Drawpile als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Paint

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Drawpile is not a direct replacement for Microsoft Paint for users needing a simple, single-user image editor for quick edits like cropping or resizing screenshots. It excels as a drawing tool with advanced features like layers, animation, and pressure sensitivity, making it suitable for artists or educators. However, its focus on real-time collaboration and lack of basic tools like a rectangle select or text tool means it won’t suit users doing straightforward tasks. If you need more than just doodling, Drawpile is powerful, but overkill for Paint-style simplicity.

Ihre Microsoft Paint-Dateien öffnen

Drawpile can open and export PNG and JPEG files, which are commonly used in Microsoft Paint, so basic image exchange is possible. However, it does not support Paint's default format (.BMP) reliably, and complex BMP files may not render correctly. Drawpile cannot interpret layered or animated data from Paint files since Paint doesn’t support those features. For practical purposes, saving as PNG from Paint ensures compatibility.
