Windows 11 comes with the modern Paint app that doesn’t add the “Edit” context menu item for images. Note that Windows 10 includes the “Edit” right-click menu option by default, which launches the classic Paint app. In this article, we’ll see how to add the “Edit” option to the right-click menu for image file types in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

“Edit with Paint” Context Menu in Windows 11<\/h2>\n

To add the “Edit with Paint” option for image file types, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download add-edit-with-paint-windows-11.zip<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Unzip the archive and run <\/span>add-edit-with-paint-windows-11.reg<\/span><\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You should now see the “Edit with Paint” context menu option for .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .jfif, .png, .tif, .tiff, and other image file types.<\/p>\n
