paint-mono als Linux-Alternative zu Paint.NET
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Paint-mono is a functional but limited replacement for Paint.NET. It covers the basics: layers, simple drawing, and common format support. However, it lacks the depth of adjustments, effects, and plugin ecosystem that make Paint.NET useful for serious editing. If you only need quick sketches, basic layer compositing, or simple image tweaks, it works. If you rely on advanced filters, complex selections, or plugins, you will hit a wall quickly. It is best suited for casual users or educational contexts who want a lightweight, free tool without the complexity of GIMP.

Ihre Paint.NET-Dateien öffnen
Paint-mono can open and export standard raster formats like PNG, JPEG, BMP, and GIF. It does not natively support Paint.NET’s proprietary .pdn format, so you must save your work as a layered format like PNG or PSD (if supported) before transferring. If you have existing .pdn files, you will need to open them in Paint.NET on Windows and export them to a compatible format first. There is no direct import path for .pdn files in paint-mono.
