XP Paint
XP Paint is a web-based version of MS Paint for Windows XP. It is a fork of JS Paint, with the following differences:
- It is self contained in a single .html file (~1 MB in size).
- It is fully usable offline.
- It removes many excess features from JS Paint that are not in the actual Windows XP MS Paint (besides a few features, such as rendering GIFs and increased history).
- It is much lighter than JS Paint (since it only includes the essential features).
- It is Windows XP styled instead of Windows 95 styled.
