Simple image editor tool to draw a simple box/rectangle in an existing image
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.
(Almost) similar question has been asked here
Simple image editor?
The problem is none of the solution given can draw a simple box in an existing image. The most voted answer Pinta looks good, but this tool always crash and doesn't help at all.
Other such as Shotwell, GThumb, Shutter don't even have a tool to draw a simple rectangle at all.
I'm looking a very simple tool that can draw a box on existing image like this.
Btw, the image is taken from https://www.tecmint.com/wget-download-file-to-specific-directory/
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.

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.

when I want the simplest and the quickest, I personally think "web" not "app I'm going to download and install"
https://pixlr.com/editor/
click "To enable Flash, please click here." you may have to restart your browser.
then you're in and it's basically photoshop but in a browser window.
it's fast, light, it gets the job done.
