Designer has some limitations but it might compete with Canva
There are some limitations to the free AI generator of Designer. For example, AI-generated images come in a predefined size of 1024 × 1024. So, you might need to learn how tocreate specific prompts. Also, if you decide to use the version that comes with the Copilot browser, you will have a limited number of five AI generations per query.

In this way, it will be easier to crop it out of the picture without modifying its size. Also, if you are a Canva enthusiast, know this tool is similar. Additionally, you can use them both, especially since Designer has some of the premium features from Canva for free.
