Microsoft Paint, the iconic drawing program that has been a part of the Windows operating system for decades, is about to get an exciting new update. With the debut of the Paint Cocreator feature, Microsoft is bringing generative AI powers to the software, making it easier for users to create stunning AI art.
Users will find a new “Cocreator” button on the toolbar, and upon clicking it, a sidebar will open to the right. In this sidebar, users can input a text prompt and select a style, and Cocreator will swiftly generate an image for users to edit, PC World reported.
The catch
Accessing the Cocreator feature comes with a catch. You’ll need to download the latest Windows 11 22H2 update first. Additionally, you’ll have to wait a few weeks until the updated Paint app becomes available. Alternatively, you can download the Windows Insider version of Paint and join a waitlist until it’s your turn to access the feature.
Windows 11 23H2 update
Microsoft plans to release the Windows 11 23H2 update, also known as the Windows 11 2023 Update, as a cumulative rollup release for the fourth quarter. It is expected that Cocreator for Paint will be available with this update, allowing even more users to experience the power of generative AI art within Microsoft Paint.
The Cocreator feature has transformed the software into a more sophisticated and powerful tool, allowing artists and enthusiasts to create stunning artwork effortlessly using AI. Let us know your views on this in the comments section below.
