What You'll Learn
Opening the image in Paint 3D
To open an image in Paint 3D, you can either go to File > Open and choose the image you want to resize, or you can right-click on the image and select "Edit with Paint 3D" from the context menu.
Once you have Paint 3D open, you can access the Canvas menu by clicking on it or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+W. This will open the image in the Paint 3D interface, where you can begin the resizing process.
In the Canvas menu, you will see a new window appear on the right side of the screen. Make sure that the ""Resize image with canvas" option is checked to ensure that your image is not cropped during the resizing process.
Now, you can specify your desired image dimensions by inputting the corresponding numbers in the width and height boxes. Paint 3D allows you to resize in pixels or percentages, and you can choose your preferred option by selecting the arrow in the box to access the drop-down menu.
If you want to maintain the aspect ratio of your image, make sure the "Lock Aspect Ratio" option is checked. This will automatically adjust the width or height of your image when you change one of the dimensions, ensuring that your image is not distorted during resizing.

Checking Resize image with canvas
To resize an image in Paint 3D, start by opening the image in the application. Then, click on the "Canvas" option in the header menu. This will open the Canvas options in the right-hand pane.
Under the "Resize Canvas" section, you will see the current width and height of the canvas. Before you change these dimensions, you should check or uncheck the following options:
Lock Aspect Ratio
Locking the aspect ratio will ensure that when you edit one dimension (width or height) of the canvas, the other dimension will automatically adjust proportionally. This option helps to maintain the original proportions of the image and prevents it from becoming distorted or stretched.
Resize Image with Canvas
Enabling this option will resize the image when you change the size of the canvas. This option is particularly relevant when you want to resize the image along with its background. If your image has a transparent background, Paint 3D will add a plain white background during the resizing process.
In most cases, it is recommended to check both the "Lock Aspect Ratio" and "Resize Image with Canvas" options to ensure the image is properly resized without any distortion.
After making your selections, you can enter the desired width and height in the respective boxes. Finally, save your resized image by going to Menu > Save or using the Ctrl+S shortcut.

Specifying the desired image dimensions
Now, you can specify your desired image dimensions. You can choose to resize the image in pixels or as a percentage. To do this, select the arrow in the box to access the drop-down menu and choose your preferred option. Next, input the desired figure in the width and/or height box. If you have the “Lock Aspect Ratio" option checked, you only need to adjust either the width or height, and the other dimension will automatically adjust to maintain the correct ratio.
It is important to note that if you are increasing the size of an image in Paint 3D, you may end up with a blurry or pixelated image. This can be addressed by “upscaling’ your photos using AI tools.
Once you have specified your desired dimensions and are satisfied with the resized image, you can save it by clicking on the "Menu" button and selecting "Save," or by using the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut.
