JS Paint

A nice web-based MS Paint remake and more... Try it out!

The goal is to remake MS Paint (including its ), improve on it, and to the types of images it can edit. So far, it does this pretty well.

Ah yes, good old paint. Not the one with the ribbons or the new skeuomorphic one with the interface that can take up nearly half the screen. And sorry, not the even newer Paint 3D.

Windows 95, 98, and XP were the golden years of paint. You had a tool box and a color box, a foreground color and a background color, and that was all you needed.

Possible improvements include: A lot of stuff isn't done yet:

Clipboard support is somewhat limited. You can copy with Ctrl+C, cut with Ctrl+X, and paste with Ctrl+V, but data copied from JS Paint can only be pasted into other instances of JS Paint. There's apparently no way for web apps to properly copy image data to the clipboard. "Support programmatical copying of images to clipboard" is currently the top starred issue of chromium. To use the clipboard menu items, you need to install the Chrome app.
