Microsoft is releasing Windows 11, the latest version of its operating system. Windows 11 is a major update to the operating system and includes new features and improvements. One of the new features in Windows 11 is Paint. Paint is a program that allows users to create and edit images. Paint has been updated in Windows 11 and includes new features such as support for 3D drawings and layers. Windows 11 also includes improvements to the Start menu and taskbar. The Start menu now has more options, including quick access to your favorite apps, and the taskbar has been redesigned so that it’s easier to see what’s running on your computer. Windows 11 is available free of charge for all users of Microsoft’s Windows 8 or later versions of the operating system. ..
Panos Panay knows how to get our attention, as Microsoft’s Chief Product Officer consistently drops teaser videos for new Windows 11 features. In his latest tease, Panay showed off Paint in Windows 11, and it looks quite promising.

The interface looks quite different from the Paint app we know and love, but it doesn’t appear that too much has changed in terms of functionality. The only notable new features that you can see in the teaser video are a dark mode and the option to change text alignment. Otherwise, it’s still a basic image creation tool.
Some Windows users like the core functionality of Paint, so it makes sense that Microsoft wouldn’t want to change too much about it. However, it would have been nice to see some enhancements to the core functionality. We don’t expect Paint to replace more powerful image editing tools like Photoshop, but a few more powerful features would have been excellent.
According to Panay, the new Paint app will make its way to Windows Insiders soon, so we’ll be able to dig in and see if any new features are hiding within the app that the video didn’t show off. However, we’re relatively sure it’s mostly the same app with a Windows 11 look and feel.
