Drawing is a basic raster image editor similar to Microsoft Paint, but aiming at the GNOME desktop.
The app works on any Linux system regardless of the desktop environment: more traditional design user interfaces are available too, as well as an elementaryOS layout. The app should also be compatible with Linux smartphones.
You can edit or create pictures (PNG, JPEG or BMP) using tools, which can be chosen in the side pane.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Full screen mode.
- Export the image or save it as a new file.
- Print the picture.
- Copy the picture to the clipboard.
- Edit images with a variety of tools such as pencil, line, curve, pressure-sensitive brushes and more.
- Formats supported: PNG, JPEG, and BMP.
- Zoom and scroll.
