Creating stunning designs usually requires expensive tools and years honing your craft. But Microsoft is changing that with the game-changing preview release of Microsoft Designer.

Powered by advanced AI, Microsoft Designer makes graphic design simple for anyone. Just describe what you want, and the AI will generate professional designs in seconds. Read on to learn how Microsoft Designer can revolutionize how we create.

The Evolution of AI-Powered Design

In recent years, AI has become capable of assisting humans with creative tasks like writing, music composition, and visual art. Microsoft Designer represents a major leap, allowing complete novice creators to produce designs rivaling those made by experts.

At its core, Designer uses a machine learning model called DALL-E 2. This AI system was trained on billions of text-image pairs to learn how to generate realistic images from descriptions.

Designer builds on top of DALL-E with a streamlined interface tailored for design tasks like social posts, invitations, banners, and more.
