Microsoft just announced its AI-powered Designer is out of preview and now available worldwide, bringing advanced image generation, editing, and design capabilities to users on mobile and Windows platforms. The details:
- Designer is available in over 80 languages on the web, on Android and iOS, and via Windows platforms.
- The app uses AI to generate images and designs from text prompts, with the ability to create outputs like custom stickers, emojis, avatars, and more.
- The free version offers 15 daily ‘boosts’ for AI creations, with 100 for Copilot Pro subscribers ($20/mo).
- New features include ‘prompt templates’ for fast creation, ‘Restyle’ for remixing existing images, and ‘Frame’ for creating personalized frames and collages.
Why it matters: Microsoft is making a big push into the AI design space, but it isn’t alone — with major players like Canva and Adobe already leaning heavily into the tech to make creativity more accessible to everyday users. With no shortage of options, the AI boom is set to completely reshape how people approach design.
