How do I create a circle in Paint?

Asked by Justa (4points) December 14th, 2009 from iPhone

I feel like a dummy for asking this question, but how do I shape the object and then cut out everything else? Paint always creates a square, but I need to make a circle lol.

maybe try spinning the paper.
or start by painting lightly and slowly.

It’s been a very long time since I last used mspaint (or used windows as my os…) but are you looking to draw a circular shape? I was under the impression there was a circle button in the tool box. You can hold the shift key (while you click and drag to draw the circle) to maintain a perfectly circular shape.

Or are you trying to create a circular image in the end? As in, do you want the field you “paint” in to be a circle? In that case, I don’t think it’s possible and you’d have to turn to some program that allows for transparency.

Use ellipse tool in MS Paint. You have to practise to get the judgement to create a circle with ellipse tool.

@prasad No, you can just hold the shift key and it maintains circular dimensions.

@Beta_Orionis Yes, it did. Thanks! I thought, it’s only in Photoshop.
