About Paint.NET
Paint.NET is free
image editing and photo manipulation software for
computers that run Windows. It
features an intuitive and innovative user
interface with support for layers, unlimited undo,
special effects, and a wide variety of useful and
powerful tools. An active and growing
online community provides friendly help,
tutorials,, and
plugins.
It started
development as an undergraduate college senior
design project mentored by Microsoft, and is
currently being maintained by some of the alumni
that originally worked on it. Originally intended as
a free replacement for the MS Paint software that
comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet
simple tool for photo and image editing.
The programming
language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a
small amount of C++ for installation and
shell-integration related functionality. The
source code is available under the terms of the
MIT License.
