Paint X brings back the simple pleasure of a classic paint program, the kind you open and understand in ten seconds. A canvas, a small set of familiar tools, no learning curve. It suits quick jobs: a sketch, coloring with the kids, marking up a screenshot, captioning a photo.

Key Features

  • Draw with pencil and brush tools in sizes, colors and opacity you control
  • Add lines, rectangles, ovals and shapes for quick diagrams and layouts
  • Fill areas with color in one click and erase slips cleanly
  • Place text on images for labels, captions and simple signs
  • Open and save PNG, JPEG, TIFF and GIF pictures

How to Download

  1. Use the download button on this page and save the file to your Mac
  2. Move Paint X into your Applications folder and launch it
  3. Start a new canvas or open a picture, then save your finished work

System Requirements

Paint X is small and light. Any Mac running a current version of macOS, with room to open and save ordinary image files, will handle it comfortably.

FAQs

Is Paint X good for proper photo editing?

For light work, yes: an arrow on a screenshot, a caption, a small painted fix. For heavy retouching and grading, pick a full photo editor.

Can children use Paint X?

Yes, and many do. The small toolbar and familiar tools make it a good first drawing app on a family Mac.

Which format should I save in?

PNG keeps text and line art sharp for screenshots and diagrams. JPEG makes smaller files for photos you plan to share.
