Pinta is a free, open-source program for drawing and image editing. It combines intuitive tools with powerful features, making it easy to create, enhance, and manipulate images. Whether you"re sketching or retouching photos, Pinta keeps things simple without sacrificing functionality. Compared to Microsoft Paint, Pinta includes more features, such as support for layers and multiple undo levels.
