Draw a rectangle in Paint

Drawing basic shapes is one of the first skills you'll use in Paint. This quick tutorial shows you how to select the rectangle tool from the toolbar and drag it across the canvas to create a rectangle of any size.

You'll learn where to find the shape tools and how to control the size of your rectangle by clicking and dragging. This fundamental technique works the same way for other shapes too, so once you've mastered rectangles, you'll be ready to create circles, triangles, and more.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be confidently drawing rectangles in Paint and ready to add them to your artwork.
