N/A Performance Improvements - Reverted increased preview pipe dimension for UI performance. Other Changes - AI model downloads now resume after an interruption and retry on transient network errors instead of starting over. - AI raw denoise now refuses legacy Fujifilm Super CCD sensors, whose sensor layout the models were not trained for. - Color labels, ratings and manually applied geotags are now copied to images created by AI denoise and upscale, in addition to EXIF data and tags. Documentation updates - The manual has seen a lot of attention this cycle: the documentation is up to date again, and translations are flowing once more via Weblate. - We've also expanded the docs on how dtdocs itself is set up and maintained, making it easier for new contributors to get involved. If you find room for improvement, you are welcome to open an issue, post to pixls.us, or submit a PR yourself. Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug that left OpenCL AMD devices disabled on Windows systems. - Fixed a bug in demosaic module resulting from bad green equilibration data. - Fixed a bug preventing the tether mode to connect when using a non English UI. - Fixed an out-of-bounds read in wavelet decomposition that could occasionally crash darktable when generating previews. - Fixed an out-of-bounds write in…

That is, when changing the metadata we need to recompute the thumbnail information. - Fixed a possibly standstill while discarding history on fast systems. - Fixed a…

Bug Fixes - Fixed translation of snapshot module's labels. - Expanded width of preference boxes Lua Options so that long input is visible. - Fixed compilation when OpenMP is disabled. - Fixed an OpenCL bug in rastermask module for non-raw images. - Fixed regression introduced in darktable 5.0 with inability to read raw files from ancient (over two decades old) Canon cameras that recorded raw files with .tiff extension. - Fixed the inability of external raster masks module to work in Windows with PFM files that have Unicode characters in the file name. - Fixed a bug in liquify OpenCL code leading to incorrect clamped output. - Fix color equalizer picker not working in quick access panel. - Paletted TIFFs were read incorrectly by the main libtiff-based loader, with loss of color information.

The Big Ones The following is a summary of the main features added to darktable 5.2. Please see the user manual for more details of the individual changes (where available). - View snapshots side-by-side with the current image, instead of as a partial overlay, by clicking the button next to "take snapshot". The center viewport is divided in two equal panels and can be zoomed and panned (by dragging while holding the "a" key) as before. The dividing line can not be moved and any click without "a" rotates the layout. - The metadata module is now fully configurable and allows to add and maintain any tags which are supported by exiv2. - Added a new module "raster mask import". After setting up a root folder containing PFM files, a file can be selected to be used as a raster mask, it is scaled to full image size. You can also define what combination of the RGB channels of that PFM file will be used for the raster mask. - Sigmoid module is now the default tone-mapper selected for new installation. - The export module has got a new section multi-preset export which allows to export the selected images with multiple presets in one single export run. UI/UX Improvements - Replaced the zoom range widget, which controls the number of thumbnails displayed on the thumbnail table, with a spin button. This makes it easier to set the exact value. - In the 4 ways tab in Color Balance RGB, ctrl+click now picks the actual color while regular click continues to pick the opposite color. This…

Is darktable safe to download from here?
We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files.
On 2026-11-04 we downloaded the latest installer from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256: it matches the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 0 valid, 1 not signed.
VirusTotal: one engine out of 64 flagged darktable-5.6.2-win64.exe. A single flag among that many engines is usually a false alarm. We still list it under Detections.
Our rating: Safe. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: darktable’s official website.
Does darktable update itself after I install an old version?
We cannot say for certain. We do not have data on whether darktable updates itself, and many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in darktable (see darktable’s documentation) before you rely on an older version.
Does darktable cost anything?
No. darktable is free and open source (license: GPL-3.0).
Which versions of darktable are listed here, and how far back?
We list 36 versions, from 2.4.0 (2017-12-24) up to 5.6.2. This page shows the newest 20; the JSON and Markdown files for this app list all 36.
Where do the download links go?
They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: darktable’s official website.
