This tutorial will show you how to select or generate custom stickers in the Microsoft Paint app on a Windows 11 Copilot+ PC.
The Paint app included in Windows 11 is a simple and powerful graphics editor with a range of uses. You can edit images quickly or create masterpieces with the tools in this app. Once you’re done, you’ll be able to save and share your files in almost any format.
Starting with Paint app version 11.2504.451.0, Microsoft is introducing sticker generator, a new AI-powered feature that lets you create custom stickers by simply typing a prompt. Once the stickers are generated, you can click on any one of them to instantly apply it to your canvas, copy the sticker for use in other applications, or save it for later.
