Microsoft Designer is a graphic design app for Microsoft 365, a subscription service that allows access to Microsoft's Office. You can see what kind of application it is by watching the following movie.

If you enter the concept of the image you want to generate on the app in characters, DALL-E 2 will generate it. With Microsoft Designer, you don't need to draw with drawing software, and you can create the work you want to make from scratch with just an image.



You can then use the generated images to make cards and posters.



The design is adjusted by AI, and if you use the 'Design Idea' function, the content in the design will be unified in an instant. It is also possible to post cards, posters, and images you have created to SNS as they are.



Microsoft Designer was born from the presentation application PowerPoint. Microsoft Designer can use a free web preview version by registering an email address at the link below. The web preview version has limited functions at the time of article creation, but it seems that the restrictions will be lifted little by little. Also, in the future, in addition to the official release of the free app, Microsoft 365 individual members and family members will be able to use the premium version with more functions.

This Microsoft Designer will also be integrated into the web browser Microsoft Edge. It seems that anyone can easily use image generation by DALL-E 2 from the browser.

In addition, it was announced that a new function 'Image Creator' that generates images with DALL-E 2 from the entered character string will be added to Bing, a search engine provided by Microsoft. Even if you search for an image by entering keywords into a search engine when there is an image you want, it is often the case that you cannot find an image that suits you. In such a case, Microsoft says that you can create images that do not exist by using Image Creator.



As for Image Creator, Microsoft says, 'We are taking a cautious approach to feature rollout.' Image Creator will soon start a limited preview in some regions, and will collect feedback from this limited preview to learn AI and improve the experience.

Also, according to Microsoft, DALL-E 2, used in Microsoft Designer and Image Creator, removes sexually explicit and violent content from the datasets used to train the models and produces images that violate content policies. It is said that a filter that limits the will be deployed.

Microsoft said, 'It's important to recognize that early technologies like the DALL-E 2 are new, and we expect them to continue to evolve and improve. We take AI seriously and responsibly.' We are committed to working with OpenAI, the partner who developed DALL-E 2, to take the necessary measures and evolve our approach to ensure that DALL-E 2 does not produce inappropriate results in Microsoft Designer and Image Creator. I will let you do it,' he said.

In addition, Microsoft announced that in addition to adding the online video editing service ' Clipchamp ' acquired in September 2021 to Microsoft 365, it will be officially released as a Windows 11 and online video editing application. In addition, the website 'Microsoft Create', which summarizes design and creation applications, is open to the public.
