Microsoft Paint is a straightforward raster graphics editor for photos.
Paint is a basic raster graphics editor included with every version of Microsoft Windows. The application opens and saves files in Windows Bitmap (BMP), JPEG, GIF, PNG, and single-page TIFF formats. It supports both color and two-color black-and-white modes, but does not include a grayscale option. Due to its simplicity and built-in availability in Windows, it quickly became one of the most popular applications in early Windows releases, introducing many users to digital painting for the first time. It remains widely used for basic image editing tasks.
