Microsoft Paint is a built-in basic graphics painting program that is included in almost all versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paint, unlike other graphics software, is very basic and there is no direct way to fade a picture. However, you can manipulate the image resolution to create a fading effect to your image. Note that you may require administrative rights on certain images to make the necessary changes.

Launch Microsoft Paint from the start menu.

Click the "File" tab and select "Open" to open the image you want to edit.
