Oh wow this is amazing. The win2k image runs Paint, and looks like you can upload and download images.

Microsoft Paint.

paint.net - free for windows

MS paint clone.

Paint.NET is one of my favorite free tools of all time - up there with VLC and a few others in the top tier. Absolutely amazing app.

A paint program!

Thanks for telling me about this. It is modestly faster than my usual "take a screenshot and then crop in Paint.NET" workflow.

This used to be downloadable on windows as a screensaver/standalone version. Here is the gallery of images it made https://www.kurzweilcyberart.com/aaron/static.html The windows version can be found on Archive[1][2] and it works fine on Windows 10. Generated images are stored in temp dir in text format. Made a tool to view and save them in JavaScript[3].

Images generated by this are very coherent and artistic. You have to try this yourself to witness it. Obviously the windows version is not the full thing but it does create people, plants, walls with paintings on them and does this very well.

Microsoft Paint now has an integrated image generator. That’s as mainstream as you can get.

This looks like the work of Microsoft Paint to me.

Collaborative Microsoft Paint sounds extremely useful (I'm assuming it's actually a bit more than that).

You can try running VMWare Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox to run Windows and therefore Paint.NET :) I personally use Fusion and it's been great for purposes such as this.

Paint.net?

Microsoft could whip up paint.net in 1 day.

There's a component in WPF called InkCanvas, it pretty much is Paint.


Nice! This reminds me of Deluxe Paint on my IBM XT with a monochrome monitor. It's astounding how beautiful 1-bit art can be.

You can use normal Paint (mspaint.exe) since at least Vista to resize and crop pictures, too.

I use Paint.Net on my Windows machines. It's a great piece of software—and free. I bought the Microsoft Store version to support the author, although I continue to install the free download.

I also run https://github.com/viliusle/miniPaint using Cloudflare Pages so it's hosted in one of my sub-domains as minipaint.[mydomainhere] and it's great for quick jobs.


Also there's Paint.NET on PC. It's fast, not bloated with useless functions (yet), and freeware. I've switched to it from Photoshop a few months ago and never regret my decision.

Scroll down to "MS Paint on Windows 95" and there is a "Download on GitHub" link.

A lot of people do crazy stuff with Paint... just imagine what they could do with good software
