Tool Information
Microsoft Designer is an AI-assisted graphic-design application for creating social posts, images, invitations, layouts, backgrounds, stickers, and other visual assets.
Users sign in with an approved account, provide authorized material, generate and edit designs, inspect text and imagery, check accessibility and brand rights, and disclose synthetic media when relevant.
A free experience is available, with higher limits and capabilities included in eligible paid Microsoft 365 and Copilot plans; regional entitlements vary.
Generated designs may contain inaccurate text, biased imagery, or copyrighted and trademarked elements. Consent, originality review, accessibility, licensing, and human approval matter.
