Hello, how can I straighten vertical and horizontal lines in Pixelmator Pro? Thanks!

I think the easiest way would be to use vertical and horizontal guides as, well, guides. If you show the rulers (View > Show Rulers), you can drag guides right out of the rulers and the ends of the lines will then snap to the guides. You can learn more about this here:

Specifically, check out the "Add persistent alignment guides" section.

Hi Andrius,

thank you for your response. But I meant horizontal and vertical lines of photo like you can do in Lightroom and Apple Photos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMlRFZKSnbs&t). Is it possible?

Ah, you're looking for perspective correction, in that case, here's the relevant section of the help guide:

You should find what you need in the "Transform layer perspective" section.

You could also apply a perspective transform effect, which is a little more nondestructive:
