Bing Image Creator: A Guide To Using It in 2025

Built on OpenAI’s latest DALL·E model, this tool lets you create images with just prompting.

Without prior design skills, this text-to-image model can produce stunning outputs.

No doubt that within the first 6 months, 750 million images were generated with Bing image creator (source). It shows how addictive & fun this tool can be.

Well, if you are hearing about this tool for the first time, don’t worry, you will quickly get the hang of it. In this article, we will go through it and see how you can generate images with words!!

Let’s get started!

How You Can Access Bing Image Creator

Now there are many ways you can access this tool:-

Here are some:

• Dedicated Image Creator site — Go to https://www.bing.com/create (alias bing.com/images/create). Sign in with any Microsoft account and you’ll see the familiar four-tile generator with your Boost counter at the top-right.

• Copilot / Bing Chat on the web — Visit https://copilot.microsoft.com (or just bing.com/chat), choose any chat tone and type something like “create an image of …”.

• Microsoft Edge sidebar — In Edge, click the sidebar “+”, enable Image Creator under By Microsoft, then pop it open whenever you want to prompt without leaving the page you’re on.

• Microsoft Designer — Head to https://designer.microsoft.com/image-creator (or https://create.microsoft.com/features/ai-image-generator). The designer reskins the tool, providing a cleaner UI and some quick editing options, but it’s the same free, personal-use generator behind the scenes.

• Bing mobile app (iOS / Android) — Install the Bing app from the App Store or Google Play, tap the Copilot tab, then choose the Image Creator mini-app. Your Boosts and history sync with the web version.

• SwiftKey keyboard (Android) — While typing anywhere, open SwiftKey’s emoji panel, tap the Image Creator icon, and describe your scene; the generated picture drops straight into your chat.

• Recent Update: The Image Creator is also available within Word Copilot and the Windows Copilot/Paint sidebar for Microsoft 365 and Copilot Pro subscribers, although its availability remains limited.

Heads-up: Microsoft lets you use these AI images for personal projects. Anything commercial (ads, merch, paid client work) still lives behind a licence wall. (Source)

We will start with one method in this demonstration, but you can access the tool in any way that is convenient to you.

How To Use Bing Image Creator

Go to https://www.bing.com/images/create Note: You need a microsoft account to access the bing image creator, we will avoid going through the sign up process.

To create a good prompt, you should follow some general instructions, some of which are: -

1. Start with a clear subject

2. Add 2–4 vivid adjectives

3. Specify style/medium

4. Include lighting or color palette

5. Mention angle/composition/background

6. Append negative prompt e.g., “ — no text, no watermark”

7. Keep phrasing short, comma-separated

8. Avoid blocked words/celebrity names

9. Iterate small tweaks, one change at a time

10. Save effective prompts for reuse

Using the same general instructions, I am creating an image of a pizza with the following prompt:

Top-down commercial food photo, bright studio lighting — right half: single gooey cheese pizza slice on matte slate plate; left half: clean vivid-red background reserved for chunky sans-serif headline “Grab a Slice, Smile Wide” — high-contrast, 50 mm lens, vibrant colors — no watermark, no extra text, no border

Now let’s see how the Bing creator makes the image for us. ⬇️ Here are the images it produced for us: Let’s see images one by one: Let’s see the second image: There are more images, a total of four, that the Bing image creator produces.

As you can notice that the quality of images is great, but the text on the images is unreliable, with spelling mistakes, missing words, or additional text on the images, as you can see from the above examples.

Using Templated Image Generation API

If you are using images for blogs, podcasts, newsletters, or thumbnails, an image without text will look fluff. But you can’t also afford them with spelling mistakes.

Using Templated, you can programmatically add images to your images.

One example of it can be: You can add different texts to the images and keep iterating with the image. Using Templated’s API, you can automate your image generation.

Integrate it with any programming language, we have ready codes for JAVA, Python, PHP, and JavaScript.

However, you can also connect the API with no-code tools like Make, n8n, and Zapier (Or any other no-code tools)

Templated has native integration for n8n, Make.com, Zapier and more.

Conclusion

Bing Image Creator is fun, fast, and a great way to explore AI-generated visuals — especially if you’re just experimenting or creating for personal use.

But if you’re using these images professionally — for blogs, newsletters, ads, or social media — you’ll quickly run into limitations: especially when it comes to text. The AI often gets it wrong, and fixing it manually takes time.

That’s where Templated comes in.

You get full control over the visuals and the text — no spelling errors, no weird fonts, no surprises. Plus, you can automate the whole process with tools like Zapier, Make, or n8n.
