Microsoft’s AI-powered Designer app launches on iOS and Android, enabling users to create and edit images, designs, and more on the go. The app, which has been in preview for nearly a year, is now generally available with a range of AI-driven features.

Key features and capabilities: Designer offers a comprehensive set of tools for creating and editing images and designs:

  • Users can generate custom images, stickers, greeting cards, invitations, and more using AI-powered templates.
  • The app includes an avatar creator, allowing users to design personalized avatars.
  • Designer enables AI-driven image editing, such as restyling existing images, removing backgrounds, erasing objects, and adding decorative borders.

Integration with Microsoft apps and services: Designer is being integrated across various Microsoft products to enhance creativity and productivity:

  • Copilot Pro subscribers can now create images and designs directly within Word and PowerPoint.
  • Windows Insiders gain access to Designer features within the Photos app on Windows 11, eliminating the need to switch between apps for image editing.
  • Similar Designer features are also planned for integration into Microsoft Edge in the near future.

Pricing and availability: Microsoft Designer is available as a free app with limited daily usage, while Copilot Pro subscribers receive additional benefits:

  • All users receive 15 free daily “boosts” for creating or editing AI-powered images and designs.
  • Copilot Pro subscribers get 100 boosts per day, providing more flexibility and creative possibilities.
  • The app is now available on Windows, iOS, and Android, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Broader implications: The launch of Microsoft Designer on mobile platforms showcases the company’s commitment to leveraging AI to enhance creativity and productivity across devices. By integrating Designer features into its popular apps and services, Microsoft aims to make AI-powered design tools more accessible and user-friendly for both personal and professional use. The app’s release also highlights the growing trend of AI-driven content creation and editing, which has the potential to revolutionize how individuals and businesses approach visual design tasks.
