KolourPaint als Linux-Alternative zu Paint

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

KolourPaint is a solid replacement for Windows Paint for users who need a simple, no-frills raster graphics editor. It handles basic drawing, text, shapes, and image tweaks just as Paint does, with a clean interface and reliable performance. While it lacks some modern conveniences like transparency support or advanced selection tools, it covers the core use cases well. It's ideal for casual users doing quick edits or simple illustrations, especially within KDE environments. The extra effects like monochrome and rotation add slight value over Paint.
