Although a picture is worth a thousand words, what if one sentence could produce thousands of pictures? Artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted almost every aspect of our lives, changing the way we produce and engage with digital content. Visual content is the emperor if content is the king, and anyone can now create amazing AI-based visual content.
Microsoft and OpenAI partnered to change the game after Microsoft realised the potential of AI. The AI-enhanced Bing search engine with an integrated chatbot was first made available in February 2023, marking the start of this initiative. Building on this momentum, Microsoft released Bing Image Creator, a more advanced model based on OpenAI’s DALLE 3 model, a month later.
With the free AI tool Bing Image Creator, you can speak your thoughts into an image. The sophisticated machine learning algorithm of Bing AI art generator, which has been trained on millions of images, powers it flawlessly.
The options are endless when it comes to creating logos, hyper-realistic scenery, sketch paintings, or digital art in the Japanese style. However, prompts that result in dangerous or harmful images—such as those that show violence, hate speech, or public figures—are not accepted by the system. It warns you and rejects it automatically.
The image creator makes it clear that artificial intelligence created the images. When you use Image Creator, each image has a changed Bing icon in the lower-left corner. Eliminates the hassle of recognising artificial intelligence-generated images.
Accessing and using Bing Image Creator
Bing Image Creator, which runs on DALL∙E technology, makes access easier by not requiring an OpenAI or DALL∙E account. Using the Microsoft Edge browser, Bing.com/Create, or Bing Chat, you can use it with a Microsoft account.
Upon initial visit, the website displays a full-page view with four AI-generated sample images, the Image Creator, and a prompt box at the top. After responding to your prompt and clicking Join & Create to sign in using your Microsoft account, you can start making pictures.
It’s a simpler process for Edge users. To begin prompting, select the Copilot icon from the sidebar or select the Compose tab.
You can create better images by using descriptive prompts. Use your imagination and include specifics. In case you’re not sure what to enter, the Surprise Me button provides imaginative suggestions. A formula is suggested by Bing Image Creator for creating prompts. An adjective (like fuzzy) comes first, followed by a noun (like humanoid), a verb (like wearing jeans), and a style (like cyberpunk). Additionally, the website offers guidelines and sample descriptions for images.
Bing Chat is the simplest tool for creating prompts, but it requires Edge. Request a thorough prompt for your image, then utilise it in Bing Image Creator. This usually results in more intricate images. Additionally, you can alter Bing Chat’s prompts to fit your preferences. These are screenshots of the images we made and the prompts we used.
What do Bing Image Creator’s Boosts mean?
You start off with 25 boosts, or credits, with Bing Image Creator, and you can use one boost per image. You can continue to create images after using 25 boosts because the platform is free, but the generation time for each image increases from 10 to 30 seconds to up to 5 minutes. Your boost limit eventually rises to 100, and daily refills—a change from the previous weekly refill schedule—restore these boosts.
With Bing Image Creator, you can exchange 500 Microsoft rewards points for five additional boosts to expedite the creation of images. You can earn points by using Bing to search the web, playing games on your Xbox system, shopping at the Microsoft Store, and other activities. Get your best wireless headphones and your Xbox ready, because these points are earned rather than purchased.
