Microsoft prepares to death Paint after 32 years of existence

Users are about to say goodbye to Microsoft Paint after 32 years of 'cohabitation', it is expected that the painting software will be killed in a major update of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update later this year.

Since its debut on Windows 1.0 in 1985, after 32 years of existence and development, Paint will no longer be supported by Microsoft. Paint is one of the first graphical tools used by many people and is an essential part of Windows.

Latest update: Paint will be posted on Windows Store after Windows 10 Fall is released, not "dead".

Start with a 1-bit monochrome on ZSoft's PC Paintbrush, until Windows 98 Paint can save JPEG format. Although not one of the most feature-rich applications, it was limited to BMP and PCX formats until 1998, but if you wanted to draw something as simple as a mouse, Paint was always the first choice.

The latest version of Paint from Windows 7 onwards is much improved but compared to other free software like Paint.NET there are still fewer features. Paint is still used by many Windows users, even if the operating system has developed with more features. Paint still has more than 100 million users every month.

Microsoft retains Paint 3D, introduced on Windows 10 Creators Update in April, but it doesn't have much in common with Paint painting software that we have known for over 30 years.

Paint 3D is designed to work with 3-dimensional images and also allows basic 2D editing, but both its interface and functionality are not the same as the old version.
