Microsoft’s AI-powered Designer app is now available on both iOS and Android platforms. This versatile app allows users to create images, stickers, invitations, and much more with the help of AI. Previously accessible only on the web or through Microsoft Edge, Designer has exited its preview phase and is now generally available to anyone with a personal Microsoft account. It can be downloaded for free on Windows, iOS, and Android.
Create and edit images on the go with Microsoft Designer
With the Microsoft Designer app, users can create and edit images directly from their mobile devices. The app offers a wide range of templates to help users design custom images, stickers, greeting cards, invitations, social media posts, icons, wallpapers, and even coloring book pages. Additionally, the app includes an avatar creator, enhancing its utility on mobile devices.
Advanced AI editing features
One of the standout features of Microsoft Designer is its AI editing capabilities. Users can restyle existing images, create collages, and frame images with decorative AI-generated borders. The app also allows users to edit and remove backgrounds, remove people or objects from images, and add text and branding to their creations. These features make it a powerful tool for both personal and professional use.
Integration with other Microsoft apps
Microsoft Designer is not just a standalone app. It is also integrated into other Microsoft applications through Copilot, allowing Copilot Pro subscribers to create images and designs within Word and PowerPoint. This integration streamlines the design process, enabling users to enhance their documents with custom graphics and designs without leaving their primary work environment. Microsoft is also planning to introduce a new banner image generator for Word documents soon.
Enhanced photo editing in Windows 11
Windows Insiders will benefit from the integration of Microsoft Designer features within the Photos app on Windows 11. This integration includes functionalities such as erasing objects, removing backgrounds, auto-cropping, and applying filters directly within the Photos app. This update eliminates the need to switch between apps, making photo editing more seamless and efficient. Similar features are also expected to be available in Microsoft Edge soon.
Daily boosts for creative projects
Upon its launch, Microsoft Designer provides users with 15 free daily boosts, which can be used to create or edit AI-powered images and designs. These boosts are automatically applied whenever users create or edit images or designs within the Designer app or any other Microsoft apps where Designer is integrated. For users requiring more, upgrading to a Copilot Pro subscription will offer 100 boosts per day.
Microsoft Designer expands creative possibilities
The release of Microsoft Designer on iOS and Android marks a significant step in expanding the creative capabilities available to users. By incorporating advanced AI tools and integrating with other Microsoft applications, Designer offers a comprehensive solution for both casual and professional design needs. With features that streamline the creative process and enhance productivity, Microsoft Designer is set to become an essential tool for anyone looking to create high-quality, custom designs.
