A fun trick, but I wouldn't want to explain to users why their things are saved as a .png, not why their things is lost after they opened and saved the PNG in Paint.





It can also become a security issue when users inadvertendly share layers/history/whatever that isn't visible anymore in the final image but still in the editable part.

If a user is using paint to edit their photos, they're 100% not going to be interested in having the source document to play around with.
