Microsoft has introduced a new ‘Paint Cocreator’ feature for its Paint app. The new AI feature can create images with text inputs. It is powered by DALL-E, OpenAI’s text-to-image model.
“We are beginning to roll out an update for the Paint app to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels (version 11.2309.20.0 or higher). With this update, we are excited to introduce Paint Cocreator, a new AI-powered experience powered by DALL-E that helps you create amazing artwork in Paint by describing in a few words what you’d like to create,” the tech giant said in a Windows Insider blogpost.

You can optionally select an art style, and when you click Create, Paint Cocreator will generate three variations of artwork for you to choose from. Select any of them to add to the canvas.

It’s important to note that Microsoft is slowly rolling out access to Paint Cocreator, so when you get the update, you must first join the waitlist by signing in with your Microsoft account and clicking on the new Cocreator button in the toolbar. You will get an email notification when you are in the preview, and the company will give you 50 credits to get started. Each credit allows you to generate a new set of images.
Microsoft further mentioned that it is committed to responsible AI practices. As a result, when you use Paint Cocreator, Microsoft will apply content filtering and have other safeguards in place to prevent the generation of images that might be harmful, offensive or inappropriate.
“We are continuing to optimise how Paint Cocreator works based on real-world usage and feedback,” the tech giant added.
Microsoft recently introduced support for layers and transparency on its Paint app. Also, in June, the company introduced support for dark mode in Paint.
