This question already has an answer here:
How do I create highlights on a screenshot?
5 answers
I need a simple image editor tool to draw a simple box/rectangle in an existing image, and probably write a simple text in it.
A similar but not the same question has been asked here before:
Simple image editor?
The problem is that none of the solutions given can draw a simple box in an existing image. Pinta looks good, but this tool always crashes and doesn't help at all.
Others such as Shotwell, GThumb, Shutter don't even have a tool to draw a simple rectangle at all.
I'm looking for a very simple tool that can draw a box on existing image like this.

Please do not suggest GIMP, as I'm looking for a very simple tool, probably like Pinta, but not buggy and must be stable.

I use Pinta, but it has a repeatable crash... but I've found a way around it... after editing an image... DO NOT click SAVE... just click the windows close button... then select SAVE when it asks you. Done.

If you're using a GNOME environment, try gpaint. It's in the universe repository:

If you're using a qt-based system such as Kubuntu or Lubuntu 18.10, try kolourpaint. It's in the universe repository:

If you want something a little advanced, try ksnip which is available as an AppImage from https://appimage.github.io/ksnip/. You can see What is an "AppImage"? How do I install it? for more on AppImages.

Thanks @DK Bose,ksniplooks like something that I'm looking for. This is the best answer so far. Let me test it first

When I need to edit a picture quickly, I do it through the web. Simply because it starts much faster than any "installed" app I ever tried :/
I use www.Photopea.com. To draw a rectangle, choose a Rectangle tool in the toolbar, set the Stroke to Red (or any other color) and Fill to None.
I think it is better than Pixlr, it doesn't require Flash and supports more input / output formats.
It also has advanced features. If you ever need to do more, it is easier to extend the knowledge of one advanced tool, than to learn 37 new single-purpose tools.
