Contrary to popular assumption, MS Paint is not going anywhere: while a support document published over the weekend revealed that the program is being deprecated, Microsoft has now clarified that Paint will remain available and is simply being moved to the Windows Store, “where it will be available for free” ( can you imagine if they started charging for the 32-year-old program? ).



Amidst today’s commentary around MS Paint we wanted to take this opportunity to set the record straight, clear up some confusion and share some good news: MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free. Paint 3D – the new app for creativity, also available for free with the Windows 10 Creators Update, will continue to get new feature updates. In addition to the new 3D capabilities, many of the MS Paint features people know and love like photo editing, line and curve tools, and 2D creation are in Paint 3D.
