Paintbrush

Paintbrush is a lightweight, user-friendly app for Mac OS X. It takes a lot of inspiration from the classic Microsoft Paint program and serves as a cool replacement for Apple’s old MacPaint that isn’t around anymore.

User-Friendly Interface

This app has a really straightforward interface. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to quickly draw, sketch, or paint on a blank canvas or even on top of an existing picture. You’ll find it super easy to use!

Supported File Formats

You can open and save your creations in popular formats like BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, or PNG right from the main window. That means you’re not limited in how you share your artwork!

Transparency Features

One neat thing about Paintbrush is its ability to handle file formats that support transparency. So yes, you can add see-through elements and work with clear items in your images.

Copy and Paste Made Easy

You can also copy and paste images from most Mac applications. This includes other image editors or text processors, making it super handy to grab elements from different places.

Tools Panel Access

The Tools panel gives you quick access to all your painting tools. You can easily adjust the size and color of whatever brush or tool you’re using. Need to change brush size? Or maybe erase something? No problem at all!

Customizable Shapes and Text

The Rectangle, Ellipse, and Rounded Rectangle tools let you customize thicknesses as well as stroke and fill colors. Plus, with the Text tool, changing font styles, colors, and sizes is just a few clicks away!

Zooming In & Out

You’ll also find an Eyedropper tool along with a Zoom utility. These let you zoom in or out so you can focus on those little details in your artwork! And don’t forget about the Preferences window where you can set default file formats for saving your work.
