Pinta als Linux-Alternative zu MS Paint

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Pinta is a solid replacement for MS Paint if you want a bit more power without the complexity of GIMP. It handles all basic drawing, text, and resizing tasks easily. The interface is clean and familiar to anyone who has used Paint.NET. However, it lacks a dedicated two-color mode, which might be a dealbreaker for pixel art enthusiasts. For general users needing simple edits, Pinta works well. It is free, open-source, and actively maintained, making it a reliable choice for daily image tasks on Linux.

GIF support is generally available in most raster editors, but specific animation handling may vary. If you rely heavily on animated GIFs, test your specific use case.

Häufige Fragen

Can I use Pinta for pixel art?

Yes, but it lacks a dedicated two-color mode. You can use the brush tool with a single color, but it is less convenient than MS Paint's specific feature.

Is Pinta harder to learn than MS Paint?

Slightly, due to the layer system. However, if you ignore layers, the basic tools are very similar and intuitive.

Does Pinta support animated GIFs?

It supports GIF files, but complex animation editing is not its primary focus. For heavy animation work, consider other tools.
