Microsoft has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence, having recently released a fresh batch of AI tools for their free graphic design app, Microsoft Designer. These tools make the creation of high-quality visuals faster, easier and more accessible. Now, users can make a prompt, such as “a Facebook post promoting my latest sale,” and Microsoft Designer will lead them to a range of AI-generated imagery and text options. The app already incorporates AI in its visuals, but with the recent updates even more options are available.
The new AI tools are available to try out right away, introducing users to a much needed streamlining of creative workflows. The benefits of AI have been making waves through a range of creative design apps, and it was only a matter of time before Microsoft Designer incorporated them. With the option to upload pre-existing images and further customize designs, this platform is perfect for those working on social media posts, online promotions and much, much more.
What’s more, the integration of Microsoft Edge, the company’s recently AI-enriched browser, means users can also benefit from a cleaner experience when working with the app and smoother transitions between tasks. And as if that weren’t enough, the app will soon feature new AI-based editing tools, such as fill, expand background, erase, and replace background.
The company has been working hard to make a free, online app that is easy to use and helpful in enabling the creation of a wide variety of graphic designs. Their persistence is certainly bearing fruit; We had a chance to give the AI tools in Microsoft Designer a spin, and found it relatively straightforward to create attractive, custom templates that could be used as great visuals even on social media.
Microsoft Designer’s lead developer, Devarsh Bothra, has been instrumental in making this dream a reality, providing consistent hard work and unwavering leadership that have allowed the project to come to life. The continuous updates and adaptations have allowed the app to become the innovative powerhouse it is today, and it looks to only get better from here.
