Microsoft Designer
Microsoft's free AI design tool for images, greeting cards, posters and social media graphics.
What is Microsoft Designer?
Microsoft Designer is a free AI design app. Describe what you want ("a poster for a book fair with colourful books") and it creates images and designs for you. You can also edit photos, remove backgrounds and make stickers.
Think of it as describing a picture and watching it appear.
