How to use the editor
The editor is designed to work immediately. These steps cover the main workflow.
1. Start or open an image
Use File to create a blank canvas, open an image, add an image as a new layer, or continue a project stored in this browser.
2. Draw and arrange
Choose a pencil, brush, fill, text, eraser, picker, selection tool, or shape. The property bar changes to show the settings for the active tool.
3. Edit with layers
Create, duplicate, hide, reorder, merge, or adjust the opacity of layers. Local projects keep this layer structure for continued editing.
4. Remove a simple background
Select Remove background to detect a uniform background. Review the detected color and adjust tolerance or edge cleanup when needed.
5. Save or back up
Export a finished image as PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Download a .paint11 project backup before clearing browser data or moving to another device.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The editor reads and processes opened images in your browser. Normal page requests are still handled by the hosting provider.
Where are local projects stored?
They are stored in this browser on this device. Clearing site data, using private browsing, or changing browsers can remove or separate those projects.
How do I move a project to another device?
Download a .paint11 project backup from the File menu, move that file, and open it in Paint 11 Web on the other device.
Why does background removal work better on some images?
It is intended for white or relatively uniform backgrounds. Complex scenes or subjects with colors similar to the background may require manual cleanup.
Is this Microsoft Paint?
No. Paint 11 Web is an independent browser-based editor and is not affiliated with Microsoft.
Privacy policy
Paint 11 Web is designed to minimize data collection. No account is required, and image editing takes place in the browser.
Information handled by the service
Paint 11 Web does not ask for a name, account, profile, or payment information. Images and layered project data selected in the editor are processed locally in the browser and are not intentionally uploaded to an image-editing server.
Browser storage and preference cookies
The service stores recent layered projects and previews in browser storage so work can continue on the same device. It also uses preference cookies for the selected language and whether the introduction has been dismissed. Preference cookies may remain for up to one year.
Local projects remain until you delete them in the editor or clear the site's browser data. Private browsing and browser storage limits may prevent local saving.
Hosting and security data
The hosting and network provider may process standard request information such as IP address, browser and device details, requested URLs, timestamps, and security signals to deliver and protect the site. Paint 11 Web does not use this information to access the contents of images edited locally.
Advertising and Google services
If Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to deliver, measure, and personalize or limit advertising. Advertising may not be active at all times or in every region.
Where required, a consent message will be shown before advertising storage or personalized advertising is used. You can review how Google uses data on partner sites and manage ad personalization using the links below.
Your choices
You can remove locally stored projects from the editor and delete cookies or site data in your browser settings. Blocking storage may disable language persistence, introduction preferences, or local project recovery.
Changes to this policy
This notice may be updated when storage, hosting, analytics, advertising, or contact practices change. The latest revision date appears at the top of this page.

No warranty
The service is provided as available without a guarantee that every file, browser, edit, export, or background removal result will work perfectly. Check exported files before relying on them.
