Tux Paint

What Tux Paint is

Tux Paint is free computer art software for children, with tools for making pictures on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Children can draw with brushes, stamps, shapes, text, and labels, as well as choose from more than 90 Magic effects. Finished pictures can be saved in a virtual picturebook, exported, shown as slideshows, or exported as animated GIFs. Parents and teachers can add brushes, stamps, and fonts, and use Tux Paint Config to adjust how the program behaves. Classroom controls include full-screen mode and options to disable printing and quitting or limit printing frequency. Optional accessibility tools include an on-screen keyboard, keyboard or joystick pointer control, and adjustable button and interface font sizes. Tux Paint runs on the user's computer without requiring Internet access. The project says parts of the software have been translated into 129 languages. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2, and the free plan allows installation on as many machines as desired. Android installation sources include Google Play and F-Droid; Linux packages include Flatpak and Snap. The official site also lists an unofficial iOS port for iOS 15.6 or later, which is not free and includes in-app advertisements.
