Frequently asked questions

Bing Image Creator is not available to users signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID (typically a work or school account).

If you are using Bing Image Creator within Copilot Search or Bing Search, you will be prompted to sign-in to Bing Image Creator before generating any images.

Bing Video Creator is only available to users logged into their personal Microsoft Accounts (MSA), it is not available to users logged into their Microsoft Entra ID.

Like Bing Image Creator, Bing Video Creator has two creation speeds: fast creation and standard creation. Standard creation is free. Fast creation generally requires use of Microsoft Rewards points. We may, in our discretion, offer you credits that you can use for fast creations so that you can experience Bing Video Creator's best quality and fastest speed.

You can create and queue up to 3 in-progress video generations at any time. If you already have 3 video generations in progress, you will not be able to generate another video until one of your in-progress videos is completed. We will notify you when your video is done and you can view it in the Bing Video Creator miniapp within the Bing mobile app or in the "My Creations" portion of Bing Video Creator at bing.com/create.

If you are using Bing Video Creator within Copilot Search or Bing Search, you will be prompted to sign-in to Bing Video Creator before generating any videos.

However, if you upload an image to Bing Image Creator to use or edit, you will not be able to select DALL-E3 or MAI-Image-2.5-Flash - all image editing will be done using GPT4o.

Regardless of which model you choose to use, Bing Image Creator has two creation speeds: fast creation and standard creation. Every day, you'll get a total of 15 free fast image creations with Bing Image Creator's fastest speed. If you use up your 15 fast free image creations, they'll replenish the next day!

You can keep enjoying the Bing Image Creator's fast creation experience by using Microsoft Rewards points or you can continue creating for free at our standard speed if you don't mind waiting. Standard creation is slower than the fast creation speed, so images will take longer to generate. You can input up to 200 prompts per 24-hour period. The 200 prompt limit includes each time you click "Edit image". If you use all of your 200 prompts in a given 24-hour period, they'll replenish the next day.

Bing Image Creator strives to provide creations quickly, so in some cases when using a prompt that is similar to other recently used prompts, it may show you a previously generated image that was saved temporarily rather than creating a brand new image from scratch. That saved copy is called a "cached image."

For safety reasons, Bing Video Creator will not allow images of realistic faces to be uploaded and used for video generation. You may only upload images of people with their consent.

If you upload an image or use it for image generation or editing, it's processed to complete your request and may be retained for up to 30 days. Images where faces are detected will be deleted after 30 days; if no faces are detected, images may be stored for up to 18 months.

We may use images uploaded to generally improve our image processing services, but we will not use them to train models or personalize your Bing Image Creator or Bing Video Creator experience. We will not attempt to identify any faces appearing in uploaded images.

For safety reasons, Bing Video Creator will not allow images of realistic faces to be uploaded and used for video generation.

Biometric data is only processed if you upload it, and it's solely used to respond to your request. For example, if you snap a selfie and ask Bing Image Creator to edit the image to give you a new hairstyle, it may analyze your facial features to edit the image or generate a new image. For safety reasons, Bing Video Creator will not allow images of realistic faces to be uploaded and used for video generation.

Note that Bing Image Creator and Bing Video Creator do not use uploaded images to train AI models or personalize your experience. We will not attempt to identify any faces appearing in uploaded images. Images where faces are detected will be deleted within 30 days after upload.

You're always in control of what you share. If you prefer not to have biometric data processed, simply avoid using these features. Do not share images of others without their consent.

For the best results, be highly descriptive and imaginative. Adding specific details such as adjectives, locations, lighting, camera angles, and media styles like "digital art" or "photorealistic" can significantly enhance the quality of the generated image or video.

We'll tell you how many Rewards points each generated image will cost, and you can choose to enable use of Microsoft Rewards points in your Bing Image Creator settings. Enabling use of Microsoft Rewards points for Bing Image Creator will not update your settings for Bing Video Creator, you must separately update your Bing Video Creator settings to use Rewards points to generate videos. You can go back to standard creation at any time by enabling standard speed in your Bing Image Creator settings.

When you enable use of Microsoft Rewards points, you are authorizing Microsoft to deduct Microsoft Rewards points from your Rewards points balance each time you generate an image using Bing Image Creator's fast creation speed (after you use up your 15 fast free creations per day) until you change your settings to enable standard speed or until you run out of Microsoft Rewards points, whichever is earlier.

If you run out of Microsoft Rewards points, you will be switched back to Bing Image Creator's standard creation speed automatically, but you will still get your 15 fast creations per day. You will also be reminded that you have the option to earn more Microsoft Rewards points that you can use for additional fast creations.
