Open the image you want to use, by selecting Open, then Browse Files from the Welcome Screen. Use the File Browser to find the correct file you want to edit. Alternatively, you can right-click on the file, and select edit with Paint 3D if you already know where the file is. Select the Magic Select tool, pictured here.

You can zoom in with the mouse scroll wheel. You can Remove or Add additional parts of the picture using the tools on the right side bar. When you hit Done, your image cut-out will appear as a separate object you can move around. Next, you'll want to remove the canvas background. Now, you'll want to save your picture as a transparent image.Go to Canvas and select the Show Canvas toggle to hide it. Go to Menu in the top left, and hit Save. You'll want to select PNG as your image type, since this is an image format that can detect transparency. Also select Transparency toggle from the box as shown here.
