# Drawing

This simple image editor, similar to Microsoft Paint, is aiming at the GNOME
desktop.

PNG, JPEG and BMP files are supported.

[](https://circle.gnome.org/)

Besides GNOME, the app is well integrated in traditional-looking desktops, as
well as [elementaryOS](./docs/screenshots/0.8/elementary_labels.png).

It should also be compatible with the *Pinephone* and *Librem 5*
[smartphones](./docs/screenshots/1.0/librem_menu.png).

## Screenshots
