Microsoft Designer
Create AI visuals, posters, and marketing content directly in the Microsoft ecosystem
Overview
Microsoft Designer is Microsoft's AI visual creation tool, accessible free via browser or integrated into Microsoft 365. It generates visuals, posters, social posts, and marketing materials from text descriptions, leveraging DALL-E and Microsoft's AI models.
The free plan offers 15 generation credits per day. Microsoft 365 subscribers (from 6.99 $/month) get 60 monthly credits and direct integration into PowerPoint and Word. It's an affordable entry-level solution for SMBs already on Microsoft 365 who don't want multiple subscriptions.
Our verdict
Ideal for SMBs on Microsoft 365 who want to quickly create marketing visuals without third-party tools. Not the most powerful or creative, Adobe or Canva users will remain frustrated by personalization limits. Its real advantage: no additional subscription if you're already on Microsoft 365.
