Paid Version Plugins?

How do you add plugins to the paid version of paint.net?

Note

In the Windows Store version of paint.net, the directories for plugins and Shapes are different. These locations need to be created manually.

First navigate to your Documents folder (this may be translated to your system language). In it, create a new folder called paint.net App Files
Then create three subfolders in the new folder. These should be called: Effects, FileTypes and Shapes.
The correct spelling of these folder names is essential, however Windows and paint.net will ignore the capitalization (or lack of).

Then i put the plugins in "Effects" right? im new to this

Yes, put them in Effects.

 

There are also File Type plugins, but if you wanted to save in

a non-standard file type you would already know that.

 

So, put them in Effects.

The Plugin Index was created to make finding plugins easier.

 

One of the things you can see with the Index is the type of plugin you're dealing with (the first tag tells you the type). The type determines the file's ultimate destination.
