Description:

<h3>Paint.NET: Free Image and Photo Editor for Windows</h3><p>Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers running Windows. Its interface is intuitive and includes support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a range of tools. Development began as an undergraduate senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and the software is now maintained by Rick Brewster. It was originally intended as a free replacement for Microsoft Paint and has since grown into a more capable editor. It has been compared with Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.</p><h3>Features and functionality</h3><ul><li><em>Layers and undo:</em> The editor supports layers and unlimited undo. Undo and redo history is stored in temporary files on the hard drive.</li><li><em>Effects and tools:</em> Built-in special effects and a wide variety of editing tools support general photo and image work.</li><li><em>Plugins:</em> The official forum hosts plugins that add new effects and support for additional file types. The project's GitHub organization publishes sample plugins for the Direct2D/GPU effects system introduced in version 5.0, along with plugin development documentation.</li><li><em>Documentation:</em> A help file is available online.</li></ul><h3>System requirements</h3><p>Paint.NET runs on Windows 11, Windows 10 version 21H2 or newer, and Windows Server 2022. It requires a 64-bit CPU with at least four cores, either Intel or AMD x64 with AVX2 or ARM64, and a GPU that supports Direct3D 11. A display with High Dynamic Range or Wide Color Gamut support and a pen or drawing tablet that supports Windows Ink are optional. The Microsoft .NET 9 runtime is included with the app and does not need separate installation. Disk space needs depend on the actions performed on an image and on the size of the image.</p><h3>Versions and availability</h3><p>The current version is 5.1.12, released March 8, 2026. A free download is available from the official website. A paid edition is sold through the Microsoft Store for 14.99 USD. The Store edition offers automatic updates and installation across Windows devices, and purchasing it supports development directly. Donations are also accepted on the official site. The software is available in numerous languages, including English, German, French, Japanese, and Chinese (Simplified).</p><p>Paint.NET won the Microsoft Store App Awards in the Creativity - Graphics and 3D category in 2022. Its Microsoft Store listing shows an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 2,753 ratings.</p>
