PaintFE

What PaintFE is

PaintFE is a free, open-source photo editor available through the web and on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports RAW photos, layer editing, masking tools, batch editing, and AI retouching. Editing is local, so work is handled on the device rather than through cloud synchronization. The Free / Open Source plan costs nothing, carries an MIT license, and requires no account or subscription. PaintFE has no premium tier, meaning the listed capabilities are not divided between free and paid levels. Its browser and desktop availability gives users several ways to access the same editor across supported systems. RAW support addresses camera files, while layers and masks support more structured image work. Batch editing is available for processing multiple images, and AI retouching is included among the listed tools. The available facts do not specify individual workflows beyond these capabilities. The main practical consideration is whether local editing and the stated photo tools meet your needs, especially if cloud synchronization is important.
