JS Paint

A closer look at JS Paint

What JS Paint is on jspaint.app

JS Paint is a browser-based remake of classic MS Paint created by Isaiah Odhner. The site runs an MS Paint clone in the web browser and links to a readme and project homepage for more details.

What you can actually do there

Use an in-browser painting app that implements basically every feature of MS Paint, including text tools and the traditional toolbars, plus extra options added by the author. The project also provides a downloadable desktop app and mentions an AppImage build for Linux.

Request features and report bugs through GitHub, email, or Discord, and there is a link to support the project via PayPal.

Accessibility and extra input modes

JS Paint includes separated accessibility features such as a Quick Undo Button, Enlarge UI, Dwell Clicker, Vertical Color Box, and a Head Tracker that moves the cursor with your head using the webcam (powered by Tracky Mouse). Dwell Clicker can automatically click by hovering and works with head tracking.

Who will enjoy or find it useful

People who want a faithful MS Paint experience in the browser or a desktop-friendly build, those interested in accessibility features or head/eye-tracking input, and anyone who wants to join the project's Discord or contribute via GitHub or email.
