About this application

KolourPaint is a paint program for Linux from KDE. It provides a simple bitmap drawing environment for creating images, editing screenshots, and making small visual changes without opening a full graphics production suite. The application is suited to tasks such as drawing shapes, adding text, selecting areas, filling regions with color, and making quick annotations.

Its design centers on direct image editing with familiar tools rather than layered composition or professional photo processing. Users can work with basic drawing instruments, color controls, selection tools, and common editing actions in a compact interface. KolourPaint is a practical choice when the requirement is a straightforward desktop paint application on Linux, with licensing listed as BSD-2-Clause, LGPL-2.0+, and GFDL-1.2.
