Microsoft Paint
Simple drawing program
Microsoft Paint is a basic image-editing program bundled with Windows operating systems since 1985.
Its simple tools—brush, fill bucket, spray can, shape outlines—made it a gateway to digital art for generations of computer users: I made this in MS Paint.
The program's crude aesthetic became iconic, spawning ironic "MS Paint art" as a genre.
