Photoshop is better, or should I say https://www.photopea.com/

Is Kolourpaint available as a website I can visit right now? Lots of editors are "better" from a feature standpoint. That's not the feature that is relevant to the discussion.



I'm sorry if I should have been more nuanced. Lack of transparency support was my number 1 pet peeve back with mspaint.

Kolourpaint's scope and interface are similar. It can be found in most distributions'packages, and on flathub. Looks like nobody bothered to package it for windows, though, which is a shame.

Not to the thread overall, but it is relevant to this thread in particular. GP didn't mention any specifics regarding whether or not the editor is available online; they merely spoke about Paint's simplicity relative to everything else.


Wow, Photopea runs extremely smoothly. On my old laptop it runs better than native image editors.
