PaintFE

What PaintFE is

PaintFE is a free, MIT-licensed photo editor available on the web, Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports RAW photos, layer editing, masking tools, batch editing, and AI retouching. Editing is local, and the Free / Open Source plan costs nothing, requires no account or subscription, and has no premium tier. The feature list therefore describes the editor's capabilities without dividing them among paid plans. PaintFE does not include cloud sync. Its combination of RAW support and editing tools may suit photo tasks that call for layers, masks, or batch processing, while local editing keeps work local rather than synced through the service. Browser and desktop availability gives users several ways to access it. The listed facts do not describe specific workflows beyond these capabilities, so prospective users can weigh the stated tools against their needs, particularly if cloud sync matters. The website is paintfe.com.
