How to resize images in Paint 3D application on Windows 10

For a long time, the Paint application was normally the default application for many people to edit and resize images. In Windows 10, Microsoft introduced a new application called Paint 3D, which has a unique set of features compared to the old Paint. As you can guess from the name itself, Paint 3D is primarily designed for creating and editing 3D images. In fact, the new canvassing feature and all the tools are primarily geared towards creating and editing 3D images. However, the Paint 3D app can still do almost anything that the old Paint app can do.

One of the common things most people do with Paint is resize an image. For example, if the image is too large or too small, you can use the built-in application to resize it as needed.

In the old Paint app, simply add an image to the Paint app and click the Resize button . Paint 3D is nothing else. But since the user interface of modern apps is a bit different, resizing images in Paint 3D can be confusing.

So in this quick and simple tutorial, let Make Tech show you the steps to resize an image using Paint 3D in Windows 10.
