The 2nd most popular image editor on Windows

Share
Microsoft Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple graphics painting program that has been included with almost all versions of Microsoft Windows since its first release. It is often referred to as Paint or MS Paint. The program opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome, all with the .bmp extension), JPEG, GIF (without animation), PNG (without alpha channel), and TIFF. The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode.

    Always included in a release of Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Paint is among the first and favorite paint programs of many world wide. From some obssesive Painters, to those wishing for a gateway program into the larger and more complex ones (Namely Photoshop) Paint is very easy to use, however trades quite a bit of that for power. All Pre-Windows 7 Versions remain more or less the same back to Windows 95 and provide minimal imaging, or editing tools. The Windows 7 Version includes the "Fluent User Interface" Known more colloquially as the Ribbon.

    It's Paint's first revamp in over a decade and adds alot more functionality to the program at the expense of it's in-built simplicity. However don't let this discourage you, it's still amongst the easiest image editing programs to use for Windows.

    ...It's known as the basic picture editor for people who aren't that great with graphics, but I use it whenever I quickly need to edit something and can't be bothered pulling out Photoshop.

    It's so simple to use, and very handy for screenshots, quick edits or just copy and pasting between applications. Directly from Photoshop to word can be quite a pain in the Xss but paint does the trick. :) Love it!
