Paint.NET
Downloads for Paint.NET, such as installer EXEs and portable ZIPs
Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. In order to handle multiple images easily, it uses a tabbed document interface. The tabs display a live thumbnail of the image instead of a text description. This makes navigation very simple and fast. Extensive work has gone into making it the fastest image editor available. Starting the app is nearly instantaneous, and every feature has been thoroughly optimized to take advantage of the latest multicore CPUs, GPUs, and NVMe SSDs. The use of DXGI Flip Model ensures low input latency and reduced power consumption. Whether you have a power-conscious laptop or a monstrous desktop with a gigantic GPU, you can expect it to start up immediately, respond quickly to every mouse click, and take full advantage of all of your hardware. -

Upscayl
Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows
Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows built with Linux-First philosophy. Upscayl is a cross-platform application built with the Linux-first philosophy. This means that we prioritize Linux builds over others but that doesn't mean we'll break things for other OSes. Upscayl does not work without a GPU, sorry. You'll need a Vulkan-compatible GPU to upscale images. CPU or iGPU won't work. You can also download the flatpak version and double-click the flatpak file to install via Store but wait for the full release, we'll be pushing it to Flathub for easy access. Upscayl uses AI models to enhance your images by guessing what the details could be. It uses Real-ESRGAN (and more in the future) model to achieve this. The CLI tool is called real-esrgan-ncnn-vulkan and it's available on the Real-ESRGAN repository. -

Blockly
The web-based visual programming editor
The Blockly library adds an editor to your app that represents coding concepts as interlocking blocks. It outputs syntactically correct code in the programming language of your choice. Custom blocks may be created to connect to your own application. Blockly in a browser allows web pages to include a visual code editor for any of Blockly's five supported programming languages, or your own. Blockly plugins are self-contained pieces of code that add functionality to Blockly. Blockly codelabs provide step-by-step instructions on how to use and customize Blockly. From a user's perspective, Blockly is an intuitive, visual way to build code. From a developer's perspective, Blockly is a ready-made UI for creating a visual language that emits syntactically correct user-generated code. Blockly can export blocks to many programming languages.
