You can now create AI-generated images using the Bing AI image creator. Adding on the Bing AI Chat niceness value, Bing AI Image creator is a new tool that lets you create images from text. Much as there are many AI tools currently based on the OPEN AI APIs, the new Bing has so far outperformed all including Google’s Bard AI.
By using Bing AI Image creator to imagine photos you wish to use for your next project, or a fresh background image to set on your Windows computer or smartphone. You get instant results that are unique based on your AI prompt.
Unlike other AI image generators available online, the Bing AI Image creator is free to use just like its sister services packed in the new Bing. However, it uses a credits system similar to some ChatGPT alternatives where once they expire, your results may delay to process and also face some limits on generated data.
As a basic requirement, to best use the Bing AI Image creator, make sure you are signed in to your Microsoft account that has access to the new Bing, and follow the 3 major steps explained below.

Generate Images with AI, but in line with the Bing AI policy
As described in this article, you can generate images using AI and use them in your project or send them to friends and family as you’d wish. However, there is a BING AI Image creator policy you must follow when generating images with the tool. If you generate images that are against the policy, your access to the tool is revoked.
Among the key images that are not allowed for generation with the tool include:
- Child sexual exploitation, abuse, child sexualization
- Grooming
- Non-consensual intimate activity
- Sexual solicitation
- Trafficking
So, much as you can generate images using AI for free, you must abide by the rules in order to create a safe environment for every user. For now, as GPT-4 is taking a new turn with image support, Bing has put the power to generate any image that comes to your mind with its new tool.
