How Do I Add a Border to an Image in Paint 3D?

Adding a border to an image in Paint 3D involves using the Shape tools and customizing their line properties. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open your Image in Paint 3D: Start by opening the image you want to modify in Paint 3D.

2. Insert a Shape:

   • Click on the "Shapes" icon in the top menu.
   • Choose a shape (rectangle, square, circle, etc.) that closely outlines the area you want to border. A rectangle is often the easiest.

3. Adjust the Shape's Size and Position:

   • Carefully drag the corners of the shape until it is positioned around the image, creating the border you desire.

4. Customize the Border (Line) Properties:

   • In the right-hand panel, ensure the "Line" option is toggled On.
   • Choose a color for your border by clicking on the color selection box.
   • Adjust the thickness (Weight) of the line to your liking. The higher the number, the thicker the border.
   • You can also change the line style (Dashes), choosing between solid, dashed, dotted, etc.

5. Remove the Fill:

• If the shape is filled, set the "Fill" option to Off in the right-hand panel. This will leave only the border visible.

6. Final Adjustments (Optional):

   • If you need to fine-tune the border's placement, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge the shape into the perfect position.

7. Save Your Image: Once you're satisfied with the border, save the image. Go to Menu -> Save. Note: Paint 3D often saves as a .PNG by default, which is usually good for images.
