Downloads

Here you can download an “all platforms” version of ImageJ, without a bundled Java or extra extensions.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing transition from Java 6 to Java 8, this download of “plain ImageJ2” cannot currently be updated to the latest Java-8-compatible version. See the Java 8 page for details. For the time being, we recommend using the Fiji distribution of ImageJ to stay current with updates.

Distributions of ImageJ

These downloads bundle ImageJ with a curated collection of plugins pre-installed.

System requirements

ImageJ will run on any system that has a Java 8 (or later) runtime installed. This includes, but is not limited to:

Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 with Java installed from java.com
Mac OS X 10.8 “Mountain Lion” or later with Java installed from java.com
Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS or later with OpenJDK 8 installed

Installation

Caution: "Program Files" not recommended!

If you are installing ImageJ on Windows, we strongly recommend that you store your ImageJ.app directory somewhere in your user space (e.g., C:\Users\[your name]\ImageJ.app) rather than in C:\Program Files` or other system-wide directory. If you move ImageJ.app to such a directory, modern versions of Windows will deny ImageJ write permission to its own directory structure, preventing it from being able to update. See also imagej/imagej#72.

ImageJ is distributed as a portable application. That means that you do not have to run an installer; just download, unpack and start it.
