What LazPaint is

LazPaint is a free image editor for Windows, macOS and Linux. It combines raster and vector layers in one image, so editable vector shapes and text can sit with painted content. Selections support antialiasing, can become masks, and can restrict later edits to chosen areas. The editor provides transformations, colour adjustments, filters and generated textures including wood, stone and marble. It reads and writes multiple formats, including layered bitmap and 3D files, saves layered work as OpenRaster (.ORA), and imports Paint.NET (.pdn). Batch editing is available, and undo or redo covers the last 200 operations. The download page lists version 7.3 packages for Windows, Linux, Linux ARM, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and MacOS. Portable use is supported, including Windows downloads. LazPaint is written in Lazarus (Free Pascal), maintained by bgrabitmap, callable from a console, and supported by a forum and wiki.
