What You'll Learn
Adding text to an image
Step 1: Launch Paint 3D and Open Your Image
Open the Paint 3D application and load the image that you want to edit. You can do this by clicking "File" on the top bar and then selecting "Open" to browse for your desired image. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + O" to open an image.
Step 2: Click on the Text Button
Once your image is open in Paint 3D, navigate to the top bar and click on the Text button. This will activate the text tool, allowing you to add text to your image.
Step 3: Choose 2D or 3D Text
After clicking on the text button, you will see two options on the right side: 2D text and 3D text. Select the type of text you want to add to your image. This choice will determine whether your text appears flat on the image or pops out with a 3D effect.
Step 4: Create a Text Box
Now, you need to create a text box on your canvas. To do this, simply drag your mouse on the canvas to draw a box. You will see a cursor blinking inside the box, indicating that you can start typing your text.
Step 5: Type Your Text
With the text box in place, you can start typing your desired text. You can format the text by changing its font, size, colour, or applying other effects. However, make sure you do this before clicking outside the text box, as you won't be able to edit the text once it's placed.
Step 6: Position Your Text
After typing your text, you can adjust its position on the image. You can move the text box around to place it in your desired location. If you're using 3D text, you can even position it in front of or behind other 3D objects in your image.
Step 7: Save Your Changes
Once you're happy with the positioning of your text, it's time to save your changes. Click outside the text box to finalise your edits. Remember, you won't be able to edit the text again after clicking outside the box, so ensure everything is correct before finalising.
It's important to note that Paint 3D has some limitations when it comes to text editing. Once your text is placed and saved, you cannot move, erase, or change it within Paint 3D. If you need to make changes, you can use workarounds like painting over the text or copying and pasting other portions of the image to cover it up. Alternatively, you can use third-party photo-editing tools that offer more flexibility in text editing.

Editing text
To add text, click on the "Text" button in the toolbar at the top of the window, and then select either 2D or 3D text. Then, drag the mouse on the canvas to create a text box and start typing. Don't click outside the box if you want to format your text.
Once you have selected the text, you can use the "Text" menu to adjust the size, change the font style, alter the font colour, and change the background colour of 2D text. To resize the text, you can also click and drag the corner handles. To resize text proportionally, hold down the Shift key while dragging the corner handles.
You can also flip and mirror text. To flip text, select it, and then click the "Flip Horizontal" or "Flip Vertical" button in the toolbar. To mirror text, select it and then click the "Mirror Horizontal" or "Mirror Vertical" button in the toolbar.
Finally, remember to save your work regularly to avoid losing any progress. Click on the "File" menu in the top left corner of the screen, select "Save" or "Save As", and choose where you want to save your file.

- Launch Paint 3D and open the image where you want to add the text.
- Click on the "Text" button in the top menu bar.

Once you click outside the text box, you cannot edit the text. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your text is correctly formatted and resized before clicking outside the text box.

To mirror text, select the text and then click on the "Mirror Horizontal" or "Mirror Vertical" button in the toolbar. You can also flip text horizontally or vertically using the buttons in the toolbar.
It's important to note that once you click outside the text box, you can't edit 2D text at all, and you can't add more text to 3D text. So, make sure to review your text before finalizing it.
