Easily create AI images on Mac

Use Microsoft Copilot to whip up wonderous creations quickly and simply

IT WILL TAKE 15 minutes

YOU WILL LEARN To generate images using Microsoft Copilot

YOU’LL NEED Microsoft Copilot (Free,copilot. microsoft.com), macOS 14 or later

Artificial intelligence (AI) image generation is all the rage, and even Apple is getting in on the act with Apple Intelligence and the Image Playground app. But right now, we have to say there’s another, better option: Microsoft Copilot.

Copilot is more capable than Image Playground, yet it’s just as simple to use. There’s no need for additional plug-ins or complicated settings, just open it up and start typing your prompts. You also don’t need to tell Copilot that you want it to create an image in the first place. Simply enter your prompt and it will know that you want a picture.
