Microsoft Designer

Microsoft Designer is an AI graphic design app from Microsoft. It is made for non-designers, creators, and small teams. You type a text prompt and the app makes social posts, invitations, stickers, and graphics. You can also edit photos: erase objects, remove backgrounds, and restyle images. It works on the web, Windows, iOS, and Android. A personal Microsoft account is required to sign in. AI generations use daily boosts, which refresh for free accounts.
