Paint 3D is an update to a classic painting program. A particularly popular feature of this easy-to-use app is the conversion of 2D images into 3D scenes. Paint 3D features a Magic Select tool, you can remove objects from arbitrary images as in other graphics tools, and then convert them into 3D objects, save them as so-called stickers and paste them into any other 3D scenes. Until now, this was only possible with the objects manually selected with the Magic Select.

In Paint 3D we can also save the background as a sticker in other pictures as a new layer or 3d object.
