"MS Paint fans rejoice: The original art app isn't going anywhere -- except to the Windows Store for free!" Microsoft said in a blog post.
Paint 3D, that was released in April in its Windows 10 Creators Update, is also available for free and will continue to get new feature updates.
"In addition to the new 3D capabilities, many of the MS Paint features people know and love like photo editing, line and curve tools, and 2D creation are in Paint 3D," the company said.
