Softonic review

Dinkar KamatUpdated 2 months ago


THE DIGITAL CANVAS OF THE 2000S

If there is a program that evokes nostalgia, that is undoubtedly MS Paint. Also
known as Microsoft Paint, it is a graphics creation and editing program that is
included by default in all versions of Windows since 1985. Yes, we know it is
not the most advanced software in its category, but that does not take away from
it being one of the most used, even today. What makes it so popular?


THE MOST POPULAR DIGITAL EDITING PROGRAM

MS Paint is, by far, one of the most accessible drawing and image editing tools
available. Thanks to its default inclusion in Windows, we don't have to rack our
brains to find and use it.



The program runs on a fairly simple user interface that allows drawing,
coloring, editing, and manipulating images. From pixel art creation to quick
editing of screenshots, MS Paint offers a wide range of creative possibilities.
Although it may lack the advanced capabilities of other free programs (Canvas,
for example), the charm of MS Paint lies in its simplicity.


SIMPLE, BUT EFFECTIVE

Contrary to popular belief, MS Paint is an excellent tool for those looking for
a quick and simple way to perform basic image editing tasks. It is ideal for
resizing images, adding text, or simply including basic graphics. Furthermore,
its familiarity and ease of use make MS Paint very popular among users with no
experience in graphic design or image editing.

MS Paint is compatible with a wide variety of formats, such as Windows Bitmap
(BMP), JPEG, PNG, GIF, and single-page TIFF files. We can also use a scanner to
digitize our images and edit them in MS Paint, or even external cameras.

Recently, MS Paint received a facelift from Microsoft with the intention of
making it more modern. It is now included in Windows 11 and is adapted to work
on touch screens. You can even use an external stylus that is compatible.


A CLASSIC THAT NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE

Overall, Microsoft's program continues to withstand the test of time, despite
the innovations we see today in the world of photo editing and digital painting.
By providing an easy way to create and edit files, MS Paint has been key for
numerous users to express their creativity, even with the limitations that the
program has. 


PROS

 * Simple <b>and</b> easy to use.
 * The basic editing functions are applied perfectly.


CONS

 * It barely has options.
 * Very limited

   This is what I used to be able to do, but with this new program I can't copy
   and paste. I am using print screen and then paste but it never puts anything
   in the paste screen. More

   I hate the new MS paint progrram. I used it a lot to copy an image and then
   modify for my travel business and it was so easy to print screen and paste
   into the old paint. Now this is not an option and I can not find how to paste
   a picture into paint. This really sucks. I returned my new computer and went
   back to my old one just so I can use the old paint for Windows 8 and 10. More

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any
potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is
uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This
comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as
follows:


Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more
than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been
detected.


Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled
software.

WHY IS THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM STILL AVAILABLE?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false
positives.

WHAT IS A FALSE POSITIVE?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly
broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.


Blocked

It’s highly probable this software program is malicious or contains unwanted
bundled software.

WHY IS THIS SOFTWARE PROGRAM NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN OUR CATALOG?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are likely to be
real positives.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially
malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of
programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every
