JS Paint is a pixel-faithful clone of classic Microsoft Paint, with its tools, its undo history and its familiar interface. Open it and you get the little toolbox, the color palette and a blank canvas. Doodle, fill, draw lines and save your masterpiece, all in the browser.
It is a comfort-food kind of site. The tools are meant to behave the way you remember, which is the whole point. If you ever spent a rainy afternoon making a bad drawing of a house with a spray can, this will feel like coming home.
It works on phones as well as computers, though drawing with a mouse is a better fit. Allow about five minutes to play. A good companion to 98.js and Infinite Mac if you are in the mood for old computers.
Tips for getting the most out of it
- Try the fill tool and the brushes.
- Use undo freely.
- Save your drawing before you close the tab.
