About Us

Clear, accurate Paint 3D guides for everyone, from your first brushstroke to your first 3D print.

Why we built get-paint3d.com

Paint 3D is one of the friendliest ways to start making art on Windows, yet reliable help for it has always been scattered across old forum threads and outdated videos. When Microsoft retired the app from the Microsoft Store in November 2024, good answers became even harder to find.

So we brought everything into one place: what each tool does, how to finish common tasks step by step, how to get Paint 3D back when it disappears, and which apps to try if it no longer fits your needs.

get-paint3d.com is an independent project and is not affiliated with Microsoft.
