Microsoft Designer Fuses PowerPoint With Dall-E 2 AI Art When Microsoft Designer was first released, it was a ground-breaking product that allowed users to create stunning presentations with ease. But what if you want to use PowerPoint in a more creative way? What if you want to use it as an art tool? That’s where Dall-E 2 comes in. Dall-E 2 is a powerful artificial intelligence software that can help you create stunning 3D designs and illustrations. It’s perfect for creating logos, illustrations, and even videos. And with Microsoft Designer, you can easily add Dall-E 2 AI into your presentations and make them look like works of art.
Microsoft Designer was announced today, based on the Designer feature in PowerPoint, which attempts to match the content of your slideshows with less-generic backgrounds. The new dedicated Designer app is branded as a graphic design tool “that helps you create stunning social media posts, invitations, digital postcards, graphics, and more, all in a flash.”
The new app allows you to type in text, which appears like the title of a PowerPoint slide, as well as a text prompt for generating a background image. Microsoft is using DALL-E 2 by OpenAI to create the images, so they should look reasonably fine — though generating designs for commercial use with AI art is still a murky field. You can also substitute your own images, which are integrated into Microsoft’s templates.
Designer is available today as a web preview, which is free but has a waitlist. Microsoft says it will be available as a free app when it’s ready, with “more premium features available to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers.” Microsoft also plans to add a version of Designer to Microsoft Edge, because Edge definitely needs more bloat.
