Gpaint como alternativa Linux a Windows Paint
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Gpaint is a solid replacement for Windows Paint for users who need basic drawing tools on Linux. It handles simple tasks like sketching, coloring, and minor image edits without bloat. The interface is straightforward, and it starts quickly, even on older hardware. If you're used to Paint's minimal feature set, Gpaint feels familiar and gets the job done. It won't replace advanced editors, but for casual use—like annotating screenshots or drawing quick diagrams—it's more than sufficient.

Lo que cambia

Abrir tus archivos de Windows Paint
Gpaint can open and save PNG, BMP, JPEG, and GIF files, which covers the formats most commonly used in Windows Paint. Files created in Windows Paint (especially .bmp and .png) open without issues in Gpaint. There are no known compatibility problems with standard 24-bit or 32-bit raster files. However, complex formatting like layered images isn't supported by either program, so interoperability remains high for basic use cases.
