Microsoft Designer from Microsoft creates social posts and invitations with AI images inside a simple canvas. It is aimed at Microsoft 365 users making quick graphics, with a free standalone app with Copilot Pro enhancing generation limits. Not competitive with Canva's template ecosystem for broad marketing teams. Editorial teams should verify fit against their compliance and workflow needs before rolling it out broadly.
