Introduction to Designer App
Microsoft has officially launched its AI-powered Designer app, moving it out of preview mode to make it accessible to iOS and Android users. This app, likened to Canva, allows users to create a variety of visual content using AI-generated text prompts.
App Features and Accessibility
Designer is now available in over 80 languages, accessible as a free mobile app on iOS and Android, and also as a Windows app.
Creative Capabilities with Prompt Templates
The app offers “prompt templates” designed to inspire creativity, providing styles and descriptions that users can customize and share. Users can collaborate by sharing templates to enhance creative projects.
Diverse Content Creation
Users can create stickers, greeting cards, invitations, collages, emojis, clip art, wallpapers, monograms, and avatars using the app’s text prompts and AI capabilities.
AI-Powered Image Editing
Designer enables users to edit and restyle images using AI. For example, users can upload photos, apply different styles, and add details to transform images. A future update will introduce a “replace background” feature powered by text prompts.
Integration with Microsoft Applications
Microsoft plans to integrate Designer into apps like Word and PowerPoint through Copilot. Subscribers to Copilot Pro can seamlessly create images and designs within their workflow. Additionally, Word users will soon have the option to generate banners based on their document content.
Enhanced Integration with Microsoft Photos
Microsoft Photos on Windows 11 now features deeper integration with Designer, allowing users to edit photos using AI directly within the Photos app. Functions include object erasure, background removal, and auto-cropping.
