What is Bing Image Creator?

Bing Image Creator is an AI-powered tool that can generate images using word descriptions. Open AI’s DALL-E was among the first AI tools to be able to do that, and now Microsoft has integrated an advanced version of the same tool into Bing.

This was done because, according to Microsoft, images are the most searched category after general web searches. And this new addition helps to give a visual aspect to the search engine.


How to Access Bing Image Generator?

Currently, Bing Image Creator is only available to Bing preview users on Microsoft Edge. So if you haven’t already, then you can join the waitlist. It will be available very soon as a separate option in the Microsoft Edge sidebar on the desktop and will also make its way to Android and iOS.

Here’s how you can join the Bing AI waitlist.

Tips and Tricks for Microsoft Image Creator

DALL-E is a powerful AI tool and since Microsoft is using an advanced version of the AI, you can create some awesome artwork with just the right prompts. So here are a few tips and tricks to get the best out of the Bing Image Generator.

  • Be descriptive about the subject and the background of the image in detail to get the best results.
  • Mention the art style like oil painting, cartoons, anime, or realistic.
  • Describe the tone or the mood of the scene like vibrant, gloomy, bright, or dark.
  • Use suggestions by Bing chat to add more to your generated image.
  • Specify camera angles if necessary like a wide shot, bird’s eye view, or close-up.
  • Don’t add too many subjects. AI can mess up images with multiple subjects so just stick with one.
  • Make your prompt clear and descriptive. Vague prompts can confuse the AI and may result in weird images.
