GIMP, alternative Linux à Paint
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
GIMP is a capable replacement for Paint, but overkill for users who only need basic drawing or quick cropping. If you're comfortable with slightly more complexity and want features like layers, undo history, or better brush control, GIMP is excellent. It’s ideal for users outgrowing Paint’s limits—like editing screenshots, making simple graphics, or retouching photos. However, for someone who only draws occasionally or edits minimally, the learning curve may feel unnecessary. Stick with Paint-like tools unless you need more.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Paint
GIMP can open and edit .bmp and .png files created in Paint without issues. It also exports to these formats reliably. While Paint only handles basic raster types, GIMP supports a much wider range, including PSD, TIFF, and WebP. You can safely use GIMP to edit old Paint files, and save them in formats that remain compatible with Paint by choosing BMP or PNG. No conversion tools are needed.

- Install GIMP via your package manager or Flathub
- Open a BMP or PNG file created with Paint to test compatibility
- Use the Pencil or Brush tool for simple drawing, like in Paint
- Explore layers in the Layers panel to separate elements
- Export to PNG or BMP to keep files usable in other basic editors
- Try G'MIC or Script-Fu for advanced effects when ready

Can I use GIMP like Paint for quick drawings?
Yes, but you’ll need to disable the advanced features. Use a single layer and the Pencil tool for pixel-accurate work. It’s functional, though more complex than Paint by default.
Is GIMP harder to learn than Paint?
Yes, significantly. Paint is designed for instant use. GIMP has many tools and panels—expect a learning curve, especially with layers and selections.
Can I edit old Paint files (.bmp) with GIMP?
Yes. GIMP opens BMP files without issue and preserves content. You can edit and re-save them in BMP or other formats like PNG for wider compatibility.
