This is a maintenance release that adds a Bulgarian translation and fixes some important bugs.

Get the Update

There are two releases of Paint.NET:

• Microsoft Store release (recommended)

  • You can purchase it here. This helps fund development and is an alternative or supplement to sending in a donation. In addition, updates happen automatically in the background when you’re not using the app.
  • If you already have it installed, the update should happen automatically once Microsoft certifies the update, usually within the next day or so. To get the update immediately (once it’s certified), you can follow the instructions listed here.
• Classic Desktop release
  • Download the installer from the website. This is the recommended download if you don’t have Paint.NET installed. It can also be used to update the app.
  • If you already have it installed, you should be offered the update automatically within the next few days, but you can also get it immediately by going to Settings -> Updates -> Check Now.
  • Offline Installers and Portable ZIPs are available over on GitHub.

Change Log

Changes since 5.1.8:

• New: Added Bulgarian (bg) translation
• Fixed: The Levels and Auto-Level adjustments were crashing with panoramic images due to a bug in Direct2D that caused it to attempt allocating a texture that was too large
• Fixed: Using a non-solid fill pattern with a non-opaque color was resulting in the wrong colors being drawn to the layer due to a mixup between straight and premultiplied alpha
• Fixed: Non-CMYK images with an embedded CMYK color profile were being rendered with completely wrong colors
• Fixed a few small memory leaks

Release Highlights:
Give Although GeForce Game Ready Drivers and NVIDIA Studio Drivers can be installed on supported notebook GPUs, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends that you check with your notebook OEM for recommended software updates for your notebook.
