What You'll Learn
Open Paint 3D and the JPEG image
To open Paint 3D and a JPEG image, follow these steps:
- Open the Paint 3D app on your PC or Windows 10/11 computer. You can use the Taskbar search box or Windows Search bar to find and open the app.
- Once Paint 3D is open, select "Menu," usually found in the top-left corner of the window.
- File Explorer will open. Navigate to the location of your JPEG image.
- Click on the image to select it, and then click "Open." The JPEG image will now open in the Paint 3D canvas.
- Alternatively, before opening Paint 3D, you can navigate to the location of your JPEG image, right-click on it, and select "Edit with Paint 3D" from the menu. Paint 3D will open with the image inserted.
Now that your JPEG image is open in Paint 3D, you can proceed to edit and resize it according to your needs. Remember that increasing the size of an image in Paint 3D may result in a blurry or pixelated appearance. To avoid this, consider using alternative methods or tools for upscaling your images, such as AI-based solutions.

Switch to the Canvas tab
To increase the size of a JPEG in Paint 3D, you must first open the image in the Paint 3D app. Once the image is open, switch to the Canvas tab.
The Canvas tab is where you can adjust the dimensions of your image. Here, you will find a drop-down menu that allows you to choose whether to change the dimensions by percentage or pixel. If you want to increase the image size, you can do so by adjusting the height and width accordingly.
It is important to note that increasing the size of a low-resolution image may result in poor image quality or pixelation. To avoid this, try to maintain the aspect ratio by keeping the tick in the Lock aspect ratio box. This will ensure that you do not need to change the height and width separately, helping to preserve the image quality.
Additionally, you can use the Ctrl+S hotkey to save your changes without creating a copy of the file. However, if you wish to save a copy, use the File > Save As option.

Change the dimensions by percentage or pixels
To change the dimensions of a JPEG image by percentage or pixels in Paint 3D, follow these steps:
First, open the Paint 3D application on your PC or device. You can use the taskbar search box to open the app. Once the app is open, open the JPEG image file that you want to edit.
Next, switch to the Canvas tab. Here, you will find a drop-down menu that allows you to choose whether to change the dimension by percentage or pixel. Select your preferred method and set the resolution accordingly.
If you want to maintain the aspect ratio of the image, make sure to keep the Lock aspect ratio box ticked. This will ensure that the image is logically resized and prevents it from becoming distorted or stretched.
After making your changes, press Ctrl+S to save the file. Alternatively, you can use the File > Save as option if you want to save a copy of the file.
It is important to note that increasing the size of an image with low resolution may result in poor image quality or pixelation.
