However, it is apparent that the company wants you to use its new Paint 3D app (also free), which first shipped with the Creators Update. MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free. Amidst today’s commentary around MS Paint we wanted to take this opportunity to set the record straight, clear up some confusion and share some good news. It’s been amazing to see so much love for our trusty old app. If there’s anything we learned, it’s that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans. Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia around MS Paint. General Manager of Windows Experiences, Megan Saunders, wrote the following in a blog post: Late Monday night, Microsoft announced that MS Paint is here to stay. Paint 3D users will definitely like them, but then again, we don't think the average user is into 3D creation or is going to be excited by this change.Due to popular demand, Microsoft Paint will live on through the Windows Store. The following video demonstrates it in action: The Free View Editing feature will allow you to manipulate 3D objects in 3D mode. Free view can be used to navigate inside the canvas and its objects using touch or a mouse, and viewing the 3D objects from different angles as if rotating them in 360 degrees.Įarlier, when you tried to edit an object, the app would automatically switch to the regular 2D view. The Paint 3D app comes with a feature called Free View. The button just opens the Paint 3D app with a blank canvas. However, if you have some drawing opened in classic Paint, its Paint 3D button doesn't work as expected. Once the image opens in Paint 3D, you can move or delete objects from it with Magic select, annotate it, add 3D objects etc.

The screenshot you've taken with Snipping Tool, will be opened in Paint 3D, so you can edit it directly. The integration between Snipping Tool and Paint 3D is very smooth. Both apps now come with a special button on the toolbar which allows opening Paint 3D from them. In recent releases of Windows 10, Paint 3D got integration with Snipping Tool and Microsoft Paint.
