Microsoft’s AI image generator Designer has officially launched its mobile app after being in preview mode. The app is now available for free on Android, iOS, and Windows devices, allowing users to create various styles of images and designs on the go. This move is expected to increase the tool’s usage and put it ahead of competing AI image generators from other companies. Microsoft has also added new capabilities to Designer, including the ability to restyle uploaded images and a set of prompts to help users get started.
One notable feature of Designer is its use of OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 image generation model, which provides high-quality results. The app also offers prompt templates that are pre-populated with ideas, styles, and descriptions to jumpstart the creative process. Users can test their ideas with these templates and even share them with others, sparking inspiration within the creative community.
In terms of editing capabilities, Designer now allows users to reframe and add AI-generated borders to their images. Additionally, it will soon introduce a background replacement feature that will create a background from scratch based on the user’s vision. These editing options will be particularly useful for mobile users who can directly upload their photos and transform them into different styles.
Microsoft has plans to integrate Designer into the Photos app of Windows 11, allowing users to edit their photos right where they are. However, this integration is currently only available for Windows Insiders. It’s worth noting that while the app and platform offer limited access to Designer and its capabilities for free users, those who want more content generation and added features will need to subscribe to Microsoft’s Copilot Pro subscription, priced at $20 per month.
Overall, Microsoft’s Designer app provides a user-friendly and powerful platform for creating and editing AI-powered images and designs. With its new features and expanded availability on mobile devices, Designer aims to be a leading choice in the competitive market of AI image generators.
