What You'll Learn
Making a copy of the image
Before you begin resizing an image in Paint 3D, it is recommended to make a copy of the original image. This way, you can retain the original image in its original size and make changes to the copy. To make a copy of the image, follow these steps:
Locate the image
Find the image you want to resize on your computer. You can do this by navigating to the folder where the image is saved.
Right-click on the image
Once you have located the image, right-click on it. This will open a drop-down menu with various options.
Select "Copy" from the menu
In the drop-down menu that appears after right-clicking, select the Copy option. This will copy the image to your clipboard.
Right-click in an empty space
Now, right-click in an empty space within the same folder or on your desktop. This will open another drop-down menu.
Select "Paste" from the menu
In the drop-down menu that appears after right-clicking, select the Paste option. This will paste the copied image into the selected location.
Rename the copied image (optional)
You may want to rename the copied image to distinguish it from the original. To do this, right-click on the copied image and select "Rename" from the menu. Then, type in the new name for the image and press Enter.
By following these steps, you will have a copy of the original image, and you can proceed to resize the copy without modifying the original image. Remember to save your work by using the "Save As" option to specify the location and format of the resized image.

Opening the image in Paint 3D
To open an image in Paint 3D, you must first open the Paint 3D app on your PC. You can do this by clicking on the app icon or by opening the Start menu and searching for "Paint 3D."
Once the app is open, you can open your image file by clicking on "File" in the menu bar and then selecting "Open" from the dropdown menu. This will allow you to browse your files and select the image you want to edit.

Selecting the Resize tool
To select the Resize tool in Paint 3D, first, open the Paint 3D app on your PC and open the image you want to resize. You can do this by clicking File > Open and choosing the image, or by using the Ctrl+O shortcut.
Once your image is open in Paint 3D, you need to switch to the Canvas tab. Here, you will find a drop-down menu where you can choose whether to change the dimensions by percentage or pixel. Select your desired method and set the resolution accordingly.
If you want to maintain the aspect ratio of your image, make sure to check the "Lock Aspect Ratio" or "Maintain Aspect Ratio" box. This will ensure that when you change one dimension (width or height), the other dimension will automatically adjust to keep the same ratio.
Now, you can enter the new dimensions for your image in the width and height boxes. If you checked "Lock Aspect Ratio," you only need to change one value, and the other will automatically adjust.

Choosing the measurement type
To change the size of an image in Paint 3D, you need to first open the image in the Paint 3D app. Then, you can switch to the Canvas tab, where you can choose to change the dimension by percentage or pixel.
If you want to change the image size by a certain percentage, select 'Percentage' and ensure there is a black dot next to it. You can then enter the desired percentage between 1 and 500 in the 'Horizontal' text box. For example, changing the image value to 75 will result in it becoming 3/4ths of its original size.
If you want to change the image size in pixels, select 'Pixels' and enter the maximum height or width under 'Height' and 'Width' respectively. The numbers are connected, so the ratio of width to height stays the same. If you change one, the other automatically adapts. For example, if you enter 100 as the new width, the height may change to 133. If that is too large, you can then enter your desired maximum height.
You can also change the file size in Paint 3D by opening the image in the app, clicking the menu button, and selecting 'Save as'. Choose 'Image' as the file format, select a location to save the file, and choose 2D-JPEG from 'Save as type'. Then, click 'Save'.

If you are using Paint 3D to increase the size of an image, you may end up with a blurry or pixelated image. This can be fixed by "upscaling" your photos using AI.
