Microsoft Windows XP Paint 5.1

Microsoft Windows XP Paint is a classic, lightweight bitmap editor included with Windows XP. It provides the essentials for quick image tasks: freehand drawing with pencil and brush, basic shapes and lines, text and fill tools, an eraser, a color picker, and a zoomed pixel grid for precise edits. You can resize, rotate, flip, stretch or skew images, and apply simple color operations like invert. Paint is well-suited for cropping screenshots, annotating images, sketching diagrams, and converting between common formats such as BMP, JPEG, GIF, and PNG. Its straightforward interface opens quickly and stays out of the way, making it ideal for fast, no-frills work. While it lacks advanced features like layers and sophisticated selection or effects, its reliability and speed make it a handy utility for everyday tasks on Windows XP–era systems.
