Looking for a simple, free image editor for photo fixes and quick drawings with layers? Pinta’s selection, retouching, and effects tools cover common edits, while live previews show adjustments as they are made.
Select and transform image areas
Pinta includes selection tools for isolating parts of an image, plus crop, rotate, and resize controls for changing its framing or dimensions. The magic wand selects areas by color, while recolor and clone tools support targeted edits and retouching.
These controls suit photo touch-ups and pixel-level changes. For example, select an area to work on a specific part of an image, or use the clone tool to copy pixels from one spot to another.
Build artwork with drawing tools and layers
Use Pinta to paint, sketch, and create simple graphics. Layers keep parts of a composition separate, so an element can be edited without treating the whole image as one flat canvas.
Try effects and step back through edits
Pinta offers image effects and adjustments with live previews, letting you see their impact before settling on a change. Apply an effect to refine a photo or alter the look of artwork, then continue adjusting the image.
The undo history lets you retrace editing actions when an experiment does not work out.
