KolourPaint vs MS Paint: é uma boa alternativa no Linux?

KolourPaint como alternativa Linux ao MS Paint

Atualizado em 24 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

KolourPaint is a solid replacement for MS Paint for users who need a lightweight, cross‑platform raster editor. It covers most everyday tasks—drawing, shape insertion, text, cropping, resizing, and basic color editing—making it suitable for casual users, students, and quick image touch‑ups. Power users who rely on advanced features like layer management or complex filters will find it lacking, but for the typical Paint workflow it works well.

Abrindo seus arquivos do MS Paint

KolourPaint can open and save BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and TIFF files, matching the formats MS Paint uses. It does not support the proprietary .bmp variants with embedded Windows icon data, but for standard images it works fine. Exporting to .bmp, .jpg, .png, .gif, or .tiff will preserve the image content. No special conversion steps are required.
