If you recently switched from Windows, you might want to know where is the equivalent program to Microsoft Paint.

Paintbrush can open and save to most major image formats, including BMP, PNG, JPEG, and GIF. It is not intended to replace Photoshop or other high-end image editors. It is design to provide some very basic drawing needs.

New features in this version include:
  • Saves as PNG by default instead of BMP
  • Holding shift while using shape tool results in perfect square/circle/lines
  • Undo/redo works with cut and paste
  • Keyboard shortcuts for zoom in/out/actual added


Paintbrush is released under GNU license, and it is free. You can download Paintbrush from Source Forge.
