### 2.21. Quit

The Quit command causes GIMP to close all images and exit. If there are any open images which contain unsaved changes (that is, they are not marked as “clean”), GIMP notifies you and displays a list of the unsaved images. You can then choose which images you would like to save, or you can cancel the command. Note that if you have a large number of images open, or are using a large part of the RAM on your system, it may take a little while for everything to shut down.

#### 2.21.1. Activating the Command

- You can access this command from the main menu through File → Quit,

- or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Q.

- For most systems on which GIMP runs, you can also execute it by clicking the “Close” button on the main window titlebar in single-window mode. In multi-window mode, this closes the image, unless no image is open.

  The location and appearance of this button vary from system to system. Activating this button will close GIMP. If there are open images with unsaved changes you will be asked whether you want to quit, possibly losing changes, or go back to working in GIMP so you can save the images.
