You may have worked on projects like those in Word or Publisher before, but Designer is a separate app.<\/p>\n<p>What sets Designer apart from other design tools is that it uses <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/dall-e-2\/\">DALL-E 2 by OpenAI<\/a>. It\u2019s a type of artificial intelligence that allows you to create images and artwork\u00a0simply by entering a text description of what you want. The feature will help you find unique graphics for your projects, and thanks to advanced programming they can be very realistic.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use your own images and the built-in design tools to completely customize your visuals. With templates, shapes, photos, icons, text styles, and color themes, you can explore different looks and get the exact design to fit your project.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_I_Get_Microsoft_Designer\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">How Can I Get Microsoft Designer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As of December 2022, Microsoft Designer\u00a0is available as a preview on the web via a waiting list.
