Paint.net is a perfect alternative to Photoshop. It does everything I need and more. > > **Cons**: It is missing some advanced features, but I don't need or use these anyway.

It strikes the perfect balance between being easy to use and being powerful. ----- ### "The Most Intuitive Raster Graphics Editing Program" — 5.0/5 > **Vojtěch** | *1 November 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Paint.NET is like PhotoShop, but it's so much easier to use and it's significantly faster too. > > **Cons**: I wish the tools for creating image outlines were better; it can be quite difficult to achieve the desired effect. While it is possible, it’s challenging. However, there are plugins available that can help with this. > > I’ve been using Paint.NET for about eight years now, and I absolutely love it. It’s my go-to program for raster graphics editing. As the name suggests, it’s built on .NET, which makes the program really quick and efficient. ----- ### "Paint.NET is a solid Image editing tool." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 December 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Paint.Net offers a lot of utility for a low/no cost. Also, there is an incredible number of plugins. > > **Cons**: There isn't much to dislike here, though there is a heavy reliance on Plugins to match the feature set of something like Photoshop. > > Paint.Net is simple and easy to use while offering a solid set of tools. ----- ### "Basic and free tool" — 4.0/5 > **Valentina** | *17 January 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Open sources and “entry level” tool for those with little editing knowledge who need to edit an image > > **Cons**: Editing tools somewhat basic compared to paid tools (e.g. Photoshop) > > I used this tool for basic image mdifications (brightness, saturation...) ----- ### "Fast graphic edition and creation." — 5.0/5 > **Przemek** | *13 November 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have started using the tool because I was looking for alternative for expensive and complexed applications. For my purpose I didn't need sophisticated solutions but rather something I can rely on and use effectively without waste of time or resource. I is also important when I want to delegate my PaintNET tasks to someone new. I don't have to be worried for skill transfers and trainings or presentation. After short 15 minutes introduction anyone can work with this tool. > > **Cons**: The only problems I experienced working with paint NET were installation problems. However, thanks to the extensive articles provided by vendor, I was able to quickly solve the problem and replace the exe installation file with MSI. > > Editing and creating graphics for company publications gives me a lot of fun if I use the right tools. Thanks to Paint NET, I have access to editing and transferring graphics to various platforms, such as websites or Power Point presentations. The editing itself is simple thanks to the clear interface. Paint NET offers option to save graphics in many different formats which makes publications easier to adapt. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1020413/paintnet?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1020413/paintnet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
