  1. Paint size solution


    I have had an issue with Paint in the past and I have seen other people posting about the same issue. The picture doesn't get saved the same size as you created it, or edited it in Paint and appears really small when the saved file is opened and in one corner of the window top left in my case. Yesterday, having the same issue again, I stumbled on a solution by accident and thought I would post it, in case it helps anyone else.I was attaching the file to an email and was going to inform the recipient, they would need to enlarge it to 100% to see it the correct size. I attached it to the email

  4. Paint size solution

    Typing numbers in Paint appear in different sizes.

    Hi Maria Teresadel Castillo1,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

    • Are you aware of any changes made to the MS paint settings prior to this issue?

    Follow these steps to check if that helps.

    1. Open MS paint.
    2. In the Home tab, click the Text tool which has the ‘A’ symbol.
    3. Click inside the blank image, a text box will be displayed inside the blank image, for you to add text or numbers.
    4. To insert text, type in the text box and click anywhere else on the page when you're done.
    5. Once you see the text box, you will also see additional options to select the font, font size and other options. You can either select the same font size for all numbers or you can also change the font size for each number as
      you desire.

    The Text tab opens automatically when you place the text box, and from there you can select a font, text size, color and other options such as bold, underlined, italic and strikethrough text formats. You can also make the text box opaque if you want.

    Hope this helps and let us know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Srimadhwa B
