Step by step

  1. Access Bing Image Creator

    Navigate to bing.com/create or search 'Bing Image Creator' in any browser. Sign in with your Microsoft account when prompted. The service requires authentication to track usage limits and save your creations.

    Note: Bookmark bing.com/create for faster access since it bypasses the main Bing search interface.

  2. Enter your image prompt

    Type your image description in the text box at the top of the page. Be specific about style, composition, colors, and details. Click 'Create' or press Enter to begin generation. The system processes four variations simultaneously.

    Note: Add style modifiers like 'photorealistic,' 'digital art,' or 'watercolor painting' to control the artistic approach.

  3. Wait for generation to complete

    DALL-E processes your request for 15-30 seconds. A progress indicator shows the generation status. The page displays four different interpretations of your prompt once complete. Each image offers a unique take on your description.

    Note: Generation uses 'boosts' from your account. You get 15 weekly boosts, then slower priority processing.

  4. Select and customize your image

    Click any generated image to view it full-size. Use the download button to save the 1024x1024 pixel image to your device. Click 'Customize' to make variations or adjustments to the selected image.

    Note: Right-click and 'Save image as' works faster than the download button for bulk saving.

  5. Refine with new prompts

    Click 'Create' again with modified prompts to generate new variations. Add or remove elements from your original description to fine-tune results. Each new generation creates four fresh interpretations.

    Note: Use 'Surprise me' for random prompt suggestions when you need creative inspiration.

  6. Access your creation history

    Click 'Recent' in the top navigation to view previously generated images. Your history stores images for several months with their original prompts. Click any historical image to download or create variations.

    Note: Historical images remain accessible even after your weekly boosts reset.
