If you are looking for the version for Windows XP or Windows 7, click here and download the old version.
The new version introduced many new elements that can enhance the possibilities of creating new rasterized art, and more tools for simple editing or enhancing any photo or image that it can load.
This standalone version of Microsoft Paint is the same as the one that is distributed to all Windows 10/Windows 11 users, and even they can gain value from this standalone version if by any chance their local copy becomes inaccessible, corrupted or (accidentally) deleted.
- Edit images and photos with a wide range of brushes and tools.
- Crop images and screenshots.

User Interface
The user interface of MS Paint features a classic Ribbon interface that was popularized by Windows 7. The main home tab features a wide array of tools for area selection (and associated actions such as crop, resize and rotate), pen, eraser, zoom, text insert, brushes, shapes, pencil size, and color picker.
The only other tab “View” manages the way the canvas is shown on screen, including support for rulers, gridlines, and full-screen rendering. Just below the large canvas is a simple status bar that features data on cursor position, canvas size, and zoom level. All in all, a very simple editor that has all the necessary tools for light drawing and editing.
While some people often criticize Microsoft MS Paint for being too simplistic, this app has still managed to find millions of fans all around the world who are not interested in more advanced tools, layered image creation, and photo editing effects.
This is intentionally made to be nostalgic and as simple as possible, but still packing a surprising number of tools that can help users of all knowledge levels to quickly visualize their ideas without much effort.
