About This App

Paintbrush is a free, lightweight paint program for macOS reminiscent of the classic MacPaint and Microsoft Paint. It provides straightforward drawing and image-editing tools including brushes, shapes, text, selection tools, and basic filters. Users can open and save images in common formats like PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP, with full transparency support for compatible formats. It is designed for quick sketches, basic image edits, and casual creative work rather than professional-grade image manipulation. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

A native Apple Silicon build of Paintbrush is available and has been confirmed running on Intel-Mac users' systems. Download the latest version from the official Paintbrush site or SourceForge — the installer will automatically serve the native Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs, so no special steps are required. Simply install over your existing copy and restart the app. Your existing images and preferences will be preserved. The native build will deliver noticeably better performance and battery life compared to the Intel version running under Rosetta.
