Does Paint.NET support PDF?

Published in Paint.NET Plugins 1 min read

Yes, Paint.NET supports PDF files through a plugin.

Paint.NET, by default, does not have native support for opening or saving PDF (Portable Document Format) files. However, you can extend its functionality by installing a plugin specifically designed for handling PDF files.

This plugin allows you to:

  • Open PDF files: Import the contents of a PDF into Paint.NET for editing.
  • Save files as PDF: Export your Paint.NET creations as PDF documents.
  • Open Adobe Illustrator (AI) files: Open AI files that have been saved with PDF compatibility.

Keep in mind that the quality and fidelity of the PDF import may vary depending on the complexity of the PDF file and the capabilities of the plugin. Not all PDF features may be perfectly supported. It's also important to ensure that you download the plugin from a trusted source to avoid any security risks.
