Bing Image Creator by Microsoft
The result of Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI, Bing Image Creator uses DALL·E 2 and it’s free (at least for now). The default styles are a little different than the “standard” DALL·E 2 so it’s worth checking out.
The service returns four 1024×1024 square images with stunning details in about 15 seconds. At the moment, however, it lacks advanced options like inpainting — though you could import the image into another service for that task.
While the service is free to use, each user has 25 image boosts that can be refilled weekly or redeemed for Microsoft rewards. Without those boosts, you will just have to wait a little longer to get your images.
The cool thing is that you can use Bing Image Creator within ChatGPT 4-based Bing Chat. As a result and considering Microsoft’s vast reach, Bing Image Creator could easily become one of the most popular image generators on the market.
