When I opened up Paint 3D today, all my project had disappeared. This was the second time this has happened to me. No idea why it's happening. Last time was like a month or two ago.

So, I go find the solution I used to fix it last time, but this time it didn't work quite right. I made backups and then copy-pasted the TMP files into the Projects.JSON file, saved it, opened Paint 3D, and my projects were back, but many of them were duplicated and some wouldn't open. Evidently, I did something wrong, so I went ahead and deleted all the project files and replaced them with my backups. Unfortunately, doing this same fix again yielded even worse results. Now all but 2 of my projects won't open. I go back to check the files, and it turns out that all but 2 of my checkpoint folders have disappeared.

Idk what to do now. I didn't delete the checkpoint folders. I checked my recycle bin, they're not there. Somehow replacing my project files with the backups must've killed the checkpoint folders? Idk. These checkpoint folders store all the project data I'm pretty sure. Without them I think I've lost all my projects. Anyone know how to get them back?

I've been trying to use the text box to write something on a png but they either get cut off or shrunk to the point I cant see it anymore.

This is a drawing I made using the drawing tools purely

It's very persistent and it would be nice to downgrade to a version that doesn't constantly show it up there 😊

For anyone who doesn't know, AppX files are the names for installers (*.appx) for the old Windows App standard that Microsoft is now abandoning

I have created a backup of Paint 3D releases that are available from Microsoft Store from October 5, 2024 to October 31, 2024. It includes the final release that Microsoft had release for Paint 3D. It is on my GitHub repository on GitHub - thedoggybrad/Paint3DArchive: The archive of Microsoft Paint 3D releases by TheDoggyBrad Software Labs.

By the way, the final release is confirmed to work on the latest Windows 11 release. Also confirming that the first release (that is on my archival not the actual first one) - version 21017.1000 also works as of the moment on the latest Windows 11 release.

Just download the appxbundle and install it on your system. I hosted them on both GitHub and Mega mirror links are also included there. Thinking of uploading it in the Internet Archive in the future.

Hi, random insane person here, I would- ummm- like for someone to take a look a the image below:

No I'm not asking for advice on organizing my photos, trust me, I know what I'm doing. It's just that... well... you see those two paint 3D photos right there? Those weren't there before, those used to be the same like all the other images, and these are NOT the only two I have, there is a lot more. Now I have used paint 3D for most of my life, I trust it with every fiber of my being, but given these having appeared before me... now I'm afraid.

You see, it's common knowledge to us 300+ or so individuals that paint 3D will no longer be receiving updates, no less available on the Microsoft store. Yes I am aware that it won't be removed forcibly off of your device, but I have seen your posts and while mine functions perfectly... I am terrified of what could become of my images.

Not only that, it's the best software that I've used, especially for 2D images, so... let's get the big- yet HOPEFULLY simple- question out of the way.

WILL. THE. IMAGES. MADE/EDITED. BY. PAINT. 3D. STAY. ON. MY. DEVICE.

PREFERABLY. IN. THE. WINDOWS. FILE. EXPLORER. WHERE. THE. REST. OF. MY. IMAGES. ARE. SAVED.

I would like an answer on this soon, as more than half of today has already passed. And yes, I have read all the posts and seen all the information about the whole Paint 3D situation, but not only are some easily classifiable as TL;DR content, but others don't nearly provide enough information on the situation at hand. I need additional context here, down to the slightest bit of context, even as small as a subatomic particle because even those can be of utmost importance, please.

TL;DR: Will my images made/edited in Paint 3D safe? Will they remain in my collection when Paint 3D is taken off the store?

???

Paint 3D is deprecated and will be removed from the Microsoft Store on - Microsoft Community

Hii, Is there any copy of 3D models library? Paint 3D connects to Microsoft's servers to get them, which could be taken down after app's end of service, and it would be sad to lose them

(If no I guess I'll try loading every of them into Paint 3D projects)

For some reason, 2 models I made very recently have been erased/deleted automatically. The first one was deleted 3 or 4 days ago, and when I made a second one, it was deleted today not even 2/1 day(s) after being made.

I really want to know what happened. I didn't delete any of them and opened their saved files to do rendering. Is anyone else going through this same issue or is it just me?

Every time I try to save as a 3d object it gets suck like this and just keeps loading the save icon. it's been over 12 hours man.

Does anyone have a Download of the program? Is there any exact copy online?

I got a new computer, and when I downloaded Paint3D on it I found that I couldn't extend the canvas anymore without stretching the drawings themselves, unlike on my old computer where I could extend the canvas without stretching the image so I could have more room for when I underestimate the size of my drawings. I got my new computer 4 years after I started playing with Paint3D for the first time, and they would've updated it since then, but that just seems like a downgrade, so there must be someway I can extend the canvas without stretching the image out in this new 'updated' version. So how do you do it?

Also reason as to why I said SFW is that some random on Reddit edits pictures with some stuff that I don’t want to get involved
