KolourPaint

Stable release
  
16.12.1 (12 January 2017; 2 months ago (2017-01-12)) [±]

KolourPaint is a free, raster graphics editor by KDE. It is similar to Microsoft's Paint application before the version shipped with Windows 7, but has some additional features such as support for transparency, color balance and image rotation.

It aims to be conceptually simple to understand, providing a level of functionality targeted towards the average user. KolourPaint is designed for casual work such as:

  • Painting: drawing diagrams and "finger painting"
  • Image Manipulation: editing screenshots and photos; applying effects
  • Icon Editing: drawing clipart and logos with transparency

    • In version K Desktop Environment 3.3, KolourPaint replaced KPaint as the standard simple painting application.

    KolourPaint has a port to Microsoft Windows as part of the KDE on Windows initiative.
