AI image generator and editor that turns text prompts or uploaded images into new visuals, with free daily fast creations and slower unlimited standard mode.
Microsoft Image Creator is a web-based AI image tool from Microsoft, accessible through Bing and the Bing mobile app. You describe a scene in words or upload your own image, then generate new visuals or edit, remix and reimagine existing pictures. It offers model choices such as MAI-Image-2.5-Flash and MAI-Image-2e, selectable aspect ratios, multiple image quantities, prompt suggestions and ready-made templates. A photo editor adds tools for restoring old photos, removing backgrounds, retouching, expanding and enhancing images. It suits casual creators, designers and marketers who need quick concept art, illustrations or edited photos. Sign in with a personal Microsoft account to create; guests face daily limits. Each day brings 15 free fast creations, then standard-speed creation continues, and Microsoft Rewards points can buy extra fast generations.
