Pinta als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Paint
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Pinta is a good replacement for Microsoft Paint if you want more control and basic layer support without the complexity of GIMP. It handles everyday tasks like cropping, resizing, drawing shapes, and freehand sketching better than Paint. The interface is intuitive, and it supports common file formats directly. Users who only need simple edits won’t be overwhelmed, and those who occasionally need layers or effects will appreciate the extra power. It’s ideal for casual users, students, or anyone transitioning from Paint who wants a bit more.

Ihre Microsoft Paint-Dateien öffnen
Pinta opens and saves all standard file types used by Microsoft Paint, including BMP, PNG, JPEG, and TIFF. Files created in Paint can be opened directly in Pinta without conversion. When saving, you can choose the format explicitly, so compatibility is not an issue. If you share files with someone using Paint, stick to BMP or PNG for maximum compatibility. No known issues with rendering or color fidelity in these formats.
