Yo how do you make (not edit) galaxy textures? I really want to create my own galaxies with my own textures

The manual has a section explaining how to treat textures for that
https://spaceengine.org/manual/making-a ... ing-a-dso/

But it only explains how to import textures from existing galaxies with images, I’m trying to make my own textures (for example which program should I use etc)

There isn't much difference from taking an image of an existing galaxy from one of the many places you can find by using a search engine, and drawing a galaxy on your own. You'll probably have to use the same photo/graphics editor.
Which program you can use is not really important. The manual does mention Photoshop, which is a commercial program from Adobe, but there are other open-source or free programs that can be used to work with layers and filters, allowing you to follow the necessary steps to make a believable galaxy texture: GIMP and Krita are a couple of program coming to mind.
How to use such programs? depending on what tools you use, a mouse or a graphic tablet, they have different ways and tools to draw/retouch images, and they need to be used for a bit to become proficient with them. I would suggest to watch video tutorials for those programs on Youtube to get a first impression about what can be done with them.

Wait are there any programs for iPad that can do so? I know I’m asking way too much but eh I need help

You've got a PC, you can use GIMP or Krita as suggested by Mosfet.
