Microsoft’s Designer app arrives on iOS and Android with AI editing and creation


Microsoft’s AI-powered Designer app is coming out of preview today for both iOS and Android users. Microsoft Designer lets you use templates to create custom images, stickers, greeting cards, invitations, and more. Designer can also use AI to edit images and restyle them or create collages of images.
Originally available on the web or through Microsoft Edge, Designer has been in preview for nearly a year. It’s now generally available to anyone with a personal Microsoft account and as a free app for Windows, iOS, and Android. The mobile app includes the ability to create images and edit them on the go.
Microsoft Designer includes the usual text prompt for generating images, but there is also a big selection of templates you can use to create things like greeting cards, social media posts, icons, wallpapers, coloring book pages, and much more. Designer also includes an avatar creator, which it prompts you to use on the mobile version of the app.
You can also use Designer to edit images with AI, allowing you to restyle existing images or frame them with decorative AI-generated borders. Designer also includes the ability to edit and remove backgrounds, remove people or objects from images, and features like adding text and branding to images.
While Microsoft Designer is available as a standalone app today, Microsoft has also been making Designer available through Copilot in apps like Word and PowerPoint. Copilot Pro subscribers can create images and designs right within Word and PowerPoint, and Microsoft is adding a new banner image generator for Word documents soon.
Windows Insiders will also get access to Designer within the Photos app on Windows 11 today, with features like erasing objects, removing backgrounds, auto-cropping, and filters all available directly in Photos. Microsoft had been testing sending images from Photos to Designer, but it’s now integrating the features into Photos so you don’t have to leave the app. Similar features are also coming to Microsoft Edge, soon.
Microsoft Designer launches out of preview with 15 free daily boosts that can be used to create or edit AI-powered images and designs. “Boosts are automatically used whenever you’re creating or editing images or designs both in the Designer app and where Designer is integrated across Microsoft apps,” says Sumit Chauhan, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Office product group. “You can upgrade to a Copilot Pro subscription to receive 100 boosts per day.”
