Parts
of the
MS Paint
Window
The Paint Window
The paint
window is the
typical view
once you open
the app. It
contains all the
parts of the MS
Paint such as
the canvas,
title bar,
ribbon and
zoom control.
Title Bar

• The title bar is found at the top part of the paint window. It
is the name of your artwork or the image you are
creating/editing.

• “Untitled” is the default name every time you create


something new in paint.

• Title can be changed/edited once you saved your work.


Menu Icon
• At the left end of the Title Bar
the first item shows a
little paint palette. If clicked, this
button opens a standard window
menu, offering Restore, Move,
Size, Minimize, Maximize and
Close.
Quick access toolbar
• The next four items make up the
Quick Access Bar, offering
buttons for Save, Undo, Redo
and Customize.

• If you click the dropdown arrow,


you'll see other commands that
you can add if you wish.
File TAb
• File Tab contains useful options
such as Open a new paint
window, Save and Print.

• Save as— is very important if


you ever want to save a cutout
without losing the rest of your
picture.
Home TAb

• The Home Tab is open by default.


• The Home tab contains the Ribbon, from
which tools and colors are selected.
View TAb

• Zoom in and Zoom out tools can be clicked repeatedly to get a closer
or more distant view.

• The 100% option is handy when you've finished working in a very


zoomed in view. One click and you're back to normal.

• Rulers and Gridlines are convenient if you want to align shapes


accurately.
View TAb

• On the Display section, you can click for Full Screen View. You can
also get a Full Screen View by hitting F11. In either case, come
back to a normal view by pressing the Esc key.

• Thumbnail is only available when you are zoomed in. It lets you see
how changes you make are affecting your picture in normal view.

• You can flick back and forth between the Home tab and the View
tab as often as you like.
CANVAS

• A resizable area where we can


create, draw and edit images.
• It holds the work that will be saved
into a picture.
Status bar
The Status Bar sits at the very bottom of the Paint Window.

• Cursor Position is helpful when you want to position


something precisely.

• Selection Size: Shows the size of a selection you're making, or


of an object you're drawing.

• Image Size: Shows the size of your entire picture, even if it is


very large and not all visible in the window.
Status bar

• Disk Size - Once you've saved a picture, this will show


its Size on Disk. In a very small window, this figure may
not be shown.

• The Zoom Control is convenient if you're working in a


zoomed-in view and want to zoom out. However, you
can't zoom in on a particular spot, as you can with the
Magnifier.
