About this app

Paint is a simple raster graphics editor that has been included with all versions of ms. The program opens and saves files in win bitmap (BMP), JPEG, GIF, PNG, and single-page TIFF formats. The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. For its simplicity and that it is included with win, it rapidly became one of the most used applications in the early versions of Win, introducing many to painting on a computer for the first time. It is still widely used for simple image manipulation tasks.

Ratings and reviews

The only good thing I have to say about this app is how it captures MS paints style. Otherwise this app is completely broken and unfinished, you can't make new layers, everything feels cluttered, some of the tool icons are hard to follow, (like they don't match the tool or display what the tool is) and the shapes are a pain to use tbh. The concept is good, I like having an ms paint on my phone when away from my laptop, but this app just is so bad to use.

Please continue working on this. So far, it gets three stars (mediocre). I have installed this app on two devices, and the way this app behaves is not consistent, except with the memory lapses; there are issues with app's memory. The app requires that I access my browser and give permissions for memory storage! Come again? l thought this was a freestanding app, not something dependent on a browser. The extra themes are nice, but there doesn't seem to be a color-editor. Trade-off much? More work.

A classic tool to help me make basic edits to graphics. The special select function isn't available in other apps. It allows you to drag & drop specific sections of your graphic somewhere else, which is great! I would definitely add that 5th star if I could open two images at once or copy a selection from one edit and paste in another (just like I do on desktop). Also, copying/pasting a selection errors out with access denied. Thanks for making this app!
