Once you're done, you can add the text to your canvas. However, be aware that once you've added the text, you won't be able to edit it, so make sure you're happy with it first!

What You'll Learn
Launch Paint 3D and open the image
To begin adding text to an image in Paint 3D, you must first launch the Paint 3D application. Paint 3D is available on Windows 10. You can launch the application by selecting it from your list of apps.
If you wish to open an existing image, you can do so by opening the Start Menu and typing "Paint 3D" in the search box. Alternatively, you can open the search box by pressing the Start button on your taskbar. Once you have opened Paint 3D, you can then open your image file by pressing Ctrl + O.
If you are using Paint 3D for the first time, you may need to give the application permission to access your files. To do this, simply follow the on-screen instructions when you first launch the application.
Once Paint 3D is open, you can then begin to add text to your image.

Click on the text button
To add text to an image in Paint 3D, you must first open the image in Paint 3D. Then, click on the text button in the top bar or the text icon in the menu bar. This will open the text menu, which will appear on the right side of your screen. Here, you will find two text options: 2D and 3D.
After selecting the type of text you want to add, drag the mouse on the canvas to create a text box. You will see the cursor in the text box, where you can start typing your text. If you want to format your text, be sure to click inside the text box before clicking outside of it, as once you click outside the text box, you won't be able to make any changes to the existing text.
If you want to add 3D text, you can follow the same steps as above, but choose the 3D text icon from the right-side menu. After creating the text box, simply start typing the required text using your keyboard. You can also tweak the font style, text size, formatting, and color.
To start a new line of text, simply press Enter on your keyboard while the text box is still active.

Choose between 2D and 3D text
Paint 3D offers users the ability to add either 2D or 3D text to their images. This text can be used for captions, banners, or posters.
When choosing between 2D and 3D text, it is important to note the differences between the two. 2D text will always appear flat on the background, whereas 3D text can be oriented and edited in three dimensions like other 3D objects in Paint 3D.
To create 2D text, simply press the "T" or "Alt T" keyboard shortcut for the text tool. Then, select the 2D text option from the sidebar. You can then format the text by choosing the font, its colour, and size, as well as basic formatting. It is important to note that you cannot easily change text formatting later, so it is recommended to experiment with different options before finalising. Once you are satisfied with your text, click outside the text box. You can then rotate, move, and resize your text.
Similarly, to create 3D text, use the same keyboard shortcut to access the text tool. This time, select the 3D text option from the sidebar. You can then format the text by choosing the font, its colour, size, and other formatting options. Again, double-check your text before finalising, as editing after is not easy.
It is worth noting that you can turn 2D text into a 3D object. To do this, use the Select tool to draw around the 2D text you want to transform, then click "Make 3D" in the sidebar. However, this will not turn the text into fully 3D text, but rather a flat 3D object that can be oriented in space.

- You can also customise the background colour of 2D text by selecting the text box and choosing a new colour from the "Background colour" dropdown in the "Text" menu.
