After integrating ChatGPT into the Bing search engine, Microsoft has now followed up by integrating other OpenAI products: AI image generator DALL-E 2.
It’s fair to say that the introduction of the “new Bing” with ChatGPT AI-powered chat functionality has been a huge success for Microsoft. Now, Microsoft Vice President Youssef Mahdi says in a blog post (Opens in a new tab)the tech giant is “taking the chat experience to the next level by making the new Bing even more visual.”
What it boils down to is using OpenAI’s own AI image generator, DALL-E 2, to form the Bing Image Creator. Basically, instead of using DALL-E 2 to generate images on its website, you can type prompts into the Bing search engine to receive AI-generated images from there using the same engine.
So how do you use Bing Image Creator? We’re about to show you.
How to use Bing Image Creator
Currently, there are two ways to use Bing Image Creator. Microsoft has already rolled out the image builder in the standard Bing chat box for people with access to Bing Preview, so we’ll cover that method quickly. If you don’t have access to Bing Preview (like me), we’ll show you the second method as well.
If you are using Bing Preview, head to bing.com/chat And Choose a creative conversational style.

If you don’t like your photos or they are not quite as you pictured them, Edit your prompt and be more or less specific. The more specific you are, the less interpretation the AI will take with your prompt, and vice versa. In this example, I didn’t want the sky to be gray, so I added “During sunset orange and purple” to my prompt. Click Create or Promote When you are happy and Repeat steps 3 through 5.
Here are my favorite results from Bing Image Creator. They are almost exactly what I had in mind when writing my claims, and the resemblance to my two greyhounds (which I wanted to recreate) is uncanny. My favorite image is that of a gray sky – dogs look a lot like mine, while foreboding rain clouds and patchwork fields epitomize the UK where we live.
