You can support Paint.NET directly by
purchasing it on the Windows Store. The "classic" desktop version can still be
downloaded free-of-charge from this website, but the Store version has a few
advantages that we think are worth it, such as: automatic background updates, super
easy installation onto all of your Windows devices, and better
reliability.
You can also provide direct support
by way of donating. We ask for a donation of $10 or $15 U.S., but of course we
appreciate any amount. Please note that donations to Paint.NET are not
tax-deductible for income tax purposes.
We fully appreciate the generosity of those who
donate to Paint.NET, and it is very important to us to maintain the community's trust. If
you use PayPal, they will require certain personal information from you in order to create
and establish an account. Some of this information, such as your name, e-mail address, and

any donation received by dotPDN LLC for Paint.NET will be kept private and never sold or
otherwise divulged to any third party. For example, these details include: names, e-mail
addresses, mailing and return addresses (such as one written on an envelope or check).
