Microsoft Launches AI-Powered Designer App for iOS and Android

Microsoft has introduced the mobile application Designer, a graphic design tool for generating and editing images using AI, on iOS and Android. 

The tool allows users to edit photos and create images, greeting cards, emojis, monograms, stickers, wallpapers, avatars, and more using prompts. The app includes prompt templates to simplify the creative process.

The photo editing menu offers options to remove objects, backgrounds, apply filters, add text, and other tools. 

Microsoft Designer also features a Restyle image function. It allows users to upload a photo, select a style, and describe additional details for customization. The AI will create a new unique image.

A background replacement feature, which will operate based on prompts, is set to be introduced soon. 

Alongside the launch of the Designer mobile app, Microsoft announced the integration of the service with key products like Word and PowerPoint through Copilot. Pro subscribers can create images during their workflow. Soon, it will be possible to generate a banner for a Word document based on its content. 

Microsoft Photos is more closely integrated with Designer. Users can edit photos using AI without leaving the Photos app. 

In April 2023, Microsoft launched a preview version of the AI graphic design tool Designer with new features for a broad audience.

Back in June, Microsoft withdrew a new AI-based feature called Recall from mass release following criticism.

Earlier, media reported on the company’s work on a chatbot for Xbox.
