About Mini Paint

Mini Paint is an online image editor that runs in a web browser using HTML5 technologies. It is used to create and edit images without downloading or installing software. The GitHub repository page describes it as operating directly in the browser, with images added by pasting from the clipboard, uploading from a computer, or using drag and drop.

The editor includes layers, a range of filters and effects, color adjustments, cropping and resizing, and several drawing and retouching tools. It can save images in formats including PNG, JPG, BMP, WEBP, animated GIF, and TIFF, and it can also save layer data as JSON. The page states that nothing is sent to any server and that everything stays in the browser. The repository page also lists an MIT License and includes instructions for embedding the editor in another page with an iframe.
