While you can use Microsoft's Designer tool to generate AI-based images from any web browser by visiting the dedicated website for Copilot or Designer, accessing them is quicker and easier right in Microsoft Edge.
Through an integrated sidebar, you can launch and use Copilot or Designer to request images based on your descriptions. You can view the images in the sidebar and then open one in the main browser window to share, save, and modify it.
