Microsoft Paint’s existence has been on the rocks for years. First, the company left users devastated by announcing that it would be gone for good. It then most recently rescinded this decision by declaring that the basic graphics editor would be “updateable via the Microsoft Store.” Now that MSPaint is once again a part of everyone’s lives, it’s been refreshed with a new modern look.
Microsoft chose a rather unusual way to reveal the new design. According to Creative Bloq, the tech giant first peeled off the layers of paint by quietly posting a photo on free stock photo website Unsplash.
By the looks of this visual, the updated MSPaint appears to harmonize with Microsoft’s new Fluent Design System, matching Windows 11’s UI. The menu’s buttons are no longer constrained by borders, while monochromatic icons sport a circular look.
Notably, the app is optimized for touch, which is what Windows 11 is also built for. For the full transition, Microsoft also revamped the MSPaint icon back in April.
Overall, in spite of the significant makeover, Paint seems to retain the simplicity it is most remembered for. Sneak a peek below.
