Paint.NET
Free image and photo editing software for Windows PCs
Paint.NET is image and photo editing software for Windows PCs, developed by Rick Brewster and maintained by dotPDN LLC. It provides a tabbed document interface with live thumbnails for working on multiple images, along with layers, an unlimited undo history recorded in a History window, and color management that honors embedded profiles and wide-gamut displays.
Features include drawing and selection tools such as shapes, curves, gradients, Magic Wand, Clone Stamp, and text editing; special effects covering blur, sharpen, red-eye, distortion, noise, emboss, and 3D Rotate/Zoom; and adjustments for brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. It supports pen and drawing tablet pressure sensitivity, a broad range of file formats including PNG, JPEG, AVIF, WebP, TIFF, and the native layered PDN format, with additional file types available through plugins. Updates are free, and the Microsoft Store release updates in the background.
It is aimed at users seeking a capable image editor on Windows, from those replacing basic built-in tools to more advanced editing work. It is available as a free download, with a Microsoft Store release also offered and donations accepted to support development.
