An interface that adapts
Pick a classic ribbon or a compact toolbar. Dock the layers and history panes where you want them, work across tabbed documents, and switch between light and dark themes.
Full-featured. Feather-light.
Paintium is a free, modern, lightweight paint and image editor that starts instantly and gets out of your way. Advanced features like layers and blend modes, over 40 effects and adjustments, and infinite undo history sit behind a simple interface, so you can focus on your images and not your tools.

Features
Everything you reach for, nothing you don't.
Paintium sits in the gap between a bare-bones paint program and a professional suite, making powerful tools simple to use.
A complete toolbox
Pencil, paintbrush, eraser, paint bucket, gradients, recolor, color picker, rectangles, ellipses, freeform shapes, editable text, and lines.
46 effects & adjustments
Blurs, distortions, artistic filters, photo fixes, procedural renders and fractals: each with a live preview on the canvas, so you dial in settings against the real image instead of guessing.
Layers, done properly
Stack as many layers as you like, then control each one independently: opacity, visibility, 16 blend modes, flip, rotate & zoom, duplicate, merge down, or flatten the whole stack.
Undo without limits
Every action lands in a dockable history pane. Scrub back to any earlier state, then forward again, the whole session stays reversible, not just the last few strokes.
Multiple file formats
Open and save PNG, JPEG, WebP and BMP, or use OpenRaster (.ora) to keep your full layer stack intact.
