About this tag
The editable-project tag covers Microsoft Paint's new .paint file format, which preserves layers and edit state for resumable work. Recent updates also add a per-tool opacity slider for Pencil and Brush, making Paint a more capable free image editor for casual creators and students. These features are currently rolling out to Windows Insiders in Canary and Dev channels, with broader release pending. The tag focuses on Paint's evolution from a basic utility to a lightweight alternative to Photoshop, including improvements to layers, transparency, and AI integration on Copilot+ PCs.
