Impasto is an open-source raster painting and image editor: layers, undo history, editable text and shapes, and grid/edge snapping while you draw.
Native builds for Linux, Windows, and macOS · MIT licensed
Impasto is an object-based painting app: shapes, text, and effects stay editable after you draw them. It builds on solid layers and tool options, a faster overall workflow, snapping to the grid, and fully remappable keyboard shortcuts.
It started as a GitHub fork of Pinta, the MIT-licensed painting app, and was also inspired by PDN, a Windows paint program.
Prebuilt Linux binaries are on the releases page. The Flatpak is at FlatPark. The AppImage is for newer distributions.

Windows downloadA native macOS build is published with every release. It is unsigned, so Gatekeeper will block it - right-click (or Control-click) the app and choose "Open" the first time.
