Windows 10: How to increase the canvas' size handle in MS Paint

My employer got me an Alienware laptop to work from home with Windows 10 Pro. I use MS Paint a lot and I noticed that the resize handles are super small and I have such a difficult time finding them, especially the side one and bottom one. Furthermore, although at 100% view, the canvas size looks very small 450 x180px. How do I increase the size of these? See the two pictures for comparison. My current MS Paint. Canvas looks very small size of 450 x 180px and the size handles are almost invisible. What I'm used to. Canvas looks a lot bigger same size of 450 x 180px and the size handles

increasing pixtels in Fresh Paint

Hi Diego,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.



You can change the canvas size as it has full editing area of an image. The canvas size command will let you increase and decrease an image’s canvas size. Increasing the canvas size adds space around the existing image and decreasing will crop the
image.



Try the steps below and check if the issue is resolved:

• Choose the image and click on Canvas size
• Enter the dimensions for the canvas in Width and height boxes. You can also choose the units of measurement from the drop down bar located adjacent to height and width options.

Refer to the Fresh Paint FAQ from the link below and check if it helps.

Hi,

I understand your query related to changing the size of the canvas in Fresh Paint. I will certainly try my best to assist you with the issue.



Ideally, the canvas size can be adjusted when selecting the canvas from a new file. In order, to select the size of the canvas you need to select the Custom Canvas option and then select the size as per your need.
