Let’s explore a few.
Image Creation Tools
There are two ways to create images on CoPilot. These include the following.
- Microsoft Designer
Microsoft Designer has recently been disintegrated from Microsoft CoPilot. It was found as one of the items on Copilot’s menu before disintegration.
It now exists as a standalone application and is available as a web app and mobile application. It can be downloaded on Google Playstore.
Various images can be generated using Microsoft Designer. These include greeting cards, flyers, icons, customized pictures, etc. You only need to type in your keywords and boom! There you have the options to choose from as in the screenshot above.
Designer is still under development as there are limited templates available to choose from. However, you can maximize the create with AI and Edit with AI features to tweak your designs to your satisfaction.

Limitations of Prompts in Graphic Design
CoPilot can generate images through the use of prompts. However, its capability is limited to straightforward artistic images. It cannot create a well-designed flier like we saw on Designer.
The screenshot below shows its current limitation in this area.
So, I asked CoPilot to turn the first image into a complete flyer. It asked for details but failed to generate any visual design.
Inspiration and Idea Generation
You can also use Copilot to brainstorm visual concepts and explore different styles. For instance, if you’re designing a new logo but need fresh ideas, Copilot can suggest various design elements and trends. Many designers have successfully used Copilot to break through creative barriers and produce engaging visuals.
