Jasc Software, Inc. was an Eden Prairie, Minnesota based company founded by Robert Voit, the creator of Paint Shop Pro, a popular graphics editing program. Jasc Software also created other popular software titles, including:

  • Image Robot
  • Animation Shop
  • Media Center Plus
  • Webdraw
  • After Shot

On October 14, 2004, Corel Corporation acquired Jasc Software and its Paint Shop Pro operations. The Eden Prairie offices remain as a development and technical support call center.[1]

On November 28, 2007, Corel announced the closure of the Minneapolis office, officially putting an end to what was Jasc Software. [2]

  • "Jasc" is derived from the acronym, J.A.S.C. (Just Another Software Company). Founder Robert Voit needed a name to protect his assets legally, but at the time had not decided to make a go of the company so he came up with a tongue-in-cheek name. Later when the company took off, he realized that was not the best connotation for a company to have so he "changed" publicly the acronym to (Jets and Software Company) because he was a commercial airline pilot prior to starting the software company.[3][4]
