JS Paint is also included in a web-based version of Windows 98,
along with Notepad, Minesweeper, Sound Recorder, Calculator, and Winamp.
For a more native experience, you can install the JS Paint desktop app. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Features:
Alternatively, you can install JS Paint as a PWA (Progressive Web App), but this does not yet support offline use (as it doesn't include a Service Worker). It's more like a bookmark (for now), except it runs in a special window.
The user interface for installing PWAs differs by browser and operating system.
On most desktop browsers, the install prompt is in the URL bar.
On mobile, the install prompt is generally found in the menu of browser options.
See
Installing PWAs for visual guidance.
I also made a separate elaborate MS Paint clone that runs in the terminal, and edits ANSI art in addition to bitmaps.
You can install it with:
pip install textual-paint
And then run with simply:
textual-paint
Requires Python 3.10 or later, and a terminal emulator with Unicode and true color support.
Runs well in Windows Terminal, but not in the older Windows Console.
Runs well in iTerm2, but not the built in macOS Terminal.app.
Runs well in GNOME Terminal, and most Linux terminal emulators, but not the Linux console.
Textual Paint was built using the Textual framework, which was very fun to work with!
I may have more Paint projects planned, the mad man that I am. 🎨
What's more retro than a terminal-based Paint program, I wonder?

Feel free to copy these to your site! Some of them are rubbish, but a few of them I'm quite happy with.
Right click on the image and select "Save image as..." to download it,

I don't know where most of these came from, and I've repurposed some of them.
