'''PaintShop Pro''' ('''PSP''') is a [[raster graphics editor|raster]] and [[vector graphics editor]] for [[Microsoft Windows]]. It was originally published by [[Jasc Software]]. In October 2004, [[Corel]] purchased Jasc Software and the distribution rights to PaintShop Pro. PSP functionality can be extended by [[Photoshop plugins|Photoshop-compatible plugins]].

The X-numbered editions have been sold in two versions: PaintShop Pro, which is the basic editing program, and PaintShop Pro Ultimate, which bundles in other standalone programs, additional artistic tools and/or plugins. The particular bundled programs have varied with each numbered version and have not been sold by Corel as separate products.

From release 8.00 onwards PSP came with an interface for automating tasks with scripts written in [[Python (programming language)|Python]].
