“We’re excited to bring the powerful photo editing tools once only used by professionals to even more people now,” Google said in its announcement.

“As we continue to focus our long-term investments in building incredible photo editing tools for mobile…we’ve decided to make the Nik Collection desktop suite available for free, so that now anyone can use it.”

Anyone who bought the software this year can expect to see a refund in the coming days, according to Google.

The Nik Collection includes seven desktop plug-ins: Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Viveza, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine. The collection is available online for download.
