AI Revolution Comes to Paint, Snipping Tool, and Notepad

Microsoft is introducing artificial intelligence enhancements to Paint, Snipping Tool, and Notepad for Windows 11 users. These updates include generative AI features and are rolling out to Windows Insiders on Canary and Dev builds, with some functions limited to Copilot+ PCs. Paint now allows users to design stickers with AI-generated prompts and offers Smart Object Selection for pinpointing elements in images. Snipping Tool upgrades include a “perfect screenshot” feature that edits automatically and a color identification tool providing HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Notepad’s new abilities enable AI-driven text creation and editing through simple menu commands. Together, these updates highlight Microsoft's push to integrate AI into everyday applications.
