To increase the eraser size in Paint, select the Eraser tool and then choose a larger size from the Size menu located on the ribbon above the canvas. This menu provides pre-defined size options for the eraser.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Select the Eraser Tool: Click on the eraser icon in the Tools group on the Home tab.
- Adjust the Size: Look for the "Size" dropdown menu or button on the ribbon (toolbar) at the top of the Paint window.
- Choose a Larger Size: Click the "Size" button, and a list of available sizes will appear. Select the desired size. The eraser cursor will now reflect the chosen size.
Important Considerations:
- Limited Size Options: Paint offers a limited number of preset size options for the eraser. You cannot enter a custom size.
- No Keyboard Shortcut (Without Assistance): Paint itself doesn't have a built-in keyboard shortcut to quickly change eraser size.
