Microsoft is enhancing the Paint app in Windows 11 with two new AI-powered features aimed at boosting creativity. First, the Animate feature allows users to transform sketches or images into short animations, rendered on the canvas in about 40-60 seconds. Additionally, the Generative Edit function enables modifications to images using natural language commands, allowing users to alter backgrounds or remove unwanted elements seamlessly.
Both tools are currently available through the Windows AI Labs program, an opt-in initiative that offers users early access to experimental features without needing to be a Windows Insider. Although results may vary, Microsoft continues to refine these capabilities, aiming to integrate more generative AI into its core apps. For those interested in exploring cutting-edge tech, joining Windows AI Labs could provide a gateway to innovative features before their general release. Keep an eye out, as these tools could revolutionize how we use Paint and engage with digital art.
