Main features of the program:
Simple, intuitive and innovative user interface
Every function of the user interface elements is designed to be self-explanatory.
Tabbed interface
To easily process multiple images, Paint.NET uses a tabbed interface. Instead of text information, they display interactive thumbnails of images. This makes navigation simple and fast.
Working with layers
Usually, only expensive or very complex professional programs allow you to work with image layers. Paint.NET offers this for free and in a form that does not complicate their perception.
Frequent
updates Updates are usually released monthly and contain new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. The process of updating to the latest version is very simple – just two clicks.
Special effects
Paint.NET contains a sufficient number of effects to improve your images. Red-eye removal, blur, stylization, sharpening, glow, various types of distortion, noise reduction – just some of the available special effects. In addition, Paint.NET has a unique 3D effect that allows you to add perspective to your images.
Of course, the usual tools for graphic editors are not forgotten: brightness, contrast, curves, hue, saturation, inversion. You can also turn a color image into black and white or add sepia. Also, the basic functionality of Paint.NET is easily expanded by additional plug-ins (new features or special effects), of which several thousand have been written to date.
Powerful tools
Paint.NET contains simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-use tool for drawing splines or Bezier curves. The selection tools are still simple for fairly quick work with them. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color and Clone for copying or deleting part of an image. There is also a simple text editor, scaling tools, and a color replacement tool.
Unlimited history
Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone may want to change their choice. Therefore, every action performed in the Paint.NET graphics editor is recorded and can be undone in the history window. And after undoing certain actions, you can return to them again. The length of the change history is limited only by the amount of free space on your computer’s hard drive.
Free
Paint.NET is a completely free program.
You can freely install it and use it for an unlimited amount of time.
At the same time, Paint.NET does not contain any spyware or advertising add-ons.
