Add an image to your presentation with Copilot in PowerPoint
Applies To
Note: The image feature in PowerPoint is only available to customers with a work or school account and a qualifying subscription for Microsoft 365 for business (no Copilot add-on license required), or a Microsoft account with a qualifying Microsoft 365 for home subscription.
How to add an image with Copilot
Copilot can help suggest stock images for your presentation. Maybe you have a presentation on parent volunteer opportunities at your child's school, but it can be improved by some images. Ask Copilot to "Add an image of a school playground," and it will go through the stock images and select an image to add from that collection.
You can also ask Copilot to suggest brand images if you're using Microsoft 365 Copilot and your administrator has set up this option.
Give it a try with your own prompts and see what Copilot can come up with for you!
Create images with AI
You can ask Copilot to "Create an image" and it will use DALL-E 3 image generator to create an AI generated image that you can insert into your presentation.
For example, to have DALL-E 3 create a fun new picture, you can ask: "Create an image of a dog wearing sunglasses." The more specific you can be about what you want, the better the response you're likely to get.
Tips for prompting generated images
Creating an image works differently than searching for stock images.
Designer's Image Creator works best when you're more descriptive, so get creative and add details like adjectives, locations, or even artistic styles such as "digital art" and "photorealistic."
Here's an example of how to create a longer, more descriptive prompt:
-
Original prompt: "Create an image of an astronaut."
-
Descriptive prompt: "Create a close-up photo of an astronaut in a glowing suit made of plasma, as if the galaxy is inside of it, putting on their helmet, but you can't see their face because of the visor, realistic, film stock, bright colors."
