Microsoft has recently announced Microsoft Designer. However, the app is only available on the web, so there are no native apps for Windows. But there is a way to use the web-based app to use Microsoft Designer on Windows 11. If you’ve never heard of Microsoft Designer, it’s a generative AI-based app that allows you to create different graphics, posters, presentation content, and more.

Since it’s only available on the web, there is no native app, but you can still use it on Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS, or Linux. You can use it to create several types of content you can share on social media and other channels. Microsoft Designer is based on OpenAI’s Generative-AI DALL-E, which allows you to create images from prompts. This is quite similar to Bing Image Creator.

Users must describe the image and provide other context, such as choosing the art style, location, and activity. This feature is also integrated into the Microsoft Edge browser in the sidebar, which you can enable from the sidebar. Despite this, it is still in the early testing phase and is only available in English.
