The first thing that you may notice is that the new Paint 3D opens slower than the classic Paint program. That's why I will concentrate my observations on interface and differences in functionality mostly. I have used Paint in the past, but only to paste a screenshot from the Clipboard and to save it afterwards.

I'm not a designer and not the target audience. Features may be pulled, interface elements moved, or new features introduced. While it seems likely that the version resembles the final product in functionality and interface, there is a chance that things are changed before release. Notes: Paint 3D is available as a preview version currently. Update: Microsoft launched Paint3D alongside classic Paint in the Windows 10 Creators Update.Īs a user of Windows 10, and Paint in particular, you are probably wondering how Paint 3D compares to the classic Paint desktop application.

It is unclear yet if Microsoft plans to replace the win32 version of Paint that was part of all recent and not so recent versions of Windows with the application version Paint 3D, or if both will remain available at least for some time.
