Simple, Powerful, and Open Source: Meet Pinta
When it comes to image editing, sometimes less really is more. Pinta is a GTK-based paint program inspired by Paint.NET, bringing a clean and approachable user experience to Linux, macOS, Windows, and *BSD users alike. It’s not just another paint app, Pinta blends simplicity with the essential power you need for drawing, photo editing, and creative expression.
Lightweight Without Limits
Pinta was designed with one thing in mind: keeping your creative process as smooth as possible. From the first brushstroke to the final touch-up, everything about the interface encourages focus and flow. There's no clutter, no distractions, just the tools you need, right where you expect them.
Its familiar layout means most users can jump in without learning curves. Whether you're selecting, cropping, resizing, or diving into features like recoloring and cloning, Pinta behaves exactly how you’d hope, reliably and intuitively.
Real Tools, Real Results
What makes Pinta stand out is its thoughtful set of features, each designed to deliver real creative power without overwhelming complexity. You’ll find a wide array of effects and image adjustments, all backed by responsive live previews that show changes as you make them.
Every tool is built to keep your workflow moving. From subtle tweaks to dramatic transformations, your edits happen in real time, making experimentation feel less like work and more like play.
Edit Freely with Unlimited Undo
Creativity thrives on the freedom to explore. Pinta understands that not every step forward is the right one, and that’s okay. With unlimited undo history, you're free to backtrack, revise, and try again without starting from scratch.
Whether you're polishing a photo or trying something bold with a digital painting, you’re always one step away from a fresh take.
Why Pinta?
Pinta is more than a paint program, it’s a toolkit for expression. Use it to touch up photos, create pixel art, design graphics, or sketch out ideas. Whatever your style or skill level, Pinta stays out of your way and lets you create.
It’s fast. It’s cross-platform. It’s open source. And above all, it’s easy to love.
Pinta is free software, released under the MIT License. Some of its functionality comes from Paint.NET 3.36, used under the same license with original source headers retained.
