Windows 11 Paint Notepad AI Update: New Coloring Book and Text Refinement Features
Microsoft introduces AI features for Paint and Notepad on Windows 11, including a 'Coloring book' generator and text improvements for Insiders.
Your basic Windows apps just got a whole lot smarter. Microsoft is breathing new life into legacy tools, turning Paint and Notepad into AI-powered creative assistants.
Microsoft’s Windows 11 Paint and Notepad AI Evolution
According to reports from The Verge, Microsoft is rolling out advanced AI capabilities to Windows 11 Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels. These updates bring features that seem surprisingly advanced for apps traditionally known for their simplicity.
Turning Prompts into Coloring Pages
The standout feature in Paint version 11.2512.191.0 is called 'Coloring book.' It allows users to generate blank coloring templates based on text prompts. While innovative, early feedback suggests the AI designs can occasionally be hit-or-miss, with some illustrations appearing unfinished or lacking detail.
Notepad’s Smart Text Overhaul
Notepad isn't being left behind. It's gaining AI text improvements that can help refine writing, adjust tone, and polish content directly within the app. This move positions the lightweight editor as a more viable tool for quick professional drafting.
