Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.
It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.

Latest beta version works well for small stuff so use that instead

To save people time, this is NOT suitable for editing small graphics like Icons. You can't e.g. select a region of e.g. 10x2 pixels to copy and paste - no matter what you do it won't let you move it once it's pasted as it assumes you are trying to resize it instead.

An overestimated alternative to Photoshop. It has the necessary features to qualify as a professional image editor, but we already have the grandfather of open source programs, GIMP, so why bother.
