Draw, text and stickers

Point at something with an arrow, write over a photo, add a sticker. Each one stays a thing of its own — move it, change it or remove it any time before you save.

In the app: ? in the editor, or F1, opens this page while Draw, Text or Stickers is open.

All three work the same way: put something on the photo, and it is chosen — drag it to move it, a corner to resize it, the round handle to turn it; Del removes it. Click it again later to change it; its tool's panel shows its settings.

Draw

The Draw panel: rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow, pen, highlighter; width, opacity, colour

D, then drag on the photo. What to draw:

  • Rectangle, Ellipse — with a Fill: none, a colour, or half see-through.
  • Line, Arrow — an arrow curved, with both ends, a filled head. Drag a line's end to move just that end.
  • Pen — by hand; Highlighter — by hand, see-through, as on paper.

Then its width, opacity and colour.

Text

The Text panel: style, font, size, bold, italic, lines, colour, around it

T, then click the photo where the text goes, and type. A style sets its whole look in one click:

Plain, Outline, Label (on a plate), Neon, Script, Gradient, Stamp.

Then any of it by hand: the font (More… for every font of this PC), size, bold, italic, the lines to the left, middle or right, its colour, and around it — a shadow or an outline.

Stickers

The Stickers panel: emoji in sets, Fluent or flat

S, then click one to put it on the photo. They are Windows' own colour emoji, in sets: Popular, Faces, Hearts, Weather, Travel, Bubbles, Badges. Look: Fluent, as Windows 11 draws emoji, or Flat.

Being drawings, they stay sharp however large you make them.
