## What is Paint.exe?

Paint like it's 1998. Paint.exe is a completely free lovingly built recreation of the classic old school paint program, redesigned for iPhone and iPad with real menus, real pixels, and real retro charm.

Every tool you remember is here — pencil, brush, airbrush, fill, eraser, shapes, lines, curves, and text — now touch-first and easy to use. Made a mistake? Undo as much as you like.

COLORS & THEMES
• The classic color palette, plus millions of colors in a nostalgic picker
• 33 retro themes, classic and modern chrome — every window and title bar repaints to match
• Full CRT mode for that authentic phosphor-glow look

YOUR GALLERY, ALWAYS SAVED
• Drawings save themselves to your on-device Library
• Rename, duplicate, sort and organize your artwork
• Nothing is uploaded — your art stays on your device

EXPORT & SHARE
• Export as PNG, JPG, BMP or PDF
• Share anywhere with the system share sheet
• Import from Files, Photos or the camera and draw right on top

PRIVATE & OFFLINE
• Works completely offline — no internet needed
• No account, no sign-up, no tracking
• Completely free

Whether you're nostalgic for 90s computing, making pixel art, doodling, or just want a simple, fun drawing app, Paint.exe brings the classic paint experience back to life.

### 5/5 — Like the good ol’ days

*2026-08-05*

It’s good. I just wish it had a quick undo/redo button somewhere on screen or maybe with gestures

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for trying our app and for taking the time to leave a review. A quick undo/redo option is a great suggestion. Currently, undo and repeat are located in the Edit menu to stay true to the original program, but we agree that quicker access through on-screen buttons or gestures could be a useful improvement. We’ll keep this in mind as we continue improving the app.
