At Capture One, we’re passionate about shaping the future of photography. That’s why we’re so excited our software runs seamlessly on the latest powerful Macs.

In 2020, Apple began the transition to Apple silicon in Mac – signaling a seismic shift in the industry. To match the power of this new generation of computer processing and deliver the highest possible performance to our customers, we needed to go further than we had ever gone before. That’s why we decided to completely rethink our software, and develop native support for the M1 chip.We set out to rearchitect Capture One from the ground up:

With native support for M1 Macs included in the upcoming Capture One 21 update to be released on May 27, 2021, this release represents a fundamental redesign of our system – one that is braced for the future.And the future looks fast.

Running Capture One on an M1-powered Mac will make importing photos with the new Advanced Importer up to 2x faster, while managing those assets in Catalogs and Albums is now 50% quicker. Brushing edits on with Style Brushes is smoother than ever on an M1 Mac, while you can edit with key tools like Crop and Rotate at twice the speed. With the fastest performance yet for Capture One, there’s even more room for creativity.


And it’s only the beginning of our journey to continue supporting Mac.

“After Apple’s announcement it was transitioning the Mac to Apple silicon, we felt that was the best time to completely rearchitect Capture One for the future.”–RAFAEL ORTA, CAPTURE ONE CEO“With our typical dedication to the craft, we brought together our deep understanding of photography post-processing, our powerful software and the Mac’s beautiful hardware, to deliver speed improvementsfor users of Capture One 21. And this is just the beginning. We’re incredibly excited for how we can continue to optimize Capture Onefor even greater performance, which will allow us to better serve image creators.”

While it’s no easy feat to rebuild the entire foundation of our software, this tailored approach to new innovation is true to the Capture One legacy and reaffirms our commitment to improve the workflows of photographers of all levels and disciplines worldwide.

With native support for M1 Macs coming May 27, 2021, Capture One users can now unlock the incredible performance benefits made possible by the M1 chip. The new Macs feature incredible displays, faster memory, and better graphics that will make Capture One operate even better to truly showcase the best images from the world’s most demanding creatives. Importing, generating previews, editing and processing will be up to 100% faster allowing photographers to spend more time doing what they love: taking photographs.
