In Windows 95-98, Windows 2000 and Windows Me, Paint can open JPEG, GIF and 48-bit ( 16-bpp) TIF images and save images in JPEG and GIF formats when appropriate graphics filters are installed. Later versions of Paint do not support this feature. This functionality only works correctly if the color depth of images is 16-bits per pixel (bpp) or higher. Microsoft shipped an updated version of Paint with Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, which allows saving and loading a custom set of color wells as color palette (.pal) files. This version was later superseded by Paintbrush in Windows 3.0, with a redesigned user interface, true color support, and support for the BMP and PCX file formats. It was a licensed version of ZSoft Corporation's PC Paintbrush and supported only 1-bit monochrome graphics under a proprietary "MSP" format.
The first version of Paint was introduced with the first version of Windows, Windows 1.0, in November 1985. Microsoft eventually reversed course and announced an updated version of Paint in Windows 11. However, Paint continued to be included with Windows 10. Microsoft had envisioned Paint 3D as a replacement. In July 2017, Microsoft added Paint to the list of deprecated features of Windows 10 and announced that it would become a free standalone application in Microsoft Store. It is still widely used for simple image manipulation tasks. For its simplicity and that it is included with Windows, it rapidly became one of the most used applications in the early versions of Windows, introducing many to painting on a computer for the first time. The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. The program opens and saves files in Windows bitmap (BMP), JPEG, GIF, PNG, and single-page TIFF formats. Microsoft Paint is a simple raster graphics editor that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows. IA-32, x86-64, and ARM (historically Itanium, DEC Alpha, MIPS, and PowerPC)
