Serif PhotoPlus is an image editing program for Microsoft Windows. The latest version is Serif PhotoPlus X8.[1][2] Serif currently refers to this package as part of their Legacy range (following its replacement by their Affinity Photo product),[3] meaning that no future updates will be released.

Users who need to recover legacy image data in file formats such as the proprietary .SPP Serif PhotoPlus Picture file format; Serif PhotoPlus Starter Edition for Windows downloads can still be found on websites such as Softonic, CNET Download and other sites.

However, following installation, it is required to register the app with an install key or register either by telephone or online - unfortunately neither registration service is functional. Fortunately, Serif Europe was kind enough to release a Universal Registration Key (881887) in a blog post dated June 27, 2022.[4] After installing and using the above Universal Registration Key, proprietary image formats, such as .SPP, can then be exported to popular image formats such as .jpg, .gif, .png, etc..
