Pinta omschrijft zichzelf als een opensource-fotobewerkingsprogramma dat te vergelijken is met Paint.NET. Het doet zijn werk bovendien op verschillende platforms, zoals Linux, Mac OS X en Windows. De eigen website biedt niet al te veel meer informatie, maar je kan voor kennisvergaring terecht in deze Google-groep. De ontwikkelaars hebben alweer enkele dagen geleden versie 1.3 uitgebracht, voorzien van de volgende lijst met aanpassingen:
