What are boosts?
Boosts help you create better than ever with accelerated AI image creation, editing, and resizing for even more creative flexibility. Once you run out of boosts, boosts will replenish in a day.
- If you're signed in with a personal Microsoft account, boosts make image creation faster. If you run out of boosts, you can still create, but images may take longer to generate until boosts replenish.
- If you're signed in with a work or school account, boosts operate differently and represent the number of prompts you can use to create images. If you run out of boosts while signed in with a work or school account, you can no longer create until boosts replenish.

How do I create better prompts?
Creating an image with Image Creator works differently from searching for an image in Bing.
It works best when you're highly descriptive. So, get creative and add details: adjectives, locations, even artistic styles such as "digital art" or "photorealistic."
Here's an example of a how to create a longer, more descriptive prompt:
- Original prompt: "astronaut"
- Descriptive prompt: "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"

How is Microsoft addressing responsible AI with Image Creator?
We take our commitment to responsible AI seriously. To learn more about our approach to responsible AI, please visit here.
We have put controls in place to prevent the generation of harmful images. When our system detects that a potentially harmful image could be generated by a prompt, it automatically blocks the prompt and informs the user.
We also make it clear that Image Creator's images are generated by AI. A watermark appears in the bottom left corner of each image created using Image Creator. We have implemented content credentials, provenance based on the C2PA standard, to help users to identify AI generated Images. We allow living artists, celebrities, and organizations to make requests to limit the creation of images associated with their names and brands via the AI-powered features option on our Report a Concern form.
