About
AI graphic design tool from Microsoft — generate social posts, invitations, and illustrations from a text prompt, integrated with Bing Image Creator.
In-Depth Review
Microsoft Designer is a free AI-powered graphic design tool built into Microsoft's ecosystem. Launched in 2022 and integrated with Microsoft 365 and Bing, Designer lets users create professional-looking social media graphics, invitations, posters, and visual content using text prompts and templates.
## Core Features
**DALL-E powered image generation** — Microsoft Designer uses OpenAI's DALL-E model (via Bing Image Creator) to generate images from text descriptions. Type "a minimalist poster for a jazz concert in Paris" and get multiple design options in seconds.
**Template library** — Thousands of professionally designed templates for social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook), presentations, flyers, invitations, and more. Browse by category or ask AI to recommend templates.
**AI-assisted design suggestions** — Type what you need ("birthday invitation for a 7-year-old") and Designer generates complete design options, not just images — text, layout, and color scheme included.
**One-click background removal and enhancement** — Remove backgrounds, adjust colors, and apply effects with AI-powered tools.
**Microsoft 365 integration** — Designer is integrated with PowerPoint, Word, and Teams. Generate presentations slides or document headers without leaving Microsoft apps.
**Designer in Bing** — Accessible directly from Bing Chat: ask for a design and Bing will suggest Designer as a creation tool.
