Microsoft Copilot is a highly capable AI image generator, allowing you to create unique visuals from simple text descriptions. It is powered by advanced models like DALL-E 3 and GPT-4o to produce detailed, high-quality results.

How to Generate Images

You can start creating by using natural language in several places:

  • Web & Mobile: Visit copilot.microsoft.com or use the Copilot app on iOS or Android.

  • Microsoft Designer: Access dedicated design tools at designer.microsoft.com for more control over styles and layouts.

  • Office Apps: Generate images directly within Word or PowerPoint to enhance your documents and presentations.

Tips for Better Results

To get the most accurate and visually appealing images, follow these best practices:

  • Start with a Verb: Use clear commands like "Draw," "Create," or "Generate".

  • Be Descriptive: Include specific details about the subject, setting, mood, lighting, and colors.

  • Specify Style: Tell Copilot if you want a particular look, such as photorealistic, watercolor, anime, or 3D render.

  • Refine and Iterate: If the first set of images isn't perfect, you can ask for changes like "make it sunnier" or "add a blue bird" to modify the existing concept.
