Painting Droid is an AI-powered cross-platform painting app inspired by the legendary MS Paint, but expandable with plugins and open. It utilizes various AI models, from paid providers to self-hosted open-source models, as well as some lightweight ones built into the app. It works in the browser and as a desktop app on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• Apply filters and effects to the entire image or a selected area.
• Resize, crop, rotate, and flip the image.
• Plugin support.
• Cross-platform compatibility.
